GeoGuessr is an educational game dedicated to the topic of geography. It was developed in 2013 by a Swedish IT consultant - Anton Wallen. Over time, this initially free title switched to a subscription model, offering additional features for a fee.

Gameplay

GeoGuessr uses resources from Google Street View. During the game, we are transported to a random location in the world, and our task is to guess our location before time runs out.

To accomplish this, we need to rely on all available information and clues. We can determine our location based on various factors such as architecture, road signs, the language used on the signs we see, the position of the sun or local flora.

Depending on the selected mode, the game allows us to freely move around locations, as well as look around the environment and zoom in. Some modes have these capabilities disabled, which significantly increases the difficulty level.

Once we are certain about where we are at a given moment, we can indicate our location on the map. The program rewards us with points. Our score depends on the distance between our actual location and the place indicated by us (but it is also conditioned by other factors, such as the response time).

Game modes

Depending on the version of the game, GeoGuessr may allow to play alone or in multiplayer mode over the Internet, in which we compete for points with other players (individually or in teams).
