US Google Street View Challenge (Large Cities)
DirectionsYou will be given a Google Street View window randomly placed near the center of one of the 100 largest US cities in which you can move around in. Name the US city where you are located within two minutes. The faster you answer, the more points you get. Max points is 100 for guessing in 10 seconds or less.
Hands down the most fun quiz ever!
I’m learning that an awful lot of cities have streets named ‘Chestnut.’
I’m amazed by the high scores, I’m a terrible guesser! But this quiz is a ton of fun and I’m enjoying a lot anyway.
I’ve done just one of these and while I’m sure there are some issues to work out – can’t think of them yet – this is a lot of fun. Great job Darin!
I guess the best idea I’ve come up with is like…similar to how you have so many different geography quizzes that can be broken out into different types/versions, it’d be fun to do something like this broken down by state, or by region, etc
Okay, so I may need a version where I can get *a bit* more time ha. Again, tons of fun, but man 2 minutes can seem difficult (at least for me)
This is crazy fun. Great idea. You have to use a lot of different bases of knowledge.
I can’t take total credit…I had fun playing Geoguessr (geoguessr.com) and thought of this as an alternative.
Note to game: When you’re trying to make it hard for us, DON’T DROP SOMEONE RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING.
Man … I think this is one of those that’s a great idea on paper but just too hard in reality.
Well it’s not exactly a summer vacation but I guess it will have to do. I even got stuck in a fishing boat in New Orleans somehow!
ha…yeah occasionally you may get a street view stuck in a single place, I can’t control that but it should be very rare. you shouldn’t get any indoor locations though.
I did actually get the inside of a building in Washington DC
well, maybe a Google street view issue coding it as outdoor – the code should eliminate indoor ones but that may be a rare fluke.
interesting idea!
a quiz similar to GeoGuessr here – let me know your feedback – will do World/Europe/etc versions of this if it is popular.
