Addictive game. How well do you know the world?

If you were dropped in a random place in the world, how long would it take you to figure out where you are?

I pretty much correctly guessed every country so far within about two mins.

Try it

This is fun

I had actually never heard of Gros Morne National Park...looks amazing, though.

If only you knew how bad things really are.

Fun game. I like that you can move, it makes the challenge more sporting than the version I played before where you can only turn in a circle.

Your total points scored:11,331

Fun game

Would be better if there weren't as many long stretches of nothing to identify.

But the city spots are fun to figure out

That one was good. Being from FL I knew Cedar Key pretty quickly.

Congratulations! 14,426 vs 8,247

Most seem to be in English-speaking countries (former British colonies). This one has an FSU location (5th round):

It would be more interesting if they showed average scores as well.

For some reason, three of my spots where in the FSU (Kiev and two in Russia). The other two were in northern Spain and Sicily

Got one in Japan and I actually guessed it to within less than 30 km

9141. Fucked up bad by mistaking a scene from the Australian Outback for Africa, but then guessed New Foundland to literally within 10 km and recovered big time.

Great game. I usually score around 12,000 but have hit as high as 18,000.

The very first pic was outside the Bundaberg distillery so I knew exactly where to go. Was off by only 3 km.

Cool game, would be better if they had a few less random roads in the middle of nowhere, who ever can guess those has some serious skills or mapped along for ages till they reached something relevant.

You mean *your* first pic.

There's tons of pics and its totally randomised so you can play it over and over again without getting the same locations.

Yeah just drive along until you hit a road sign and that often gives it away. Sometimes you can tell by vegetation.

Anyone else get that underwater park on Okinawa? That was neat. You can even go down the stairs. I guessed the correct island, even though I've never been there. Q: Is this just a bunch of random points in google maps or is there some rhyme/reason why places are picked?

I should probably "unlike" this because of the amount of time wasted, haha.

On the plus side I've found some places I'd like to visit someday.
