GeoGuessr - the Google Maps game

https://geoguessr.com/

using Google Maps it drops you in a random location around the world and you have to find out where. Much harder than you think since the signs might not be in English. Great game to play competitively against friends especially with the 1 guess only rule.

oh I love this one! Shame I am terrible at it why not have a go and say if you won or show screenshots in this topic!

we need a geoguessr topic where we show screenshots of somewhere random and the rest of us have to figure out where

why not here?

good idea

but if you can't read signs how long will it take?
days?
it's like being lost in india on holiday or something

good practice for such a problem

but you can't ask the locals if you knew the language so..

just started geoguesser. hmmm Looks englishy. lots of piney trees

go check the brand of the car

oh good idea

oh yeah that lol

find a town

this road looks long. may take a while

oh shit a parked company van! SCORE!

is it cheating to search the name using google?

no use searching it. not getting any good results. there is a company called lucin inc that do website building but is English and I doubt it is coz founded in 2014 so a bit late for this I think and also a band of some sort. same language keeps coming up despite not being the right company though. here is the search. think can recognise the language?

oh shit a sign!

look up the differences in local street signs in google

no wait. zoom in on the fancy text under the exclamation point

you'd think this would make it easier but actually no. found whole page of signs aand which country they addear to and none of these came up TYPICAL! This is the best clue I got

what you talkin about bro?

had a further look we are definetly in Europe due to signs but that type of sign is used in many places. also there is what I think is a dead sheep on the side of the road so...yeah

keep travelling til you get to a town

show us anything you find

lol can't get more jackpot than this! ITS A FRIGGIN SIGN VAN!
