Walk the street
Street View and city videos let you move, or watch someone move. A sign further down the road, the traffic, and the sound of the place are all fair clues.
Three Kinds of Clue
Read one photograph
You get a single frame. Plants, roofs, script, and the light have to be enough, and the photo can come from somewhere a mapping car never went.
Quiz the map
No picture at all. You name a country from its outline, trace a route across borders, or click the right place on a blank map.
Street-Level Games
You can move, or you watch someone move. The extra time to look around is the whole point.
Street View
GeoGuessr
The best known of the street-level games. You drop into a Google Street View panorama, look around, walk the road, and place a pin. Your score is how close that pin is. It is also the competitive one: duels, larger multiplayer rounds, a daily challenge, and maps made by other players. Play it when you want to move through a place instead of studying one frame.
Street View, free to play
WorldGuessr
Street View you can play for free, with no account. Look around, drop a pin, and score by how close you are. Singleplayer rounds are unlimited, there is a daily challenge, and you can join a duel. Community maps are free to play and free to make, and the source code is public.
City video
City Guesser
A video of a walk through a real city, then a guess. Moving traffic, shop signs, and the sound of the street give you clues a still photo cannot. You can limit the round to a region, such as Europe or the United States, chase a streak, or turn moving and the clock off for a harder round.
Street View with friends
Geotastic
Street-level guessing built for a group. Share a room, pick a map, and drop pins on the same round. It is the straightforward way to play a Street View game together in the browser.
Photograph Games
One frame. The place has to be in the picture.
Photograph, plus two more games
MediaGuesser
One real photograph, and that is the whole clue. You read the signs, the plants, the buildings, and the light, then drop a pin. The pictures are taken by people, so they include markets, festivals, mountain tops, and countries a mapping car rarely covers. Play the whole world or narrow it to a country, a city, or a theme. The same site also has a treasure hunt on a real map, a price guessing game for real listings, and a daily Human vs AI round.
Try it out
Daily Puzzles and Map Quizzes
A new puzzle each day, or a map you click until the names stick.
Daily country outline
Worldle
One country outline a day, and six guesses. Each miss tells you the distance, the direction, and how close you were. After the country, bonus rounds ask for neighbors, the capital, and the flag. It is short, free, and the same puzzle for everyone that day, which makes it easy to compare with friends.
Daily border route
Travle
You are given two places and you name the countries that connect them, border by border. There is a daily route, a weekly challenge, and practice maps, including cities and US states. It rewards knowing who shares a border, which is a different skill from spotting a street.
Daily country on a map
Globle
Name countries until you find the one of the day. Each guess is painted on the map by how close it was, so the colors are the hint. One puzzle, then you wait for tomorrow. A good pick when you want the map itself to teach you where countries sit.
Map quiz
Seterra
Click the country, the capital, or the flag on a blank map. Hundreds of quizzes, in many languages, used in classrooms since the 1990s. It is a clear way to learn where things are, as fast as you can point, with a score you can try to beat.

FAQ
What is a geo guessing game?
A game that hides a real place and asks you to find it. The clue might be a street you can walk, a photograph, a country outline, or a chain of borders. Your answer is a pin, a name, or a click on the map.
How is a photo game different from Street View?
In Street View you can move and look around, so you can go and find a sign. A photo game shows one frame. That is usually harder, and the photo can be from a place a mapping car never drove. The photo location game on MediaGuesser is that kind.
Which game should I start with?
GeoGuessr, if you want to walk a street. Worldle, if you want one short puzzle a day. MediaGuesser, if you want a photograph and a short account of the place after you guess. Seterra, if you want to drill names on a map.
Can I play MediaGuesser for free?
Yes. Try a solo round of any mode with no account. A free account lets you keep playing, filter by place, and play with friends.
Do I need to know every country first?
Street signs, plants, and roof styles carry a lot of a photo round, and the daily puzzles teach the map while you play. A close miss is most of the fun.
