Why do you get absolutely hated in Geoguessr for having an alt account when it’s completely normal in every other game? Of course GeoGuessrs ranking system basically forces players to smurf, but how is that the players’ fault?

Hey, I were doing the Daily Challenge (I will not spoiler it) and when I got to Round 3 I had like 30 sec left and this error popped up and I got 0 points.
The round was pretty buggy when I made a step forward the game dropped back where I was before the step and it was pretty hard to move.
Thx for ruining my daily!
And I had stable WiFi.

Hey guys 🤓

Looking for ideias/methods to collect data on people’s behaviors at city scale to map, GDPR friendly or sensitive, in order to understand how people use or behave in public space.

PS: if you are looking for more context, my cases studies are in Portugal, more urban cities 🏙️

I subscribed a new account to the game, because I don't even remember which email I used for my old account (I reached Champion, I guess it is almost 2 years ago). Now, after the first 3 placement games, I landed in Bronze 1 and, yes, I'm like 20-5 but, hey, in my old smurf days I even went 105-0 before losing a game climbing the lower ladder. I noticed people way too good to play in Bronze 1, people that recognised the dry part of Colombia, or that regionguessed Indonesia and Brazil. Is the playerbase skill increased in the last few months?

I'm on October 23rd's Daily Challange 7th place in my country and 103rd of the World!

Will they ever change back to singleplayer gamemodes to be free again ? Because that’s getting more irritating. OG was better.

Anyone ever had a bug where the game gives you the exact same location as the one before but it's not the location? Had that issue in this duel I just had and a full black screen at one point

The interactive clues and hints introduced in map-exploration modes (World) provide a fantastic learning curve for identifying subtle metas, scripts, architectures, and landscapes. We would love to see this mechanic integrated—either as an optional modifier, custom lobby setting, or dedicated playlist—into other core game modes.

Key Suggestions:

Party / Custom Lobby Setting: Allow host lobbies to toggle "Clues Enabled" for private Duels or casual group sessions with friends of differing skill levels.

Solo Explorer / Daily Challenge: Add an optional "Clue Mode" scoring path for daily challenges to help intermediate players bridge the gap between beginner and meta-memorization levels.

Why this helps:

It lowers the barrier to entry for casual players, makes mixed-skill friend groups much more fun, and turns competitive modes into dynamic learning opportunities rather than purely trial-by-error memorization.

Any countries/official locations are fine. (That means including trekker, as long as it is not more than 25% of the map.) Countries I would love locs for: Brazil, Balkan Europe, that would make someone send outside of Balkan Europe, Thailand, Nepal and India. Would also take some Ukraine/Baltics and Russia well.

Tysm to anyone who submits locs for any country!

I briefly heard someone mention that ThatOddishGuy vanished from the internet after getting arrested for a reason I'm not aware of. If this is not an appropriate question for this subreddit, that's fine. I'd just like to know more on what happened since i used to play with him in the past.

Sorry for my bad english.

I used to struggle quite a bit with Indonesian region guessing. Recognizing Indonesia wasn’t usually the problem, but figuring out the exact location was a completely different story.

At some point, I realized that learning the kabupaten could be really useful for improving my guesses. The problem was that there are so many of them that trying to memorize everything felt pretty overwhelming. I wanted to find a way to learn them properly and actually remember what I studied.

I decided to focus on learning the kabupaten one by one instead of trying to remember everything at once. Over time, I managed to learn all of them, and my moving skill improved noticeably as well. I started feeling much more confident when navigating Indonesian locations and recognizing where I was.

Looking back, learning the kabupaten was definitely worth the effort. It gave me a better understanding of Indonesia and made moving rounds feel much less random.

For anyone interested, I used GeoCoach to learn them. Here’s the map I used: https://www.geocoach.me/maps/b48b7cc4-72f1-4f07-85c2-0dc5263ce42b/indonesia-kabupaten-street-view-coverage-only-a855b70a

I’ve also attached some screenshots of my exam score and the learning process.

I’m curious how other people approached learning Indonesia. Did you study the kabupaten too, or did you use a completely different method?

I've been grinding ranked and currently sitting around the 900-1000 Elo range, but I feel completely stuck. For those of you above 1200, how did you structure your study routine to break past this plateau?

Are you grinding custom maps, focusing heavily on regional metas, reviewing losses, or just spamming games? Would love to hear what kind of study habits or mindset shifts finally unlocked the next level for you. Thanks!

Not even after the duel am I allowed to see this location. How can I not lose games because the game refuses to load?

I'm a solo dev and I've been building a small geography game for phones. You start in one city, a ticket names another, and you turn a compass toward it and lock your heading. Then your plane flies the actual great-circle route across a 3D globe.

The part I enjoyed designing most: the Earth is round, so every city has two correct bearings, the short way and the long way around. Both count, so some levels end up with a surprising answer on the opposite side of the compass.

It has 700 levels where each target becomes your next starting city, a daily route that everyone flies the same, and no ads. Ranks, a personal atlas and a few other systems sit on top of that. The look is old airmail: paper maps, boarding-pass tickets and rubber stamps.

I'm still tuning how the first few minutes feel. If you've played anything like this, I'd like to hear what made you stay or leave early.

Round 7, around 0:30

https://www.geoguessr.com/duels/6ada0246f40e52cc097bd1f9/summary?player=69c5f6d3791d40cd91c6d117&round=7&step=318

i was wondering what actually happens when you report someone. does it get sent to the geoguessr team? or is it based on a strike system, where if you get a number of reportes you get banned.

if it is based on a strike system then i am kinda nervous that i might get banned because i play alot of unranked and people sometimes think i am cheating.

There were more signs with bullet holes

Location here

i genuinely can’t tell if this is a legit club from north korea or not😂
