The Geoguessr Challenge Group at LT

A fairly new map based game called geoguessr started on the internet last year and was played here for a time on Maps and Atlases. Generally speaking, it is a map game where you try to locate wherever you have been randomly dropped on the globe. There are five consecutive drops. That is, after finishing drop one, you will be dropped on another location on a map for drop two, etc. You may use whatever internet or other resources you wish to help find where you were first dropped each time. One can "wander about" on the map at guessr's page much as you can on Google Map's Street View.

If you would like to play the game with other LT members who may be interested in geoguessr feel free to join the Geoguessr Challenge Group. This group was set up by us as dedicated to just the geoguessr game. The first game will be posted on Wednesday, January 15th and answers for that game are due on or before month end January. See the information on the Geoguessr Challenge Group page for further information.

The more the merrier, and the game is really fun for map and geography enthusiasts!

I've found it led me to a new appreciation of terrain.

This month's challenge is up here

The March 15, 2014 (to the last day of March) challenge is here. You are invited to play if you wish. Try it!

Good news for mobile users. There is a beautiful free version in the App Store for use on Apple devices.

Has anyone tried Geoguesser lately? I just did for the first time in a couple of years. It's still working.

I go back to it every now and then.

I'm looking for the app now, since I don't have enough things running on my phone.

The Geoguessr app still works and am still playing it on occasion.
