Common questions

Is there an r/place or wplace for Chicago?

Place Pixels is one shared canvas laid over the real world, so Chicago is on it at street level. Every square is 10 meters across, it never resets, and 33 pixels are standing there now.

Who is on the Chicago board?

AralynDarkwhisper leads all time. Standings reset each season, so a newcomer competes against one quarter rather than every year at once, and ranking counts unboosted placement only.
