World Google Street View Country Streak Challenge (Premium Only)
DirectionsYou will be presented with a random google street view image in a locality somewhere in the world where google street view has coverage. Name the country you are in within 2 minutes, trying to obtain the longest consecutive streak of countries. If you name an incorrect country the game will end. You must type in a ‘.’ after the country name (some abbreviations such as US and UK accepted) for the answer to register. If you guess an incorrect country (not including countries that have no street view coverage and therefore are not in this quiz), the game will end and your score will be saved. You can then type ‘start’ to restart the quiz.
Please note – this quiz is only available to hugequiz Premium members, as it costs money for me to use the street view API and this quiz is more costly than the other street view ones.
Here is a list of accepted answers that currently have street view coverage (and wrong answers that will trigger the quiz ending):
unitedstates, germany, brazil, japan, russia, mexico, unitedkingdom, philippines, turkey, italy, spain, france, argentina, canada, colombia, malaysia, netherlands, indonesia, ukraine, bangladesh, poland, southkorea, vietnam, nigeria, thailand, southafrica, chile, peru, romania, tunisia, uganda, israel, taiwan, australia, guatemala, ghana, jordan, kenya, belarus, ecuador, belgium, finland, sweden, greece, hungary, norway, srilanka, bolivia, bulgaria, czechrepublic, dominicanrepublic, madagascar, portugal, serbia, senegal, palestine, newzealand, denmark, slovakia, switzerland, austria, uruguay, croatia, albania, cambodia, unitedarabemirates, botswana, estonia, bermuda, eswatini, ireland, latvia, andorra, iceland, luxembourg, singapore, lesotho, montenegro, slovenia, lithuania, macedonia, laos, kyrgyzstan
I just got 3 hundred and then decided to stop because I feared it would keep going but it didn’t record my score lol
Yeah you need to get one wrong for it to end and save.
it wont record my score
hmm i just tested it and it took my score. i’ll see if i can see anything wrong.
I lost while on a ski slope in Andorra. I didn’t even know Andorra had a ski slope.
That’s actually a useful meta for Andorra. For some reason there’s a lot of ski slope official coverage in Andorra. Weird but fun nonetheless
Could do with a little update to add Türkiye/Turkiye as acceptable answers for Turkey
added Germany to this as it finally has street view.
Hi, very fun quiz 🙂 I seem to be getting a bug when i don’t enter a country before the time runs out. The timer just resets for me, but i think entering a country no longer works (not completely sure). Entering start does not start a new game.
yes you must enter a country before the 2 minutes are up otherwise the quiz ends. and i tried it and typing start afterwards did reset the quiz.
the quiz doesn’t end if you type an incorrect country
it won’t end if the incorrect country you type isn’t a street view country, per directions
here’s an upload of me playing this – some tips on finding out countries quickly…

this is definitely a game that requires practice – as you get more used to the set of countries that appear (and the ones google doesn’t have street view coverage for), you will notice them faster and faster.
Hi Darin, great idea, but I think some of these are pretty near impossible in 60 seconds.
In terms of bugs, I don’t know that any of these are worth fixing, but I’ve noticed that sometimes entering the wrong answer stops the game, other times it does nothing and I can try again.
The way that the clock resets but the image doesn’t go away after 60 seconds is a bit annoying — I’ll be so proud to have found the clue I need and then see that the clock ran out and the answer’s been sitting there.
The restart feature is diabolic, in a brilliant way. Part of me would love to see it work for more games, and part of me says that it’s better for my productivity if I can’t just type “start” to play another round.
Cheers!
per the directions, entering a country that Google doesn’t even have street view for will not end the quiz, it only ends if you try an acceptable answer and are wrong. I’ve tried this quiz a number of times and it has worked out for me. once you play it a bit you kinda learn features of countries and how to guess them directly, such as looking for flags, where the sun is, what side of the road driving is on, and sign languages.
