Soak up summer around the world

Beaches, festivals, long evenings, and green fields. Guess where in the world summer was photographed. Five photos make a game.

About Summer

Summer brings people outside, so the photos are full of life: terraces, beaches, markets, and open windows.

Look at how strong the sun is and how green or dry the land has become, both tell you about the climate.

Clues to Look For

Dry or green

Golden grass and dusty hills point to dry summers, lush green to wet ones.

Beach life

Umbrellas, beach huts, and the colour of the sand belong to particular coasts.

Long days

Bright light late in the evening suggests the far north.

How It Works

  1. 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.

  2. Drop your pin

    Place your guess on the world map. Zoom in as far as you like, the closer your pin, the better.

  3. 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.

FAQ

Can I play Summer for free?

Yes. Try a game of Summer with no account. With a free account you can play as much as you like and with your friends.

How are the points calculated?

Your points depend on the distance between your pin and the place the photo was taken. A pin right on the spot earns the most, and the further away you are, the fewer points you get.
