Strata

Strata is FlightQ’s daily 3D city-geography game. A real mystery city begins as bare terrain, then gradually reveals weather, water, roads and buildings as you make city guesses. You read its landscape and map structure rather than using a street-view image or a fact clue list.

1. Choose the US + Canada or Worldwide city pool.
2. Study the opening topography for coastlines, relief and overall footprint.
3. Enter a city guess from the search field.
4. Use the reported distance and the newly revealed map layer to narrow the next guess.
5. Name the city before all five guesses are used.

Choose Strata if you prefer visual geography over clue trivia. The layered 3D reveal makes each guess useful while preserving the pleasure of recognising a city from its terrain, water network and eventual skyline.

A wrong city guess reports its distance from the answer and peels back the next 3D map layer. The sequence is topography, weather, water, roads and buildings; the final building layer shows real footprints and heights. This means every miss produces both directional geographic feedback and a richer visual clue.

US + Canada

A smaller pool covering major metropolitan areas in the United States and Canada.

Worldwide

A broader global pool of curated recognizable cities.

• Read terrain before choosing a city: coastline shape, valleys and ridgelines remain visible before later clues arrive.
• Use the distance result to move by region, then let weather and water eliminate lookalike cities.
• Save skyline-driven identification for late guesses; buildings are deliberately the final layer.
