So we made a daily game to show you a set of your own photos and you have to guess where in the world they were taken. You get one life per day and three rounds to play, each round with one photo. WHERE WAS THIS TAKEN? We show you a photo from your camera roll, you have to guess where it was taken. Forgot? You have one life or the game is over. Lives reset the next day. FIND IT ON THE MAP Zoom into the correct location on the map. Tap the map to place a pin. If your pin is close enough to the actual location, you win and can play more rounds. COLLECT YOUR WINS Every time you guess a photo correctly, it gets displayed on your globe for you to view when you're out of lives or rounds for the day.
