Yeah I usually end up getting just around 10k, but to score that high is insane lol. T_T

The game where I scored 23k took like 30 minutes. Even when I knew where it was I had to zoom in the map and make logical guesses to make it closer, such as road intersections, turns, road orientation, etc :p
|
11500~ is my highest so far, what I find helps a lot is looking for vehicles and what side of the road they're driving or parked on
(ie. I see Holden, left side of the road, pretty safe bet is Australia/I see a Ute, parked on the right side of the road AND the front of a nearby sign is on the right, 'Murica).
Closest guess so far was 50km's off in Norway haha, no idea how
|
9500 on my first go, I got one with a visible pound sign and one with yen. Also another with fat people and palm trees that I guessed correctly to be somewhere in California
|
10122 haha. All 5 guesses were pretty close, except i thought taiwan was japan 
really fun  for some reason..

Great game. Thanks for this

I got lucky  I guessed Canary Isles for Madeira, but my others were Tulum, Mexico-Pikes Peak, Colo- This place with Angkor Wat in the distance, Cambodia, and Ngorogoro Crater, Tanzania, all places I recognized pretty easily.
|
13437 was my best score. Got really lucky on 2 of them because I found some extremely specific identifying information. I found a lake name in one and an airport name in the other. I was able to get both within 50 km because of that.
|
got just over 5k for my first go now after reading all the posts i must do better
|
Wow, got within 10 km this time thanks to finding a street name that only exists one place in the entire world. Got over 5000 points for that. 16056 new high score.
|
Seem to just be getting fields. Had one with just grass and loads of ducks...
Highest so far is 12,085 :S
|
First try got about 16,000ish. Got really lucky and my first area had a landmark sign, the second one had a flag and a city name on top of a gas station. Those two alone gave me like 12k. Managed to get a 56 or something when I thought australia was texas.

Did ok, had one REAL bad guess though. Thought medley road was South African farm area. Was like a dirt road with farm randomly so thought South Africa when it was fucking Canada fml ;_; ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/GBA4VHI.jpg)
|
I clicked without even zooming in on the map on my second try with no identifying information in the picture and got 46km away. lol. First try total 12987 (no town names or anything in any picture)

I probably average something like 8k points, getting around 2k for most guesses and botch one.
I have a really hard time with Australia, sink that continent and this game would be easier

This was fun
I got 11k, completely fucked up one guess and literally went halfway around the world from the right answer. Other than that most were surprisingly close, will try a few more and see if that was blind luck lol!
|
14.19k
It helped that my first place was literally right in front of a post office that gave me the name zip code of the place, lol. Got it within 2 miles.
It's really fun to try and piece together where you are. Feel like a detective. It's kind of annoying though when you get some innocuous place clearly in like Australia or Russia which means you'll be in the right country but maybe thousands of miles off.
|
I decided to see what a "spot on" guess would be, hitting 0.023km away and got 6474 points for it.
Tried again "Your guess was 0.781 km from the correct location and gave 6413 points", so seems like max is 6500 for a single guess, if you hit 0.000km from correct location.
|
It really scales up the closer you get. A few hundred meters wil reward 6000+ points, while just being close geographically is around 2000 points. Got a statue in Barcelona and a University in the US right (few hundred meters radius), over 6000 each, but fucked up the rest so hard, that it didn't even matter :-)
This game is so much fun !
