    Addictive little game of guessing where in the world you are from Google Streetview images. Some are tougher than others, and it certainly helps when you can see a nearby street sign. I've had a few occasions where I was pretty sure, then found out I was half a world away. :lol:

    This is fun but some are REALLY hard. I've gotten a few that were just roads surrounded by trees and land. Could literally be anywhere.

    I picked Russia for one and it wound up being South Dakota lol.

    I am very not good at this. There needs to be strictly a 'Merica version.

    No, that's the only way to get a decent score I think. First time I tried it I didn't even realise you were allowed to move along a road! Turning in circles and taking complete stabs in the dark about where I was wasn't getting me very far, unsurprisingly.

    Those are the one I just end up totally guessing, 5 minutes of clicking along a country road with not a sign in sight and only trees to be seen made them almost impossible. I kept on thinking "there must be a sign/clue around the next corner" :lol:

    surprised by the amount of people here that haven't used google street view (or know how to use it). That is how I go on vacation!!

    I've used it, I just didn't realise at first that the game also allowed you to move along the road, thought it was just a static screen-capture of Streetview until I clicked on a direction arrow!
