What is GeoGuessr?

Have you ever wanted to explore the entire world from the comfort of your own home? You can do just that with GeoGuessr. This online geography game takes you to a random location via Google Street View, and your task is to identify where you are. By investigating the roads, signs, terrain, and environmental clues, you'll make your best guess on the world map, earning points based on how close you are to the actual location.

Whether you've got a passion for geography, a desire to travel, or you're just looking for a fun puzzle, GeoGuessr is your chance to satiate that desire while also challenging your geographic skills.

A Guide to Playing GeoGuessr

The gameplay of GeoGuessr is very easy, but not simple. Here is how it works:

• First, you start a game. Pick a map type, or choose from map types like "World", "Famous Places", or a specific country like "United States" or "Japan".
• Then you get dropped automatically by Google Street View in a random location. You could be dragged into downtown Tokyo, a dirt road in rural Argentina, or a quiet little village in Norway.
• Next, you explore. Use the navigation tools to move around, and look for clues that may link you to your location. Language on signs, type of building styles, the types of vegetation, vehicles, or even road markings can help you eliminate possible locations.
• Then you make your guess. Click on the world map where you think you are.
• Finally, you score points based on the distance between the locations. The closer you are, the more points you score!

Playing GeoGuessr is simple - each game contains multiple rounds of guessing, you can play against your friends, or play a timed challenge for an added challenge!
