Bang goes my afternoon...

[Scouse]

In a strangely interesting way


Geoguessr. Plonks you down somewhere random on google streetview. You can walk about a bit, then you have to click on the world map to make your guess about where you are.

It does this 5 times, then you get a score.

No. It's cool

This is great. Goodbye afternoon of productivity, hello afternoon of procrastination.

 

[Fweddy]

Awesome fun. Good find Scouse. My first go.

My attempt

Unfortunately the last place was bugged for me. It was a big road with some plants nearby, but I couldn't move anywhere. So I just guessed Africa. Shame, I was doing well until then.

 

[eksdee]

Damn, you guys are good!

Here's my second go: http://www.geoguessr.com?v=eyJ0b3Rh...zNDAzNDI0MjI0MDEsMTIuMjE2Nzk2ODc1LDIzNTFdXX0=

Dropped the ball on the last one, it was Western Australia and I guessed South Africa, but there was nothing to see in any direction.

27,264 Screwed up the last one, couldn't find a clue. Lots of research using google maps, so maybe cheating, but lots of satisfaction when you switch to street view and see the same picture. Particularly proud of the Tasmania one as I noticed that the moss was growing on the south side of a tree, hence had to be Southern Hemisphere.

 

[Scouse]

18646 - no research other than in the game itself.

The fact that one of the was Valdez Harbour helped a lot so I knew it wasn't too far from Anchorage.

Its fun looking up references; I got one in Indiana from an election sign from 2012 for a piddly district election, and another one in Brazil from a phone number.

21,000-odd. Queensland and Thailand were hard to gauge where, but I found a nice French restaurant in Windham, not far from New York

 

[caLLous]

Game finished!

You got 18318 points in total.

I'm really enjoying the researching aspect of this. I was completely thrown by some obscure outdoor statue. There was a road with a pedestrian crossing with alternating white and yellow stripes. I had not a clue where this was a thing and picked Greece, but it was in Russia.

Nailed A and E, B and C were "right country wrong bit" and D was way off.

Fucks sake, one of mine put me in a theme park. Rollercoasters everywhere.

 

[old.Tohtori]

So everyone has probably been to the jamaican palace/big house thingy?
