GeoGuessr - Get Lost

The premise is simple: you are randomly dropped somewhere on the earth, and you have to use Google street view to figure out where you are. I found this on Reddit and thought there would be plenty of people here who would enjoy it. It's surprisingly fun and addictive. What's your high score? Mine's 14,235. |

Botswana has destroyed many a fine round for me. Turns out it looks just like Texas.

Y'all should play on hard mode with me. You can't move the location at all (but you are allowed to Google anything you can see or zoom in on from your fixed starting spot. 15,000 scores on "hard mode" feel so good.

We should have three different leagues:
1. Anything goes. Use google or whatever. 2. Don't move, but use google or whatever. 3. Walk around all you want, but you can't use any resources other than your own knowledge. (I prefer this one myself.) I guess there's a fourth option where we don't move, and rely on your own knowledge, but I haven't seen anyone use that yet.

I had 21,000 points. It gave me one in Wyoming, one in Colorado, one in Washington State, one in Poland, one in Australia. Australia and Wyoming were hard. Totally middle of nowhere.

I usually live and let live, but I have to speak up here. You people who are using the maps and using google are leaving yourselves woefully unprepared in the event of spontaneous teletransportation. If you get spontaneously teletransported to a random spot on the globe, you aren't going to have the map to help you. You may not have your phone, and even if you did it probably wouldn't work due to the large-scale natural electromagnetics involved in spontaneous teletransportation. You're going to land somewhere, and it's going to be up to you to figure out where you're at, using only what's in your head. Using google and maps and stuff in this preparatory simulation is only going to make you more vulnerable in the actual event. Go fully monty on the information. Walk around and give it your best shot. You'll thank yourself later when it actually happens.
