## What is GeoGuess.com?

GeoGuess is the original community-powered geography game: real photos sent in by real travelers since 2011, no ads and no trackers. Look at a photo, drop a pin on the map and see how close you were.

Every scene comes from a real explorer, so no two rounds are the same, and you learn something about the world every time.

WAYS TO PLAY
- Classic: five rounds, no timer, points for distance.
- Play by region: practice on one continent or country at a time.
- Survival: guess well to keep your lives and climb as far as you can.
- Daily Challenge: one photo a day for everyone, a streak to protect, and a note you can leave for the next player.
- The Cup: a ten day competition, three sets of five photos, every guess sealed until the cup closes.
- Head to head: ranked 1v1 duels with tiers and their own leaderboard.
- Party: live rooms with friends, join by code, with Knockout for a free-for-all.
- Community games: photo sets made by other players, or build your own.

CLIMB AND COLLECT
- Weekly and season leaderboards, national teams, and a friends filter to see who is ahead.
- XP, levels, badges and trophies, plus a day by day activity chart on your profile.
- Streaks with freezes, so one busy day does not cost you everything.
- Coins to spend on frames, nameplates, banners and Lettering for your name.

PLAY WITH FRIENDS
- Follow people, share a puzzle-style result block, and invite your friends.

YOUR PHOTOS
- Upload your own travel photos and watch the world guess them.

### 2/5 — Great idea, mediocre execution

*2015-04-27*

I love the idea of the game but it has several major bugs.  Worst of all, it sometimes doesn't accept the correct answers.  And the fact that there is no way to blow up the pictures to a more visible size makes the game almost impossible in some cases.

### 1/5 — Do not want

*2014-05-04*

Why can't I just use your app without giving you my email address? New record for shortest amount of time an app stayed on my phone.

### 5/5 — Cool

*2014-01-08*

That's a cool app and even a greater idea! I'm enjoying this!! :) let's support this app!!!5*

### 1/5 — Not working with new update

*2013-09-05*

I've been anxiously awaiting an update for this app because the game has a lot of potential, I can just never get it to work properly. On the previous version I had the same 10 pictures over and over and over again. Some of the pictures (a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge, for instance) told me it was NOT taken in San Francisco. That's annoying. Now, with the new update... I don't see a single freaking picture. I've reinstalled the app, but nothing I do can get it to work. You hear that, GeoGuess? Your app that people guess where pictures are taken DOES NOT SHOW ANY PICTURES! Fix this immediately.

### 4/5 — Great Fun

*2013-06-04, version 1.1*

The more pictures are submitted the more fun this will be.

### 1/5 — Error trying to sign up...

*2013-06-02, version 1.1*

😟

### 1/5 — Bug test before release guys come on

*2013-05-27*

This app is completely pointless as it doesn't work, you can log in once downloaded. And the game is pretty good but so much could have been done with the concept if it was done by a capable developer...

### 1/5 — Incomplete

*2013-05-23*

It's like the developers started building a game to take advantage of the hype of GeoGuessr and then said "Meh, this is too much work. But let's publish it anyway, even though it doesn't even function."

### 4/5 — A good challenge

*2013-05-19, version 1.1*

Overall an enjoyable app. Disappointing to see the same images being repeated frequently (especially images you have already guessed correctly) but the option for user submission means this could be limitless fun!

### 1/5 — cant rate a game that dont work

*2013-05-19*

i can not get past the login screen. seems to me like thats a major problem.
