They give you a random location. You have to look around for clues as to where you are in the world and try to guess on the map where you are. It's addicting and fun and a good way to explore the world!

eta: So far I've learned that I don't know Australia when I'm looking at it.

Now I know what I'll be doing for awhile tonight! This is super fun!

my first round had 3 of the 5 in Australia :D! killed it

my best one earlier in the day was: You missed with 0.003 km which gave 3172 points.

3 metres! terrible, haha

oh also, one of them was totally inside (airport?): http://cl.ly/image/1N28381H0x1z

I got one that was obviously Tokyo, and then some totally anonymous stretch of country highway that could be anywhere in the US where there are straight roads and power lines.

Of course, I DO know it's the US, and I suspect the Pacific Northwest or California because of the trees, so maybe I'm not going to end up THAT far off. Let's see...

It was Minnesota. But still. There goes the next hour or so. Thanks. 8)

Not even fair!

They use Australia a lot! I kept getting it wrong and it was always Australia so after a while I just started clicking Australia as a joke and they were right!

Aww, crashes iPad. That looks fun. I'd love to see one with natural wonders/geologic features.

Haha I still got 3172 points for being 0.205 km off!

Game finished!
You got 13178 points in total.

lots of australia indeed. also, australia, brazil and south africa are so similar looking!

im so bad at this!

and yeah after 3 time getting australia, i just picked australia again... but it was the uk!

Yeah, I also got Australia three times. I got one in FL as well, and another in the States. It's hard! Apparently I am terrible at guessing locations!

forking Australia! Even when you know it's Australia and you pick the wrong part of the country, you're still like 2,000 kilometres off.

^haha yep, I knew one was in WA. I guessed around Geraldton, it was Broome. stupid huge state.

Ooooh fun! My first game final score was 11877. I got each country right but was off by a few hundred km for all of them.

How do you guys do this, I keep getting "trees and an empty street" and they just all look the same!

Just click anywhere in Australia! When in doubt, choose Australia.

I now thought Finland and Botswana were Australia...

I had one that looked just like Australia but with different road markings, so I figured it must be New Zealand.

haha dammit australia! it could easily have been southern california!

I always keep thinking it's Southern California only to find out it's Australia!

How could I keep confusing Alaska for Botswana?

oh god im terrible at this.

i got one exactly like you described and i thought it was somewhere in the US based on the roads, trees, and not super huge mountains and it was Finland.

not. even. close.

i was trying to zoom in on the road signs but i kept passing them

I get so excited when I get the country right. Brazil, yes! Thailand, yes!! Even though its always still so far away. I mean "great, so this is russia but man, that is a huge country."

yeah that would be more fun than empty street with trees and power lines.
at least for those of us who are less awesome at this game!
