You are dropped at a random spot with street-level imagery. Look around, then put a pin on the map. Up to 5,000 points a round, depending on how close you are.

Walk, look around and zoom.

Every game gets a seed. After it ends you can send a link that plays the same places.

How the spot is picked

On Apple Look Around the server draws a covered city, then a spot on its streets, and your browser tries the spots in order until one loads. On Google Street View it draws a random point on the globe, throws it away if it is water, then asks Street View whether official imagery exists within the radius you chose, and keeps drawing until one hits. Nothing is pre-made, so no two games repeat unless you share a seed.

How points work

5,000 for a guess within 25 metres, falling off with distance. The falloff is scaled to the area you are playing, so a 100 km miss inside one country costs more than a 100 km miss on the whole world.

Where the pictures come from

Apple Look Around or Google Street View, shown with their own logos and under their own terms. Country outlines are Natural Earth data. The answer never reaches your browser until you have guessed.
