  • geoguessr is an online game where you get dropped somewhere random in google street view. you look around for clues like signs, landscapes, and buildings, and try to figure out where you are. then you place your guess on the map. the closer you are to the real location, the more points you get.

    here are some useful tricks:

    -yellow license plates can very rarely mean luxembourg, so don’t overlook it
    -if both sides of the plate have a blue strip, it’s either italy or france
    -if you see a blue marker on utility poles, you’re definitely in france
    -if it’s a balkan country and there are an absurd number of mercedes cars, you’re probably in albania
    -if it’s central asia but the plates are red, you’re in kyrgyzstan
    -on utility poles, black and yellow stripes that go all the way to the ground mean taiwan, if they don’t reach the ground it’s japan
    -if you see poles with an h sign, that’s germany, the h indicates a bus stop
    -if you’re stuck between germany and austria, check for the german sharp s. if you see sharp s, it’s germany. if not, austria
    -green license plates are either poland or norway (usually norway, used for electric vehicles)
    -if there are a ton of green tuk-tuks, you’re in bangladesh
    -if road signs use both cyrillic and latin alphabets at the same time, that’s kazakhstan
