How to play Higher or Lower: World Cities

Some cities are far bigger than they look on a map. Tokyo's greater metropolitan area is home to more people than entire countries, while famous capitals like London or Paris are smaller than fast-growing megacities you may never have heard of.

In this mode you compare two cities by their metropolitan population. One number is shown, the other is hidden — trust your instincts and guess whether it's higher or lower. String correct answers together to build a streak and climb the leaderboard.
