Where is this sky?

Six clues from one city's sky, one at a time. Name the city.

How to play

Each day one city's sky is described in six clues, the vaguest first: its day, its year, its noon shadow, its moon, its stars and its clock.

Guess a city after each clue. A wrong guess tells you how far the hidden city lies from it, in which direction, and how its day and its noon compare. You have six guesses.

Everyone plays the same sky on the same day, here and in Sol. A shared result never names the city.

In Sol, the Almanac and the Gnomon share one card each day, under the same number, and a city you find can join your World board.
