You get placed in a random spot in the world in Google Earth/Maps, and you have to figure out where you are by walking around in Street View. It can sometimes be difficult to even pick the right continent, and you get points for how close your guess is to the actual location.

What's your best guess?

18,587 km [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Was sure it was the Scottish Highlands, not New Zealand. Possibly the worst guess ever in terms of distance [emoji16]

Scored 9500 from the first two guesses then it all went a bit weird and told me I was 5500 miles out on my 3rd guess. I was playing the uk version!

Depends on your patience and how long you want to spend Googling Road and shop names. I’m sure I remember this from a few years ago?

I used to play this a lot. Best educated guess got me about 3km from the right place. Best lucky landing was Hurstpierpoint high Street, about 50m from where my mum used to live.
