Has anyone had a location in Africa yet? It's the only continent I haven't had.

I was just placed dead center on the top of a dam in Lesotho.

And then dead center of Red Square.

Jeez, this is like Sliders... or Quantum Leap!

 

[TB]

Oh, boy.

 

[Pupik]

...or Quantum Leap!

Then try -

I was placed in Poland and on the road there was a dead cat

My first game. I sort of assumed that any barren land was Australia. It really helps if there are signs or vehicles too.

 

[terminator363]

Holy Crap I was off by 0.001 Km! The game placed me in this part of Nurnberg I've been to!

8794, 8614, then 11028 on my third try. I got one under the sea, quite a few on a highway in middle of nowhere, which ended up in Australia or Africa.

I'm gonna play this game again. 👍

Lol, wound up inside a museum in Japan, showing the interior of an older home. Of course, I stupidly thought it would be a museum in America.

Must stop overthinking...

i got a picture of one of these houses.

I thought german, but no the house was in pennsylvania.

Almost 20k points...

There is something to homecourt advantage in this game. Best score I got(it was something like 3400 points) was in my home state(Oregon). All I could see was dirt in the air completely blocking the view with the exception of trees.

Awesome! 👍

So no moving from the original spot.

Score is.

I got lucky on one, because I'd driven on the road before, and recognized the scenery. Thanks, Arkansas!

 

[photonrider]

Tried it for the first time. Guess I got lucky; not a long walk, maybe a short swim with sharks in between.

 

[kikie]

8466 without moving at all, just guessing. Not easy if you never, ever leave your own country. (that's actually a lie)

Don't think I did so bad, since a couple of them featured no vehicles or buildings.

 

[BobK]

I tried it a couple times, more often than not I didn't even hit the right continent.

 

[Jimlaad43]

My closest was 0.001m, but I did search for clues and opened maps BUT DIDN'T USE STREET VIEW, as that is too far.
My closest without cheating, but moving around is 0.004m.
My closest by staying in the same spot is 0.007m.

Basically, I'm very good at it, but I can still mislabel Australia as Brazil.

 

[Anathema]

10229 my best so far.

Worst was... ~2500.

 

[kikie]

10,728 Highest score so far.

 

[photonrider]

10,728 Highest score so far.

Reminder to self:
Never get lost with kikie.

 

[kikie]

14,469 but I have to honest, I cheated a little bit. It's part of the challenge to find out where you are

 

[Sage Ages]

10,305

 

[TB]

No panning, zooming, rotating or moving of any kind - 13,245.

I got lucky on a couple of them, though.

 

[kikie]

Luck is all you need in life in this game.

 

[Jimlaad43]

19944
Proof: http://bit.ly/17Y5K2h (Not a Wham! link)
I also got 17917, with one place 0.003km away (Finland), and another 0.002km away (South Africa)!

First image I get I guess the start line for the old track at Pescara (using the Famine method), and somehow get within a couple of hundred metres. Second time I guess Ouninpohja and it tells me I'm on the wrong side of the world...

You win some you lose some, I guess...

 

[photonrider]

The wrong side of the world is where you want to be; the trick is to get as far as possible from where you have to be.
No?

See how lucky I got:





A few more clicks and I would have started heading in the other direction and ended up where I was supposed to be.
