At first glance I thought GeoGuessr was a total crapshoot. The game drops you into an unknown location and asks "Where are you?" - at which point you drop a pin on a Google Map where you think you've landed. Based on a 360° look around you, how could you ever tell where you were in the world? Fortunately the game thought of that and lets you explore a little more than just your immediate surroundings. It quickly becomes an exercise in context clues. See some Cyrillic letters around you? You can rule out a large portion of the map. See a giant sign that says "Quebec" on it? Yea, you're not in the Sahara.

It's fun and, fortunately, it treats the experience in rounds. So you don't play infinitely. Give it a handful of guesses to get into it!
