MidniteScribbler · 18/05/2013 06:50

Woot!!!! I just got one that I pinpointed the street exactly!

TanteRose · 18/05/2013 06:55

Ooh, Midnite - respect!
BIG points, yeah?

BearsInMotion · 18/05/2013 07:09

Ha, 0.3km away, 6000 points!!

Gobbolinothewitchscat · 18/05/2013 07:20

8039 - need to keep practicing!

Gobbolinothewitchscat · 18/05/2013 07:20

Practising

KatyDid02 · 18/05/2013 07:21

Fantastic, but I don't have the time! Thanks a lot OP :)

Seriously though, it's great, so a genuine thank you too :)

14140! have just realised you can zoom and move compass - managed to get within 2.1 km of somewhere. What a fab way to spend the day!

KobayashiMaru · 18/05/2013 07:34

19,129 points, I got one less than a km away, and 2 less than 10km away!

TanteRose · 18/05/2013 07:38

Wow, Kobayashi, impressive!
My highest score so far is just over 14,000

Slainte · 18/05/2013 08:09

This is brilliant and so addictive. It also proves that I really need to improve my geography!

KobayashiMaru · 18/05/2013 08:11

to be fair, one of them I had been to, and the other 2 had useful signs! the ones that are just road and trees are impossible.

I've pretty much worked out that if it looks like Scotland or Wales then I should say its New Zealand Blush

12500 is my highest score :-)

Nearest guess using research is 33meters. Nearest guess just guessing was 62km. Is very addictive. Dh now paying and cursing me for showing him it! [Grin] love it.

poorbuthappy · 18/05/2013 10:42

Oh my dear lord, I am totally pants at this game!!!!

poorbuthappy · 18/05/2013 10:47
  1. Need to keep practicing I think!
quirrelquarrel · 18/05/2013 11:19

21763 is my best. Think my worst is less than 2000!

yes I'm addicted, well done OP Grin

EggsMichelle · 18/05/2013 11:23

Addicted too, been playing all morning!

Yoghurty · 18/05/2013 11:28

Excellent, another time waster. Just what I need Grin

goingupinfumes · 18/05/2013 12:18

You got 7335 points in total!! wow this is great keep mixing mexico up with spain etc!! but I think with practice this is fun - I think schools should introduce this is really observational and good fun!

MidniteScribbler · 18/05/2013 12:41

I think schools should introduce this is really observational and good fun!

I'm already working on a way to incorporate the idea in to some lessons Grin

openerofjars · 19/05/2013 20:52

I've been hooked on this thing all weekend, thank you! I am quietly proud of my top score of 25213 but have no life now. It's more addictive than this place.

TanteRose · 20/05/2013 00:04

I know!

I have travelled the world this weekend Grin

My worst score (for one guess) was 36 - I guessed northern Scandinavia and it was actually somewhere in the far south of New Zealand! Probably the furthest away I could have gone

Did anyone get a bizarre start location in a lecture hall in some random university, that you couldn't exit? Turned out it was in Greece Confused

wonderstuff · 20/05/2013 00:37

Wow, too addictive, bloody mn
