How It Works
Look closely
Every round shows a real photograph from somewhere on the planet. Signs, plants, architecture, cars, and even the light can give the place away.
Drop your pin
Place your guess on the world map. Zoom in as far as you like, the closer your pin, the better.
Score and discover
See where the photo was really taken, how far off you were, and what makes the place special. Five photos make a game.
