GeoGuessr

GeoGuessr is a geography game in which players try to deduce locations from Google Street View imagery. The game includes various modes, such as single-player and multiplayer. The game has been described as an educational tool for geography, allowing players to learn and identify various global geographical and cultural characteristics. These include writing systems, architecture, left- and right-hand traffic, flags, vehicle registration plates, landscapes and vegetation. This educational aspect enhances players' understanding of different cultures and regions around the world. Although initially seen as a novelty game, a competitive scene dedicated to precise high-level play arose, culminating in the GeoGuessr World Championship, which was first held in 2023 and has been held annually since, with increasing prize pools.
