Thanks for the suggestion, I've changed it to 'open map' until the map is opened, then it changes to 'make guess'.

Already a feature! Press the camera icon in the top right and you can upload your own images.

Glad you enjoyed it! The issue with health bars not showing should be fixed now, thanks for letting me know. Landscape photos are always very difficult, I'm working on adding more images with better clues like language to make it a little easier. Guessing based on landscape alone is very hard but a single structure or village in the distance can make it much easier (and more fun).

I'm a developer working on a game similar to Geoguessr (street view location guessing game), but using images sourced from Wikimedia. The aim is to make it more fun by removing the meta clues in Geoguessr that people use to find locations, for example some players have memorized what street view cars or picture quality was used in certain places. For me, this ruins the fun of the game as it becomes less about knowledge of geography and more about memorizing useless information. So that's why I made Where.

You can try it out at: https://where.hurn.dev/

You can guess locations in single player, or play a duel with others. All images and hand-picked, and there are currently around 5000. I'm constantly adding new images every day, the goal is to have at least 100 thousand images for replayability. Occasionally some images that aren't good for guessing slip through the net, so please press the report button and i'll remove them.

Still very early stages so please let me know if you encounter any bugs!

I apologize if this post comes across as self-promotion. This game is completely free, just a side project that I would love to get people's opinions on. I gain nothing other than valuable feedback from people playing it.

If you do check it out, please let me know if you like it have have any feedback. Cheers!

My favorite ambient album. Anyone know of similar albums? So far I haven't found anything even remotely similar.

Anyone else not receiving the verification email? Doesn't seem to work for me.
