Meso 38 #1 May 20, 2013 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. http://www.Geoguessr.com PS: No cheating and running off to google search.

Nataly 38 #3 May 20, 2013 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).

wmw999 2,515 #4 May 20, 2013 I averaged a little over 2000 points per guess over 3 games -- 1900, 2700, 2200. Interesting.

jakee 1,558 #7 May 20, 2013 14335 on my first try without googling. (5k+ came from a lucky guess that a random city in Brazil would be Brazilia)Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,515 #8 May 20, 2013 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.

wmw999 2,515 #10 May 20, 2013 I get it -- I thought each instance was a game. Got bored early, I guess. Oh well.

Nataly 38 #11 May 20, 2013 faulknerwnGot 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)."There is no problem so bad you can't make it worse." - Chris Hadfield « Sors le martinet et flagelle toi indigne contrôleuse de gestion. » - my boss Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nataly 38 #18 May 20, 2013 weaverdjust 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...

BikerBabe 0 #21 May 20, 2013 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.
