I never played the first GeoGuesser, so I don’t know what the other reviewers are complaining about, but this game is rad and admittedly a lot more entertaining than I thought it’d be! It’s a great time killer that not only challenges your geographical knowledge, but also challenges your perspective on what other countries are actually like beyond our own ingrained stereotypes. Awesome idea, and very well executed! I’ll be playing this for a long time :)

Ok so first things first, this is a knockoff of the game GeoGuessr. This game doesn’t connect to that site or leaderboards. So before you pay up, be aware. Secondly, I’m on my 3rd day of play. I have been given the same locations so many times that I basically have half the game memorized. There is one image in downtown DC that I have gotten at least 4 times. I don’t even have to look at the street signs to find the location, I just know now. Which is too bad. If you think it’s truly giving you random locations out of the billions of images it has in street view, you are wrong. It’s a collection of certain ones they have for this game. Which begs the questions why if they are cherry picking the images, do they have so many crappy ones as well. There are a few images that are so blurred you cant see anything.

I downloaded the new version because the Classic version stopped working. I relied on the compass and the flag in the Classic version to get back to where I started from. Those are both missing in this version so it’s not obvious how you figure out where you are - especially after you travel for a while to find clues. I will go back to the Classic version as soon as I figure out how to get it working again.Update: Much better now with the compass and flag restored, but why combine them? I upgraded my review to reflect how much better it is, but I still prefer the original version.

I downloaded the first version and quickly became hooked, but the subscription to unlock unlimited play is a bit much. Thankfully I discovered this before my free trial was over. This game is just like the original but unlocked, unlimited play is much more affordable. I only have one complaint, and I am not even sure if it is fixable. Most of the time, the locations I am given to guess are rural locations with no nearby clues as to where the location is. This is only a minor annoyance though, as long as I am able to play a few recognizable locations.
