I’ve never heard of the night before Halloween called anything or be any kind of event until I was grown and then it seems to be a northern thing? Is it ever a thing in Texas or the south? I’m not familiar with it “in these parts.”

Same. I had to pick Hoagie, even though it’s sub where I live now.
Minneapolis/St Paul, and Michigan. I grew up mostly in Israel, but I was born in MN, and lived in MI until I was in third grade, and a lot of my English is from my parents and my younger childhood. Even a decade or two later, the dialect of the NY natives who made up most of my English speaking friends sounded weird. Since I have come back to the USA, I’ve spent most of my time in the Midwest, so that cleaned out any non-midwestern dialect that I ever picked up.
I still say “opin the melk”.

I grew up and live in southern New England and the night before Halloween never was a thing and isn’t really a thing today—here, people go to Salem for the weeks prior to Halloween and party there.
Got Seattle, Spokane, and SLC! Plus the entire western part painted in red hues.

Not only do we have mischief night, but there is a lot of tp’ing going on the entire month of October, plus ghosting (when children leave treats on doorsteps and run).
Ha, we call those Boo bags, or booing, or you’ve been boo’d/booed! (chicagoland)

The first time I took it- spot on Pittsburgh where I am from and where I was raised. Second time I took it was exactly where I used to live in Kansas and Texas (in my 20’s and 30’s)! Oddly the longest place I have lived is CO where I live now, and that did not come up. I guess I formed my speech pattern and choices in younger years. It does say where you are from.

About what I figured: Wisconsin (where I grew up) is the hottest, spreading into southeastern Minnesota, eastern Iowa, northern and western Michigan, and northern Illinois.
Other warmish spots, which I had not expected: Upstate and western New York, Utah, and the northern half of California
ETA: My cities were Madison, Milwaukee, Rockford (IL)

Mine were: Yonkers, Newark, and Philadelphia. I don’t get it. I lived in the Midwest for the first part of my life (Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, and Missouri). Married and moved to MA and have been here for 40 years (apart from 3 years when we were in the DC area).
Interesting. First, I got Detroit and other nearby cities. I’m a 4th-generation Seattleite. When I tried again a few days later, the test had some different (and more?) questions, and this time I got Seattle, Portland, and Reno.

My results indicated that “kitty-corner” is what placed me in Seattle, Spokane, and SLC!
