WHY NOT?
From New York to Saint-Louis-du-Ha! Ha!
You don’t need to live in a metropolis to play. If the streets appear in the map data, your corner of the world can become your next quiz.
I want to learn
Gradually remember street names and see how well you know your neighbourhood.
Open learning mode →A geography quiz at neighbourhood scale
Everyday geography is about more than countries, capitals and flags. You may know the shape of your neighbourhood, its shops and your usual routes perfectly well while still hesitating over a street name. Name This Street turns that implicit knowledge into a game.
A different way to learn street names
The map connects each street name with its position, direction and surrounding environment. The game’s suggested reviews encourage progressive recall, without claiming to replace a scientifically validated learning method.
Explore your city… or another one
Montreal today, Paris tomorrow and New York next — or a small town in Quebec. The same map engine lets you play anywhere enough named streets are available.
