TravelGuessr

TravelGuessr is a free daily geography game built around real travel photography rather than street-level panoramas. Each day there are four rounds, each with one hand-picked photo of a place somewhere in the world, chosen to be fair but full of clues.

It is made by Avionista AB, a small independent studio that also makes the word games Thirdle and Swapdle. No account or install is needed, and the game can be played in more than twenty languages, from Arabic to Vietnamese.

In each round you zoom into the photo and pan around, looking at architecture, landscape, light and small details such as signs. When you are ready you choose Show Map and Guess. Instead of a flat map you get a globe you can spin and zoom right down to street level, and you drop your pin where you think the photo was taken. Points depend on distance, up to 5000 per round.

Everyone plays the same four locations, so scores can be compared with friends. After the fourth round you see where you placed among all players, the pins other players dropped for each place and their average score per round. A daily streak, kept on your own device, rewards coming back. It suits travellers and fans of photo-based geography games who want a short daily round rather than an endless feed.
