GeoGuessr Wiki

GeoGuessr is a fun and addicting game that makes you want to learn. I have learned more than any other game with GeoGuessr. It’s simplistic design makes it easy to navigate. It’s easy to learn but hard to master, making it a game that’s you’ll never get tired of. You can unlock more maps over time and having higher skill gives you higher reward to get the new maps. The only problem is that some of the maps are very low quality. That happens a very low portion of the time because the maps are constantly being updated with Google Streetview. I recommend this to anyone and everyone because its a fun and engaging game.

I’ve been a long time player of this game and it is my absolute favorite game. However when I created my account on the web browser version, I signed in using Google or Facebook (I can’t remember which lol). But recently I paid for a pro account after the free version change. It is totally worth the money but I can’t sync my maps to my phone because I can’t sign in using the alternate options. Is there a way around this? The mobile version is still amazing otherwise!

Seriously I never realized how much of the world is bare blank empty roads lined with various shades of green and brown. So yeah you can tap for a looong time before you find a clue. But once you get that little bit of information- a language, a highway number, a road sign- then it gets addicting. If you land in rural Russia and don’t read the language then yeah you’re done for. There a tendency to repeat certain places a lot... Russia, Canada, Brazil... it’s almost as if they’re enormous countries or something. But one time the game put me in a small Canadian town in front of a building with a Canadian flag and a map of the town! Ya just never know. One thing I would like is some indication of how far you’ve traveled from your previous location. After tapping my way through Alaskan wilderness for awhile Ive likely lost track of distance and have no idea where I am in relation to the original drop point.

More variety in locations is needed. When playing the "World" map, you end up in a Scandinavian country (often Sweden), Brazil, or Russia with disproportionate frequency. I have lost count of the number of times I have been in Brazil. The same is true for the "Major Cities" map, just add Tokyo and some city in Mexico to the mix. I have not played the other maps, so I do not know how they compare. Location issues aside, I really enjoy the game. It is fun to see different places around the world and decipher where you are from clues such as road signs, website addresses, languages on signs. Overall I recommend getting this game. It is even worth spending a few dollars to play additional maps.

Great game but a few glitches take the fun out. First, many times it won’t let me move around at all so it’s very hard to figure out where I am. Don’t drop us at a place where the map won’t advance us please. Also, sometimes it accidentally marks a spot as my final answer and ruins the game for me like tonight you dropped me on a bridge and it wouldn’t let me move but I was planning to guess and I opened the map and it marked a spot for me then told me I was wrong and my guess was actually right so I got mad...grrrr, lol. My only other complaint is it tends to choose the same location a lot. I’ve been dropped off at the Louvre at least 7 times now. But I still love this game 😊

This game feels like a game I will be playing the rest of my life. It’s super addictive, but only because you start to get good at recognizing different places. It has even caused me to start analyzing roadsides in movies and TV shows! My only reason for 4 stars is that sometimes there is a block of blurred images or blackness which persists in the same part of the field of view and never resolves, even when I move to different places on the map or . I’m not talking about the google maps blurring, which stay with the objects. You can’t force quit the app and then resume a game, so I don’t know how to get rid of it.

The Battle Royale is decent. Would love to be able to continue moving around the map after I guessed correctly though. Being able to see the list of players still in the game would be nice too. Right now you can only see the number of players able to make it into the next round. I get bugs where I am unable to start the game. I get stuck in the lobby with other players and the countdown freezes at 0 and I’m forced to back out and find another game. Even if I do make it into a game, sometimes it’ll bug out and not allow me to make a guess and the timer bar would keep draining, and no ones guesses appear on the screen either. Still miss the single player mode. I know you guys are planning to add it and more modes, but it would have been nice to have kept it in.

This game used to be a lot of fun that I would play for years where you could pass some time by being able to play unlimited games for free and unlocking specific geographical areas after collecting a certain amount of points. Unfortunately, I’m going to have downgrade my rating of the recent update of this app two stars. The main reason is because you only get three unpaid games per mode you want to play but if you want to unlock the full version of the new update, you have to pay a fixed monthly fee of three dollars per month. I would understand if the game implemented a one time fee, but I really don’t think it is worth paying a monthly fee for a simple geographical guessing game. If you religiously play this game every day, then maybe the $3.00 per month might be worth it, but for someone just looking to pass some time every now and then, I really don’t think the payment is worth it.

hi uh i loved this game so much i played it with family everyday but then after the update you only got 2 free games to play and that is horrible and i’m not going to pay money because i loved it and wanted to play it for fun and FREE. To play the pass and play where you can play with people you know on the same platform where you each get random places and you get to choose where to play with friends and family and it was fun but now you guys removed it and made it that you had to PAY to play and i’m not going to do that all i want is for it to be free and so you don’t have to pay to play unlimited which is what you could of done before for FREE and you used to have the pass and play mode. So this update lost the love for the game.

Unfinished games doesn’t work. Puts you back at location 1/5 even though it says 2/5 or 3/5 in the top corner. Then if you guess the location of 1/5 it will still think you are at the one you should be at. This happened twice in one game. 1st location i got right it was new zealand. 2nd and 3rd i got right as well. 4th I knew was somewhere in washington but then I had to go do something so i took a break. I come back, hit unfinished games and there I am in new zealand again - same location as map 1 - and I can move freely around, yet it says map 4/5. I guessed new zealand but then it says im actually in washington US like I initially thought, thousands of miles away. 0 points for that one. Next map is somewhere in Asia. I move around a bit then I have to go do something again. I come back, hit unfinished games and im in that same spot in new zealand yet again. So I guess south korea because I learned from my mistake (apparently didnt learn enough though because the same bug happened twice) and it says i was in tokyo, got like 2000 points because i had to rely on the small amount of info i gathered before i had to take a break.

This was an incredible game at first, although the options of gameplay were limited. Of course, even though it’s understandable that they’d need money to have this running without ads, it’s easy to just have microtransactions in the background for new powers or features that you can buy. Many games have been ruined when the developers decided that in order to keep it running, the players need a subscription. Subscriptions are the WORST form of purchases that can be available for a game that is free to play originally. A one-time pass is good to have in the background, but it shouldn’t be a subscription, because those are just terrible ways that developers show how greedy they are. You guys ruined this game and while I did originally have fun, it’s been ruined by your new decision. Even if you revert things it’s likely many people won’t come back, as they’re likely playing one of those free-to-play ripoffs of this that are almost identical to yours.

I used to love this app before the update and would have given it 5 stars. I unlocked 7 different maps and it was a ton of fun. Now with this update it has removed all of the maps I have unlocked and has given you only 2 options, battle royale (or battle bull**** as I call it) and the whole world. No more major cities, or regions I was interested in getting into. I spent many hours unlocking those maps. Beyond that, now you can only had 3 games a day without pouring out money in a subscription plan. Absolutely ridiculous. At least if you want to make money, just show an add every 3 rounds if you want. This is greed by the developers trying to railroad you into paying for their dumb subscription. If there was a way to revert to the old version I would. Until something changes I am going to tell everyone I know to stay away. Disappointing GeoGuessr, very disappointing.

Me and my mom love playing this game together on our phones. We’re not very geographically savvy so this game is really just a way for us to pass the time and learn a thing or two. However, this update completely ruined that for us. The single player mode was completely replaced with battle royale mode which is something me and my mother are not interested in at all, we just want to explore and have fun, not compete against others. Additionally you have to now pay to play on a phone, which is fine with us, but not if it’s just a mode we don’t want to play. I’m not sure why they completely replaced the app version instead of putting both modes up and letting the user lock what they want to do. We will both be deleting this app and finding a new one that is as similar to geoguessers single player mode.

An interesting idea, this is a moderately addictive game. It’s only marred by user interface problems, and the fact that it will occasionally crash when running in the background and cause me to lose hours of work. It desperately needs either a rework of the user interface, or pop-up confirmation dialogs for the return to initial location button and the green button in the lower right. Also, It would be nice to have it save games so that you could at least to recover a little of what you’ve done after it crashes. It would also be nice if you could control movement with a single tap instead of a double tap. Edit: deleted game after the third time I got to picking the location on the last round and it exited the game and I lost all my progress. It seriously needs an “Are you sure?” function.
