Geoguessr - Post your score

Recommended Posts

I don't know how many of you have played this game, but it's great fun. Basically you are given a google street view shot from a random location in the world, and you guess which area you're in, and depending how close you are in distance, points are given. There are five rounds in a game.

Post your highest final score after 5 rounds.

PS: No cheating and running off to google search.

11267 on first attempt, 9767 on second, 10247 on third attempt... On the second and third attempts I made one massive mistake!!! No cheating and using only clues from the site in question (which side of the street the signs were, km/hr instead of mph, Chinese symbols, et cetera).

Fun game!

I averaged a little over 2000 points per guess over 3 games -- 1900, 2700, 2200. Interesting.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

If you got 6800 guessing Taiwan when it was in Brazil, then I'm confused... I was within a couple hundred to a thousand or so miles on each of mine.

I get it -- I thought each instance was a game. Got bored early, I guess. Oh well. Those were my first three guesses

Got up to 9045 once I figured out you could spin the scene!



Yep - a lot of clues... Even with googling, though, I'm certain you would need to have a general idea of where you already are (aside from the times there is a street-sign that shows distance to a specific city).

Thanks to today's plug by xkcd, I can't get to the site at all. :D:D

14321 on my second try, but I got lucky. One of the locations was Hong Kong, and another was Cape Cod. :ph34r:



My closest guesses were in Italy and South Africa - less than 150km.

just tried again and got 18550



17556 by cheating, although one answer was way off because all I could tell was dirt roads and driving on the left side... I assumed Australia (which was correct) but my exact guess was quite far off...

you have completely ruined my day....

I'm averaging around 12k points per game, unless I make a huge mistake. my gut is usually dead on with the general location, specifics are a bit tougher.
