Using Apple TV, I broadcast my laptop’s screen to the TV so everyone could see. GeoGuessr was a huge hit at this year’s annual Pogue multi-family holiday gathering (the assembled parents, siblings, and nieces and nephews of my wife and me). The Pro model is also supposed to eliminate ads, but guess what? In weeks of playing, I haven’t seen any ads! The Virtues of GeoGuessr It’s $3 a month (presumably this is the business model). There’s also a Pro version that lets you create your own maps. Cities, or European Stadiums, or Famous Places none, in my view, are quite as exciting as the World version. For example, you can limit the quest to U.S. You play five rounds, racking up the highest score you can. Sometimes, it’s the architecture of the buildings or the design of the cars that give away the region you’re in.Īnd occasionally, you strike gold: you spot a navigational sign that identifies the town you’re in, or a nearby one, or at least lets you know what language they speak here. Maybe a certain kind of trees, bushes, or crops give you a hint. Maybe the cars sharing your road have really wide, skinny license plates-clearly a non-North American thing. Maybe the white lines on the sides of the road are dashed instead of solid, telling you that you’re not in Kansas anymore (or even the United States). Other times, you’ll have some clues right away. How on earth are you supposed to figure out where you are? An unpaved road through barren fields, empty for many, many miles. Sometimes, you’re plopped down in the proverbial middle of nowhere. You’re looking for clues as you move along the road, turn around to look, or zoom in and out, using the arrow keys or the mouse. Your challenge: Figure out where you are.
