WhereTaken US
Name the US state from the day's photo, then play the bonus rounds.
Every day: One photo a day, the same for everyone: name the US state it was taken in, with distance and direction after each miss, then play the bonus rounds about that state. New puzzle: Once a day; the site does not state the time.
WhereTaken US is Teuteuf's American version of WhereTaken. Each day it shows a photograph taken somewhere in the United States; you guess the state, with distance and direction to guide you, then answer bonus rounds about it, from its capital to its state flower.
About WhereTaken US
WhereTaken US takes Teuteuf's WhereTaken Classic and narrows it to the fifty states. Each day there is one photograph, the same for everyone: a street, a landscape, a building or a roadside view. You type the state you think it shows. A wrong answer tells you how far away the right state is, in miles or kilometres, which direction to look and a proximity percentage.
Once you have the state, bonus rounds follow, each with a couple of tries: find the capital on the map, pick out landmarks and a city, match the state's nickname, its official flower and its weather, and a fact about it. Getting them right fills a row of stars for the day.
There are difficulty levels in settings: Normal shows distance and direction, and harder levels take some of that away from the next day on. The game is free with ads; a Teuteuf account keeps your stats, and Teuteuf Premium removes ads and opens the archive.
It suits players who like Statele, Teuteuf's outline game for states, and want to learn what the states look like from the ground.
How to play WhereTaken US
- Open WhereTaken US and study the day's photo.
- Type the US state you think it was taken in.
- Use the distance, direction and percentage to choose your next guess.
- Once you have the state, play the bonus rounds: capital, landmarks, city, nickname, flower and weather.
Tips
- Vegetation and terrain narrow the region quickly: desert, prairie, forest or coast.
- Licence plates, road signs and shop names can give the state away.
- Learn the state flowers and nicknames from the bonus rounds; they come up again.
