GuessPoint – Guess the Place on Street View Look at the street, read the clues, pin your guess on the map. GuessPoint drops you at a random Street View location and asks one question: where are you? The closer your guess, the more points you score. NEW: PLAY WITH FRIENDS Create a room, pick a map and game mode, and share the code or invite link: up to 20 players compete in the same room. Everyone plays the same 3 locations. Once the room starts, you have 24 hours and everyone plays at their own pace, so nobody needs to be online at the same time. When you finish, see the room ranking and everyone's guesses on each round's map. You get notified when the room starts, when time is running out and when the results are in. TIMED MODE Finish each round in 40, 20 or 10 seconds. The clock runs for the whole round, guess included, and the shorter it is, the bigger your score multiplier (×1.25, ×1.5, ×2). Start with a 3-2-1 countdown and feel the pressure in the last seconds. CLEAN DESIGN A clean, dark interface. See your score, distance and stars after every round, and a round-by-round summary at the end. Beat your best and a record badge celebrates it. 93 MAPS • World: Random locations from all over the globe, the ultimate challenge. • Türkiye: Random locations across the country, with optional villages and rural roads. • All 81 provinces of Türkiye, each as its own map.

About

Turkish is agglutinative: göz (eye), gözlük (glasses), gözlükçü (optician), gözlükçülük (the optician's trade). Köken turns that chain into a game. Everyone gets the same three roots each day. Add letters to reach a new word and a branch grows out of the root on screen. Continue from the tip, or branch anywhere you like — gözlük leads to both gözlükçü and gözlüklü. What you have at the end of the day isn't a scoreboard, it's that day's tree. The rule is prefix-chaining, not morphology: a word is a valid extension if it's in the dictionary and starts with the previous one. So "kar" to "kart" counts too. This isn't a grammar lesson, it's the pleasure of finding out. Depth scores, not length. The fourth link in a chain is worth four times. Four short words are worth less than one four-link chain. Find every word on a root and the tree turns gold. No timer. No energy. No lives. As you type, the branch tip trembles to tell you whether a word exists in that direction. At the end of the day it tells you "you found 23 of 41" — it doesn't hide what you missed. Every completed day is planted in your garden. The garden scrolls, its season follows the real one, and morning light differs from evening light. Each word you find shows a one-line meaning. The dictionary works offline.
