Record-breaking Skyscrapers Quiz

About this quiz

What you’ll learn and practice

From global megacities to fast-growing hubs, this quiz challenges you to identify which city is home to each record-breaking skyscraper. You’ll sharpen your recall of landmark names, locations, and “tallest/first/biggest” distinctions across the world.

Each question uses 4 options and there’s no timer, so you can think through similar-sounding buildings and close-by cities without pressure.

Difficulty and how the quiz is balanced

The difficulty is Mixed: easier items focus on world-famous towers, while tougher ones dig into regional record-holders and buildings with recent title changes. You can also choose your question count and difficulty before starting to tailor the run to a quick warm-up or a full deep dive.

Watch for buildings that changed records after renovations or new completions
Don’t confuse the city with the metro area or nearby neighboring city
Separate “tallest building” from “tallest tower” and other record categories
Pay attention to similar names (Burj/Khalifa vs other Burj-branded towers)
Use elimination: rule out continents/regions first, then narrow to the most plausible city

Common pitfalls (and how to avoid them)

A frequent mistake is mixing up cities with multiple supertalls and assuming the most famous one is always the record-holder. Another trap is relying on country-only knowledge—this quiz is city-specific, so precision matters.

Tips for better scores

If you miss a question, note the city-building pairing and look for patterns: certain cities dominate specific eras of skyscraper records. Replaying with a higher difficulty (or a longer question count) is a great way to turn near-misses into instant recognition.
