This is getting very repetitive. I'm getting constant cycles of the US, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Russia, South Africa and Australia...

I don't like this game any more.
 
First game, got 12,346. Will have to give it another go. Kind of botched Australia up.

Scored 9898, the closest guess of mine was being just ~600km off in NSW, Australia.

11280 on the next one, got within 120km of two locations in Ireland.

11881...stupid Midway Islands that look like Florida's Keys with a bird infestation.

15910...guessing Botswanna and seeing Hebrew really helped my score.

12240 on my first go - seeing Cyrillic writing and having all of the Russian Federation to pick from :lol:.

Atlantis?

Did one last night and it dropped me right next to St Bees train station near Carlisle. I was facing the sign for it and still managed to miss by 20km. :dunce:
 
12999.

Botswana must look like Mexico...

Although getting one in Jedburgh helped my score tremendously.

linky.
 
I was completely caught out by one which consisted of a street with banners containing a picture of what looked like a Chinese politician plus Chinese-style writing and a large pagoda/temple (not the 60s Merc) in the distance. Turned out to be over 2000km away in Russia near the Black Sea.
 
I got Prypiat and a smiling man in one of mine!
 
Can't remember my highest overall score, but I once managed to get within 9 meters of the correct location due to it being in Finland and featuring several road signs showing distances to nearby towns, piece of cake. :D
 
Quite a challenge, especially if you're not good at all :lol: I was lucky I could pin-point one of the locations (0.035km away :grumpy:), other than that, ehhh... I didn't quite get any

To my defence, they were really vague.. I can't make a very good suggestion from a corner and some trees, though the australian one was, well, Outback-ish indeed :)
 
Love this game. My closest to the actual position was 7 metres away, without cheating. I have managed to get over 26,000 points in one round.
 
12793 points. I'm pretty useless at Geographical locations

Knowing and recognizing road signs, road striping, license plates, and the like helps a bunch.

The problem is that Canada and the US use similar markings, and if you're given a spot in the middle of nowhere (or a Minor Outlying Island in the Pacific), it can be daunting.

Seems there's some similarity between South Africa and Australia's road furniture, as well. I suppose those with more experience in actually driving those roads do better!

About D, it was Wolfsburg Stadium, so I just clicked where it said Wolfsburg, 1,2 km off
 
After getting the wrong continent on four out of five, I didn't bother trying again.

Random stretch of road through a lightly wooded area, could be anywhere, sheesh.

I had a game where I picked Australia twice, and it was South Africa both times.

In the same game, there was a snowy place, with huts and a Norwegian flag, so I thought, "Aha! That'll be Norway." Stuck my pin in the bottom half of Norway, only to be told I was 1100 miles away in Svalbard...
 
Has anyone had a location in Africa yet? It's the only continent I haven't had.

South Africa and (oddly) neighbouring Botswana came up several times when I played it earlier (in my lunch break

)
 
Ah OK, so they do exist then.

Not looking forward to the day in my life when I step outside my front door and this happens. Not long now... :scared:

If you need a depth gauge for a road you should probably find a different route! :lol:

:lol: Not the kind of car I would use, either.

I just got trolled, right away I see a boat in a dock with "Miami, FL" written on the back... It was in Italy.:grumpy:

It's NSFW!! You never know which strip of real estate you may find yourself lost in.

:lol: Pupik - you are sure applying a wealth of stealthy intelligence at this.

Great game, TB. Nice one again. 👍

I want to play, but . . . right now I have to---
 
Lol, wound up inside a museum in Japan, showing the interior of an older home. Of course, I stupidly thought it would be a museum in America.

Must stop overthinking...

I like how my best attempt has a score like that, while I was light-years off with both of the Russian locations. Then again, I was only about 6km from the right location in Portugal and 2km from one in Hungary. So it balanced out in the end.

I ended up in the courtyard of what turned out to be the Kazan Kremlin, which I assumed it was nearer Saint Petersburg than anywhere else. That threw me off somewhat.
 
Anyone want some Real Phony Mexican Art?:dopey:

Wasn't that far off on it either, guessed Cabo San Lucas, was in some town just north of it.

Also, there is a bridge in Japan with statues of naked chicks on it, that is all...

I got South Africa twice as well. Saw a bunch of cars that looked like British cars, so swung for the fence for it to be the UK. Nope. 6000 miles away.
