pap Posted 11 May, 2013 Share Posted 11 May, 2013 That's a question I've been asking myself all morning. Wouldn't normally post this sort of thing in the Lounge, but this is a very smart diversion that'll get your noodle working. http://geoguessr.com/ You get taken to five places in the world via Google Maps, and have to guess where you are.

ericofarabia Posted 11 May, 2013 Share Posted 11 May, 2013 I asked myself the same question when I woke up this morning after a bit of a long day on the booze yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubai_phil Posted 11 May, 2013 Share Posted 11 May, 2013 That was the same question I was asking about Eric when he vanished into thin air in the queue for the bus. You sure that you didn't bump into those weird Brazilian Air Stewards again? Nice App by the way Pap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first guess was 37km, the second 11km and then I started getting the wrong countries, Spain instead of Brazil, Norway instead of Finland, Australia instead of USA.

It helps when you have signposts of course but some of the rural ones are impossible..guessed the tip of South America on one...turned out to be Alaska. Good fun though...thanks.

The9 Posted 13 May, 2013 Share Posted 13 May, 2013 16403 on my first go, helped by a sign saying "KAZAN" and a car park near the Golden Gate Bridge that my dad actually took a photo of in 1994 when we were over there for the World Cup. Managed to mistake Indonesia for Brazil though, despite some apparently Spanish but turned out Portuguese in the sign. They were driving on the right, dammit !

Comes to something when you're delighted to identify Australia based on what might be a kangaroo sign at a very oblique angle and are happy at getting a state in America that's reasonably near the Canadian province you're actually looking at.
