LandmarkGuessr

LandmarkGuessr is an independent browser game about famous places. Its daily challenge shows five photographs of real monuments, one per round, and asks you to find each on a world map. The photo starts as a detail at the Normal level, so a round might open on a wall of fitted stones or the corner of a roof rather than the whole building.

You zoom and drag the map, place a pin, move it if you change your mind, and confirm. Each round is worth up to 1,000 points: a pin within 25 km of the landmark's reference point earns all of them, and the score falls off gradually with distance after that. Two hints are offered with their cost shown first: revealing the full photo caps the round at 850 points, and revealing the continent caps it at 700. There is no time penalty, so you can take as long as you like.

After each round the game shows the correct spot, your distance and a short story about the place, with a link to a guide on the monument. The collection started with 60 landmarks in 12 countries, and the site also has country pages and guides on telling lookalike landmarks apart.

The daily series changes at midnight UTC. Its five landmarks are drawn by the date from the same bank of 60, spread across continents, so a regular player meets the same places again within a week or two. Your first finished daily game on a device is the one that counts; playing again is practice. Outside the daily there is a practice mode by country, continent or monument type at Easy, Normal or Hard photo levels, and friend challenges that give everyone the same five landmarks and a shared ranking for 24 hours. It suits players who like GeoGuessr-style pinning but prefer a short, calm game about well known places rather than anonymous roads.
