Get dropped somewhere in the world in google streetview and figure out where you are.

5 locations per round, more points the closer you guess.

I can't seem to break 11k. Northern Canada and Northern Europe look too similar. Can you do better?

Do not follow this link if you plan on doing anything else today.

Lol, I had no idea on one image, so I just pressed somewhere in Brazil. Turned out it was like half a centimeter off

What the hell I just got a location under water with a scuba diver taking a photo of a really big ray fish. How am I meant to know where on the map that is?

What a great game! Right about the time thing... competes with productive action.

Points was 8707. The last round I had a road with 2 indian or African looking people, then a warning sign of an elephant in the side and a bit later a small, white car and two (Western looking) cyclists... okay, still not too sure, but this puts it down to indian elephants or african elephants... a bit later on a new sign of cattle... okay, going with India... and it turned out to be Africa anyways

.

Great game... surely interesting to feel like one is "traveling".

**Don Vito Corleone** · 2013-05-21, 10:27 PM

first one was somewhere in america, got close to that.

second one was right next to a sign "Welcome to Alaska"...

3rd one was wildly off. thought Africa, but was Australia.

4th one I googled a name and came across an estonian village. got 3K for that one.

last one was in russia. gambled close to moskow, was far away actually.

edit: got 10K points in the end.

**Kromtar** · 2013-05-21, 10:43 PM

13544, last one was in hong kong with a banner that said "Hong Kong Asia's City" or something like that, got over 5k points for it. One before it was in Austrailia somewhere with a hotel that looked like it was out of a western and I guessed Texas and only got 150 points so they balanced out. Other guess were all worth over 2k.

**Hezo** · 2013-05-21, 10:50 PM

Alright! Did some research on this one, luckily I got two locations in South Korea, I found that out from seeing signs with korean written on them. Knowing the korean language made it quite easy for me.

Last round points: 2931
Total points: 20609
Round: 5/5

ARGH This is addicting I should have gone to bed long ago.

**Bigitybones** · 2013-05-21, 10:58 PM

i keep getting rural roads lol

**Pengolodh** · 2013-05-21, 11:04 PM

Woah on my first try:
You got 10889 points in total.
I was lucky enough I got two stages in Brazil!

**Hellfury** · 2013-05-21, 11:13 PM

North America biased. Most rounds are all in NA

They have to change the algorithm to make more all arround the world

**~Mynta Swirl~** · 2013-05-21, 11:15 PM

My best try was 11k~ points, and I just clicked random places on the map. Sometimes you get somewhere that's just like, a dirt road in the middle of nowhere and sometimes you get somewhere that's obvious as possible, lol.

More like sample bias. It runs off streetview and Google has more extensive imagery for North America than they do for Africa and such, given the whole headquarters-in-the-USA thing.

You don't have to stay where it puts you you know. Walk until you find a clue.

**Reg** · 2013-05-21, 11:17 PM

Took me long enough to figure out I could spin the image around. I kept getting pictures where all I could see was a road with no landscape lol

**Daear** · 2013-05-21, 11:19 PM

16k first try. Gotta admit I cheated on one, saw a sign saying "Two Rocks". Used wikipedia and got the exact spot the pic was taken from and got 6k points.

It only let's you go so far, though. Unless I just missed something, or it was changed.

**gronch** · 2013-05-21, 11:23 PM

i had 4 random pictures, but the 4th picture included an information stand saying Sochi 2012. Well that was rather easy, just wasn't sure where to place the marker in the town, got me almost 6k points because i was 14KM off

**willtron** · 2013-05-21, 11:24 PM

Good game!

16000 points.

here

My Italy and France one we're actually really easy. They have fair distinctive characteristics in their architecture

Canada and Ukraine really confused me!

Thailand wasn't too hard. due to finding a sign

Mexico was obvious due to Spanish everywhere and American cars

**sTyLnK** · 2013-05-21, 11:28 PM

It's a pretty interesting game, though not very addicting to me. I tried a few and got bored. lol.
