GeoGuessr is a browser-based geography game in which players must deduce locations from Google Street View imagery.

The game has been described as an educational tool for geography, allowing players to learn and identify various global geographical and cultural characteristics.

These include writing systems, architecture, left- and right-hand traffic, flags, vehicle registration plates, landscapes, and flora.

The "classic" GeoGuessr game mode consists of five rounds, each displaying a different street view location for the player to guess on a map.

Users can control the movement, panning, and zooming of the image, although GeoGuessr allows any of these features to be disabled for harder gameplay.

[citation needed] Users may interpret their location from the photographs by reading road signage, memorizing utility poles, finding the relative position of the Sun, identifying flora and soil types, and learning diacritics specific to particular writing systems.

[24][25] As well as English, the game is available in ten other languages: Dutch, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Polish and Japanese.

Locations such as Zanzibar used third-party and unofficial imagery, and GeoGuessr players have described some of this media as grainy, blurry, and over- or under-exposed.
