GeoGuessr

GeoGuessr is a browser-based geography game in which players are tasked to guess locations from Google Street View imagery. The game features multiple game modes, including singleplayer and multiplayer competitions. Launched in 2013 by Anton Wallén, the game maintained a relatively small yet active player base until 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic and social media brought a large influx of new players. Since February 2024 the game has required a subscription to play. The game has been described as an educational tool for geography: players can learn and identify global geographical and cultural characteristics such as writing systems, architecture, left- and right-hand traffic, flags, vehicle registration plates, landscapes, and flora.
