GlobeGuesser

GlobeGuesser is a fun and educational online game that challenges your ability to recognize locations around the world using real-world imagery. In each round, you're dropped into a random spot on the map—via street view or satellite image—and your task is to guess where on Earth you are, using only visual clues from the surroundings.

It’s a lighthearted way to test your knowledge of geography, landscapes, and global environments.

Tap within the frame below to begin typing, or click here to play in full-screen mode.

Embark on a journey across the globe, where every road leads to a new mystery and every sign holds a clue. In GlobeGuesser, your curiosity is your compass, and the world is your playground. Test your knowledge of geography, sharpen your observational skills, and uncover the secrets hidden in plain sight. From bustling urban centers to serene rural landscapes, there's always something new to explore.

Whether you’re tracking down palm trees near a dusty highway or deciphering foreign languages on shop signs, every round presents a new challenge. No two games are the same – your next guess could drop you in the heart of a megacity or the middle of a snowy wilderness. Use every detail – license plates, road signs, architecture, vegetation, even shadows – to figure out where you are in the world.

Not sure what to look for? Don’t worry. You’ll learn to spot the little things that make a big difference. Is that road sign in Cyrillic? Is the car driving on the left side of the road? Are those birch trees or olive trees? Each clue helps narrow down your options and brings you closer to your answer. With enough practice, you’ll start to recognize patterns, regional quirks, and telltale features that hint at the location.

Play solo to hone your skills or challenge friends in competitive modes to see who can get the closest guess. The thrill isn’t just in getting it right—it’s in the journey to figure it out. Every location has a story, and part of the fun is piecing together that narrative from a single snapshot of the world.

GlobeGuesser is more than just a game—it’s a test of intuition, logic, and sometimes, good old-fashioned luck. You might surprise yourself with how much you already know—or how much there is still to learn. Think of it as a virtual voyage, where your eyes are your guide and the possibilities are endless.

Take your time or race against the clock. Play casually, or climb the leaderboards. However you choose to play, one thing is certain: the world is waiting. So zoom in, pan around, and take it all in. Every building, every mountain range, every highway is a piece of the puzzle. You never know what detail will give it all away.

Ready to guess where you are? Click play and dive in. Whether you’re a world traveler or an armchair explorer, GlobeGuesser will take you places you’ve never been—and test how well you know the world around you.
