@BD I see you weren't prepared for the time limit in the first one :D
I forgot how short 10 seconds was!

I think if you're going to have it low, it's fun to have it very low. Just get a quick impression and slap a guess down.
Ah yeah I know, I'm just being a prick

You didn't post the link you donkey
I couldn't contain my excitement at how good one of my guesses was, which has now unfortunately been lost to history.

Here's one where you can move! (@nimic)

But just the 60 seconds.

Edit: Dopey cnut here forgot to add the link, so here's another one

I enjoyed that! A lot more hectic than I am used to, but I did manage to glean some information here and there. Saved a guess or two. That said, I am pretty sure I recognized the road in the first one from when I was making one of my custom rounds :lol: (and also I found the name of the City to confirm).

You're leading the new one anyway, so it's not a full disaster.
I messed up on Romania. I wanted to guess Cluj, since I saw some Transylvania stuff, but wasn't brave enough

I quite liked it too, short enough so you're not tempted to analyse everything, but still time enough to find decent clues. I need to get better at moving though, I often found myself flying down streets without actually stopping to check for clues. Just moving for the sake of it.
I seen a signpost for a town in that Romania one, so I guessed the next town over. Should've guessed Cluj in hindsight.

Here's another nimic special. One of them might be hard, one shouldn't be :lol:

Edit: do you get put in a photosphere for one? It's not supposed to be, and it wasn't when I "played it".

Here's the same one with the photosphere changed, in case someone got it. No cheating if you played the original :P

19,195 on the replacement one. Nothing horribly wrong, although I did end up in the wrong country for the last one. First was a pretty lucky guess tbh.

10,203. Three was painful - I saw a sign with the name of the place, but I had no idea WHERE that place was.

Think you're good at guessing places do you? I present to you...

10,200. I'm looking very warily at how the next one is meant to be the hard mode. I am not having a good day today.

5,021. Which seems to be a decent score looking at the leaderboard.


Here's one for @thebelfastboy. I didn't do very well.

10 seconds to decide, better bring up that map quickly!
5,533. I ran out of time on the last one! One of them, I had a decent idea of where it was, and I couldn't find the bloody country in time so I panicked and just clicked in the general vicinity. (If 200 miles away counts as "general vicinity")

Came pretty close. How the feck did you know where
Ghent
is located :lol:
Decent sized city in a small country, I'm good on those. I think we might have had some Norwegians playing there a couple of times, Norwegians in foreign leagues get a lot of attention (and their clubs).

Also, spoiler your stuff :D

Ah yeah, that makes sense! And apologies, have spoilered it.

I also went to Brugge once and spent some summers in the Netherlands, so I may have looked at the Benelux countries on the map a few times. Now Genk I have no idea where is.
Eastern part of the country but it's really not a big city or tourist hot spot, compared to Bruges or Ghent.

Just got so excited that I knew where it was and it was the first one in Belgium I ever had too :lol:

I contend that we were both equally wrong about that Calgary guess :p Hob deserves some credit though.

All our combined distance in the Ghent guess was 55km (most of that from one person), and for the Houston guess 45 thousand km :lol:
yeah that's fair, both our Canadian guesses were equally not so good.

Who fecked up Ghent? Name and shame

Yeah I guess we didn't have a lot of time to consider clues there.

I think varying up the modes (and maps) a bit is a good idea, to keep it from going stale. Some faster games are fun, just as long as I don't "have" to do them every time. My nerves can't handle them. That 1 minute moving one was pure adrenaline from start to finish.

Okay lads, here's another one. 30 seconds this time. I barely beat my 10 second score :nervous:

https://www.geoguessr.com/challenge/ZGdoJxMovKgodbTP
First time in a while I've been near the top of the leaderboards.

So far from playing this game I've deduced that...

Northern Europe (Norway, Sweden & Denmark) I cannot for the life of me tell apart.

I have no clue about the differing areas of America. I can usually tell its America, but have no idea how to narrow it down.
