I don't like the ones where you basically have to recognize it. I like figuring it out. When you can't even see the sun it gets hard. I liked the bridge one because I could figure it out logically, I didn't recognize it at all.

You monster.

The ginger kid gave away Ireland for the first one and geographically with the sea to the East it could only be that bridge, but could not find the Three Arena so thought it might have been wrong.

Second one I thought was the Bolivian Salt Flats :lol:

Third completely threw me. I was in Switzerland for ages but changed my mind last minute.

4th again I hovered over that lake in Cambodia but went for nearer Sihanoukville in the end.

5 can feck off

Same re: Bolivia, ffs. The flag and Angkor gave away Cambodia, Tonle Sap was just a guess though. Been there one time when I was too hungover to visit Angkor.

Fifth had a Moroccon feel to it. Not even close at all but still a lot closer than most :lol:

How did you know the UK one was Swansea?
There was a welsh flag near that salon and then took a guess between Swansea and Cardiff.
The number of restaurants and parks and all gave away an impression this was a touristy place. Couldn't be Cardiff, as I'd expect a capital city to be less boring :wenger:

For the desert one, I was thinking Chile actually. Mountains and dryish sand.

The last one - I knew it was an Arab/ North African country thanks to the architecture, but stupidly went for UAE/Qatar region

Only just seen know that it was indeed Morocco, thought it was UAE but suppose that was your guess that I was looking at then!

Just spent 10 minutes making a map for you guys only to find out at the end that it's only for Pro members :lol: :(

Is there a way to play for free? Don't want to pay if I don't have to.

I used to play this years ago and I'm sure it used to be free?

It is free to play our challenges we post here but I think anything else you need to pay £2.

Are you playing your own maps and putting it close to the answer? That's really bad GeoGuessr RedCafe Map Creator Etiquette.
I like to see what order it puts my maps in, as when you create it doesn't always do them in the order you selected. The second one on this is the last one I chose.

Sure, I play mine too, but I make all my guesses Antarctica so no one thinks I won. Because I'm not a dirtbag.

:lol: Everyone knows I made the map, I also didn't play the last round so my score wouldn't show at the end.

Oh yeah. They must have changed that recently, because previously you never saw someone's score if they hadn't finished.

Anyway, I'm happy. #4 seemed impossible, but I may have missed something.

Did you miss the fact that you're a terrible Geo-guesser?

How on earth did you get 5k on 3? :lol:
Like I say, I was there in 2019. And it's a very boring place!

Edit: As someone who's never done much travelling, it is weird that of all these quizzes, I've been to six or seven of the locations so far.
