OpenGuessr drops you into photo scenes from around the world—streets, plazas, rural roads, city corners—and tasks you with figuring out where you are. There are no prompts or giveaways. Every sign, building detail, or pattern in the sky could help you. It works solo or you can challenge someone head-to-head. The fact that it’s open-source means players everywhere add new rounds constantly—so the locations keep evolving.
This game is perfect for anyone who likes puzzles, geography, or just exploring new places from home. It's straightforward, immersive, and unpredictable.
At the start of each round, you’re placed in a real-world image. Move around by dragging your mouse or swiping on mobile. Look at road signs, shop names, the color and shape of buildings—any clue helps. When you're ready, click on the map where you think that spot is. The closer your guess, the better your score.
OpenGuessr isn’t single-minded—it offers several ways to play:
Image Guesser: Identify the exact location in a single photo
Country Guesser: Guess the country of the image, even if you can't pinpoint the spot
Multiplayer Duels: Face someone in real-time guessing races
Timed and Themed Rounds: Quick quizzes or special theme packs like “Northern Europe only” or “Desert Scenes”

Note the sun’s position or shadows; they help determine your hemisphere.
In multiplayer, speed counts—even when guessing, make your best guess quickly.
Zoom in where you can—small text or shop logos often carry surprisingly helpful info.

Yes. Since players contribute new locations, the content keeps expanding.
Is it playable on mobile?
