Where was this photo taken?
Map Guess shows visitors a photo and asks where it was taken. They drop a pin on the map, and the closer they get, the more points they score. Use the built-in world map, or a map of your own - a town map, a venue or office floor plan, a campus, even a fantasy map. The best scores top the leaderboard.
What Map Guess does for you
A world map, built in
Pin anywhere on Earth, measured round the globe in kilometres or miles. No map service, no account, no key.
Or your own map
Upload any map picture and set its scale from its scale bar. Distances come out in metres, kilometres or miles.
Rounds of photos
Each go draws a few photos at random from the game's photos, so a big pool keeps it fresh.
Points for being close
Up to 1,000 a photo. You set the distance for full points and the distance for none.
A reveal every round
The player's pin, the right answer, how far away it was, the points, and your note.
Mouse, touch or keys
Drag and pinch to pan and zoom, or use the keyboard to move a cross and drop the pin.
