Rule Update
I have received a comment asking the following:
What if someone identifies a connection that differs from what you initially found - would you consider it, or is it fixed based on what you came up with and what suited you?
When designing this round, I'd decided that "it's fixed"... but... if somebody goes to great lengths to find an obscure link in a book I'd never heard of, it would be harsh of me to simply say "that's not what I'm looking for".
As a result, I will now include a "hint" to help give an indication of what I'm specifrically looking for.
If the answer is close... on the right track... but not specific enough, I will award a 50% upvote and allow another reply to see if you can find the specifity I'm looking for.
So as not to penalise users who have already guessed (before 8am UK time), I will mute those comments and everybody can have one attempt from now.
I hope this helps and improves this round.
Rule Update 2
To keep the open questions fluid and so as not to deter people from trying to answer (and also to keep you addicted), an incorrect answer will not eliminate you from the question entirely, but you must wait a minimum of 6 hours before trying again.
Round 2 - Question 2
What's the link / connection between the following places?
Hint: Your granny might have come close to visiting these places.

Are you allowed to ask for clues in your puzzle? You have to circle it somehow. But if (according to Google, ChatGPT or other AIs I don't know) only two to four players are still guessing, it's going to be tight.
I'm not going to list all the pretty singers that my grandmother would have liked at some point, because I still have one try (which is a luxury). But music was a clue?
I know the bands Boston and Chicago (I danced to their music, I'm sure many other puzzlers didn't because they were too young...(crap, am I the granny?)). If you look deep into the Wiki, there are also bands called Kansas and Phoenix. But that doesn't fit! It doesn't suit you, I'm sorry.
Is Music the clue?

LOL... Zwei Doofe ein Gedanke (zur fast gleichen Zeit!):

👉 Music is a crucial part of the link.
Boston, Chicago, Kansas and Phoenix are all bands.
Based on the hint, what's the additional detail that I'm interested in?
You can always ask 😉
Sidenote: Alexa's playlists for all of these keywords are very enjoyable

Elvis Presley gave concerts in each of this cities in the year 1956… 😎
0.10 SBD,
0.35 SP
That's an impressive link and whilst not correct, it's the closest answer so far (not 50% close though).
👉 I'm not feelin' satisfied yet, but you've done enough to earn yourself another try.
0.00 SBD,
0.32 SP
No No strategy: Waiting for some other guessers and then I strike from the background with a sex bomb for grannies!
0.05 SBD,
0.18 SP
Tom Jones did ok with the nearly Grannys!
0.00 SBD,
0.32 SP
I also found Tom Jones very original. He's British and in the best age for ‘grannies’. Unfortunately, he didn't perform in all four locations. For all readers: neither did the Fab Four...
Oh that sounds great🤣
0.05 SBD,
0.16 SP
The British band, Fleetwood Mac, did a tour in 1975 that included these cities.
I don't know if my grandmother wanted to go🤔
0.05 SBD,
0.16 SP
❌ That's not the link that I was looking for
You're a similar closeness as chriddi was.
Maybe somebody close to your granny wanted to go? 🤔
In 1975 my granny had been retired already... 😂
Maybe she would have liked to do some world tours anyway🤔🤣
0.05 SBD,
0.16 SP
Certainly!
From Elvis Presley (at least Granny knew him) to Fleedwood Mac... well...
Neither Tom Jones nor The Beatles...
Do you think I should become more modern? At least I won a second attempt and it's not used up yet... 😁
Justin Biber?
0.05 SBD,
0.18 SP
Oh, I don't know... It seems that it is more enigmatic for me to guess what they mean by granny, in my country there are 30-year-old granny... a few days ago I saw one who was 38 years old...😬
0.06 SBD,
0.21 SP
These cities all have museums that have stood the test of time, some being around for decades and others for more than a century.
❌ That's not the answer I'm looking for
They are Jazz-loving cities. In them you can enjoy walks (Jazz Walk of Fame - Kansas), clubs (Wally's Café Jazz Club - Boston) and museums (National Jazz Museum - Chicago)
❌ Jazz is not the link that I'm looking for

Very intelligent mind behind that rules making
Round 2 - Question 3
What links / connects the following places:
0.00 SBD,
0.20 SP
These cities are named after famous cities in UK
0.69 SBD,
2.37 SP
✅
The eight cities are located in the USA. They bear the names of places in Great Britain because they were founded, and in some cases renamed, by British emigrants.
Edit:
Hello, my answer is much more specific… ;-)
I thought this was my chance since I am still very disappointed for looking at thousands of photos wich could show the rainbow smiley at a famous love parade. Probably a women’s problem… ;-D
I would have accepted your answer... but sadly, mojociocio gave me sufficient detail to be correct. He even avoided the mistakes of "not calling them cities" and "saying they're in England" - both mistakes the-mrs-gorilla made!
This is your chance. You've got this.
0.00 SBD,
0.32 SP
I'm not sure if any of this is true?
❌ It's probably true for each individual location, although there's no connection between them all.
These US cities are not directly related to major European cities other than in name, but they were named by early European settlers, often in memory of their place of origin or as a tribute to European history.
❌ mojociocio got the correct answer - They all share a name with a City in Great Britain.
This is Round 2, question 3 right?
Ah yes. Corrected 👍

Round 2 - Question 1
What links / connects the following places:
Hint: Stick to the thoughts of one of the last (muted) answers.
0.00 SBD,
0.20 SP
They are united by the NHL! New York Rangers, New York Islanders. Chicago Blackhawks. San Jose Sharks. Buffalo Sabres.
0.00 SBD,
1.32 SP
👉 You're correct that there's an NHL link, but you now need to connect the 4 that I've mentioned. You can have one last attempt...
Did all these teams win the Stanley Cup?
0.00 SBD,
0.00 SP
Hmm as far as I searched not all of them won, they've participated in at least one, but San Jose Sharks and Buffalo Sabres never won.
Maybe they all made it to the final.
Also not the final link.
❌ That's not the link I'm looking for
NHL's outdoor games, participated in or hosted significant outdoor events
Buffalo, NY - 2008 Winter Classic
New York, NY - 2014 Stadium Series
Chicago, IL - 2009 Winter Classic and 2014 Stadium Series
San Jose, CA - 2015 Stadium Series
👉 Like alexanderkass, you have the correct sport. You can have one last attempt...
No future answers will get another try for linking the NHL. Only the specific link will be correct.
0.00 SBD,
0.06 SP
In each of these cities there is a more or less well-known building that represents the style of the architect Frank L. Wright. The most famous of these is the Guggenheim Museum in New York. In Buffalo it is the Larkin Administration Building, in Chicago the Robie House and in San José the Hanna-Honeycomb House.
❌ That's not the answer I was looking for.
Again... fascinating 🙂
0.00 SBD,
0.32 SP
I guess, based on their logos, these teams are named after animals?
❌ That's not the answer I'm looking for
❌ Not the answer I'm looking for but due to a recent rule update, you can have another try. Please refresh the question and see this comment for details.
❌ Not the answer that I'm looking for
There'll be 1 thing that I'm looking for that connects / links them.
Using (1) from your answer as the example, the answer could be:
"They are all the 2nd largst city in the state."
Using (3), the answer could be:
"They all have nicknames related to weather."
Ok, ya entendí.
Debe ser algo que las relaciona entre sí, que tienen en común.
Gracias intentaré con la 3era pregunta

Not even 5%...ouch 🥲
Not even 1% 🫨
That sounded even worse! Thank you😅
I am pretty sure you'll kick yourself when you see the answer 🙂
Don't tell me. 😒
On the bright side, your cleverness paid off—for real this time. 😉
They may be the main coastal cities of the West Coast of the United States.
❌ That's not the answer I'm looking for
Round 2 - Question 5
What's the link / connection between the following places?

The cities Tampa, FL; Nashville, TN; Chicago, IL; and Cleveland, OH are all scheduled stops on AC/DC's 2025 "Power Up" North American tour. This tour marks the band's return to North America after nine years, with performances planned in various cities across the continent.
0.00 SBD,
3.00 SP
✅ 90% close enough so I'll accept it.
With the information you have, what's significant about the dates / locations that I chose - in relation to the hint that I shared?

all of these places are key locations involved in the operations of the Alaska Marine Highway System (AMHS).
