I went through checking road signs and intersections and shit like that... got something like 23k on my 2nd attempt (first one I just picked without thinking). Very addicting game!!

Reckon it's legit using that little map to help triangulate?

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.

I was at 0.008 km from the correct location, did not think about that though, Ill "cheat" and check though.
Edit: Your guess was 0.013 km from the correct location and gave 6478 points. (Didnt have to cheat, they put me outside the Leninmausoleum, this might be a record with some work.)

My record is 24114, with only walking around, no maps/google.

The max score is 6479 per, so the total maximum is 32395.

Seems I have a hard time distinguishing between small towns in desolated areas in mid USA and Australia, probably a European thing? At least that is the majority of my "only half a globe wrong" guesses

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.

Australia tends to be more desert in the middle and cities on the coast. I guess with those countries you could just pick the center most point you can.

Australians drive on the left hand side of the road.

30,197 on my second game. First game had two Russian cities where I guessed Moscow both times and were incredibly far off

.

The second game went a lot better and looking at cars, signs, ads got me the exact city/village on four of them and the fifth was on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere. Environment looked Italian and when I finally saw a farmhouse with a name sign over the letter box saying Perkovic I figured it's probably Croatia, and it was.

Got a pretty decent score on the second try, because I went into tryhard mode, googling every piece of info I could find, and it is pretty straightforward then. But I enjoy this game more when I just try to roughly guess where I could find such a landscape/vegetation/....

Edit: just mistook South Africa for West Coast USA and got 43 points. We should make some contests for such low scores too.

Funniest part is the hover-over text for that one. Since the one in Denmark is the original one

MY BEST.

Does anyone know how to review the questions again after seeing the answer? I'd like to go back and see if there were any clues I missed. Like in the Brazil answer from my result.

Literally every single question I've gotten far off has been Australia, fuckin Australia.

first one that had a sign in hungarian, and luckily i can read hungarian. so i was pretty close.
second was a house and a bushy streat with subtropian /mediterrian vegeation and sea with clouds in the background. i guessed south africa, it was hawai.
third was a street in the middle of nowhere with boreal vegatation. i guessed it was finland, but it was somwhere in canada.
4th was a street in the middle of nowhere with betula pendula wood vegatation, frost-dmgd streets and yellow street markings, i guessed it was in northern sibiria. It was somewhere in north usa
5th was leftdrivers in a town wich had a shield "victoria place", i guessed somewhere in the middle of england, it was north scotland though.

somehow funny, whenever there is no language evidince, and there is just nothing but a street and trees, no vehicles, nothing, i think it might be very norhtern europe / asia, and always is usa / canada. Seems like the author of this is american.

~19k is my high score so far, I guessed one in Seoul within 2.8km but my best was 60m, wasn't really fair though since it was at the border between South Australia and Northern Territory, there was only one road between them
