^Probably the coolest one I ever got^

Basically it drops you at a random point in the world via Google streetview and you have to figure out where you are by following clues. My highest score is around 16000. See if you can beat it!

(Googling signs or translating words is cheating!)
I've played this for at least 30 hours. I love it.


Also here are some tips if you are having trouble:

Often you are stuck in a random Asian country with no idea where you are. You can use the language. Korean, Japanese, and Chinese, do not look the same.

Korean has a very large amount of circles and ovals in it, while the other languages tend to avoid wrapping around like that.

Japanese is the simplest, it takes fewer strokes to make those letters and they are not very complicated.

Chinese is the most complicated, and looks like it would be extremely hard to write. It also does not contain many circles.


If you get a desert, it tends to be one of these 3: Queensland/Western Australia, Arizona/New Mexico in the U.S., or South Africa. Find a sign, if it isn't in English it is probably South Africa. If you get a sign in miles, it is in the U.S., if you get one in English using kilometers, chances are it is Queensland or Western Australia. Queensland isn't as hot as Western Australia, so if you have some shrubs or light grass, it is most likely Queensland. If it is just desert, Western Australia.

Go Geoguess! Post your scores below (The links at the end.), and if you get a really good game post a challenge!

10163 is my new score.

Only 1 of my guesses was actually in america.
Which is why I don't like this a lot.

how does that make you dislike it

...So what was the streetview van doing underwater? :o

Makes it harder to guess I suppose.

I kept getting all these places way out in bumforget nowhere,  places that are probably like right up the street from me.

anyting not murica = bad

Remember, every country is magically perfect except for America for some unexplained reason.

11012 is my best so far



I tried this a few weeks ago, several times it put me on a nondescript dirt road in the ass-end of nowhere. Is that fair? That shouldn't be fair.
