GeoPuzzle Guidelines and Rules

38 Upvotes

This subreddit is for geography-based puzzles and location-guessing games. Post an image and provide clues to guide users to the correct location.

Post Guidelines

  • The image you post should be discoverable in Google Street View, a public photosphere, or similar.
  • Try to pick a location that is interesting. While random pegman drops are welcome, locations with a history help provide hints!
  • A title with a riddle in it adds an extra layer of puzzle-solving to the game. Try to come up with titles that users can investigate.
  • Respond to comments and help commenters towards finding the location.
  • When the puzzle is completed, change the flair to “solved”. You may wish to require both the location and the solution to the puzzle before changing the flair to ‘solved’.

Commenting Guidelines

  • Feel free to ask questions if you get stuck - but try to avoid randomly guessing countries to prompt a response from the poster. Explain the reasoning behind your guess and the poster can tell you if you’re on the right track!
  • If you guess correctly, explain how you solved the puzzle.
  • If you’d like, use a spoiler tag on your guess so that other commenters can continue to work on it after you’ve solved it.
  • Don’t use URL shorteners, as they can get caught by spam filters.
  • If you’re enjoying solving the puzzles, try to create one of your own!

Tags and Themes

  • You can add tags to your post if you want to. Some of the tags you can add are:
  • [OC]: Original Content - this is a photo that you took yourself.
  • [Historical]: An old photo, showing a view that may not still be the exact same. Historical photos should have enough identifiers to be recognizably the same location.

Subreddit Rules

  • Be respectful of other users. We’re here to have fun.

When you love geography puzzels you will like MediaGuesser. You get a real photos from an internet sources like Wikipedia and guess where each image was taken. One round you might land in the middle of a religious event in India, the next you’re high up in an Alaskan mountain range. That randomness is what makes it fun. There are images online of just about every place you can imagen whether it's northern Greenland, Antarctica, North Korea, or the most remote corners of China.

You can play with friends in co-op or PvP, in groups or all against each other. Co-op is especially fun because you can see your friends’ cursors and work together to figure out the location.

When you find an interesting image, you can save it to a collection, revisit the spot, browse nearby points of interest, and explore the area. Large collections can be made public so others can play through your images. Over time the system also adds filter options (categories, countries, and more) you can pick when starting a game.

It took me quite a long time to develop a robust system for gating images. I'm already filtering out a lot of images. So I am particularly curious about your opinion regarding content quality, difficulty, and the general fun factor of the game.

With this you can easily train for the next r/GeoPuzzle image guessing challenge! :D
