Geo Guru tells you two city names (e.g. A: Los Angeles, California or B: Dallas, Texas) and you must guess (i.e. say A or B) which one is a greater distance from your starting location. A game round consists of 5 city pairs. At the end of each game, the score is computed as the percentage of correct answers. The object of the game is to get as many correct guesses as possible.
For returning users, their long-run score is also provided at the starting menu. Try to maximize your lifetime win percentage!
