Fun game. Amazing what you can decipher from some basic pictures.
I did world map and actually got 2.5 miles in Seoul, Korea.
Suck it losers.

Haha, I got the random highway and clicked the little vague North America map and got 66 miles away.

Now I will never get that close again

I go look at the street view of old houses, and apartments, I used to live in every so often. Not quite as good as a real drive by, but I do it anyway.

World 3rd go round
22,633... 90%


Got two 5000s, one in Spring Hill, TN & the other in Priest River, ID.

& two 4900s, one in Champ du Boulet France & the other in BFE Mexico.

Fun game but I'm wasting my day away.

Your supposed to move around and look for landmarks and stuff




Yes, it's a good time waster. The worst ones are usually rural USA (Kansas/OK/Iowa/Nebraska), miles of nothing flat land. It is pretty cool to find the landmarks/signs and google to find the location.

Really enjoying the famous places one. Much more fun than trying to decide if the random cornfield you got dropped in is in Nebraska or Iowa. Scored 24800 my last try.

Closest guess for me in a US game was 130 miles.

After each play, you get an ad wanting you to join(and making you wait).

No thanks.

Nope. No Google.

Hills narrow it down.
Then types of trees.
Then road surface.

If you see the greenest foliage you've ever seen, look in louisiana or Alabama.

Cotton fields are the ones that are impossible.

That was my issue. I guessed Netherlands on first and was close, saudia on second and was close. But ten second waits between questions got old. I didn't want to sign up.

I was doing ok until they dropped me in Alaska. I missed that one badly. Didn't even consider that.

In the USA you can do that. When it drops you in S Africa/Malaysia/S. America if you don't pick up the road signs you are going to spend hours guessing the location.

Is it cheating if you see a sign with a phone number and google the area code or business, lol?
