If you manage to find all the answers, you will be able to boast of knowing Paris like the back of your hand! So ready to take on the challenge?
“Paris de tête”, that’s its name and it’s the new online memory game that is panicking social networks, in particular the social network X (formerly Twitter). It was developed by engineer Benjamin Tran Dinh with one objective: to challenge Internet users to find as many Paris metro stations as possible. Said like that, the game may seem rather simple, especially for the millions of users who use the metro lines every day. But in reality, it’s far from that easy. Because in Paris, there are 16 lines which serve a total of 309 metro stations. Which makes a large number of metro station names to remember. And in general, people who take the metro often use the same lines: they therefore do not always have the opportunity to test all the lines.
How to play the Head Paris game?
If you are ready to take on the challenge, head over to the site memory.for.paris. The rules of the game are as follows: in the search bar, enter the exact name of each metro station. Be careful to name them correctly without making mistakes, in which case your answer will be rejected. And don’t worry, there’s no timer, just a percentage rate that tells you your score of metro stations found. The goal is to reach 100% (if you can do it)!
The challenge facing other cities around the world
The game was such a success, after being shared by its creator on X on September 29, 2023, that the latter had the idea of extending the concept to other cities in the world. On his website metro-memory.com, you can test your knowledge of the London subway, Vienna, Berlin, but also New York and the capital of the United States, namely Washington DC. So, have you managed to find 100% of the metro stations?
