Is this getting harder? I thought I was pretty good at geography but question 5 has started to become a complete lottery.

I feel like Question 5 should be hard with the extra multiplier.

Not too bad but miss hit on one (you can guess which)

Not only a test of knowledge but a test of patience! I’ve been to that first city about a dozen times. But the clue just wouldn’t load for me so it was bust today.

Getting better!

I saw some people mention a zoom feature. I''m playing on my laptop, can't find any way to zoom.

With a mouse, just scroll the mouse wheel forward. if using a touchpad, I imagine sliding forward would do the same thing.

Feels far too high a score for what were guesses for the last two. I think that 95 score was 200Km away and yet still high. Plus Costa Rica isn’t that big so even selecting the middle of the country still got me 98…

Maybe the game is designed for a US audience and they’re not even expecting people to get the right continent.

Having played five days now the pattern presented seems pretty simple:

Level 1 & 2: major globally known city that can be easily discerned as a major conurbation on the satellite map.
Level 3: large city but maybe not globally famous.
Level 4: nationally significant city/place but not visible as a distinct conurbation on the satellite view. Instead you have to rely on geographical features to perfectly locate it.
Level 5: large town/city that is only regionally significant. Specific local geographical knowledge needed to pinpoint.

If we take Aus/NZ as an example:
Lvl 1/2. This is really only going to be Sydney. Maybe AKL or MEL might get a look in.
Lvl 3. AKL, MEL, PER
Lvl 4. Wellington, Gold Coast, Darwin, Christchurch
Lvl 5. Alice, Newcastle, Queenstown, Dunedin, Townsville

I find this such a guess - I suppose I could cheat and have google maps open at the same time
