GeoGuessr is a geography game where you are placed in a random location using Google Street View and you have to guess where in the world you are located. The closer you pinpoint your location on the map, the more points you get.
GeoGuessr is an online geography game developed by Anton Wallén that launched in 2013. The game utilizes Google Street View to drop players randomly across the world, where they must figure out exactly where they have been placed using visual clues from the surroundings.
When starting a game, GeoGuessr generates a random location from Google Street View imagery from across the globe. As a player, you are presented with a 360-degree panoramic photo of the location, with standard Street View navigation controls to move around. Using clues like road signs, language, vegetation, vehicles, architecture style and more, you must pinpoint exactly where you think that spot is on an overhead map.
The closer you get the location right, the more points are awarded. Even just getting the correct country or region will earn you some points. GeoGuessr has different game modes including timed and unlimited, along with ranked competitive play where you can compare your score globally. It’s an entertaining way to sharpen your geography knowledge and observational skills.
An account is free but required to keep track of your scores. There are also paid subscription plans that unlock more game modes without ads. With users and locations across the entire world, GeoGuessr leverages Google’s vast Street View database to provide an endless supply of new locations to explore.
