GeoGuessr is a browser-based geography game in which players must deduce locations from Google Street View imagery. The game includes various modes, such as single-player and multiplayer competitions.
Launched in 2013 by Anton Wallén, the game maintained a relatively small but active player base until 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic and social media led to a significant influx of new players. In 2024, the game moved to a subscription model.
The game has been described as an educational tool for geography, allowing players to learn and identify various global geographical and cultural characteristics. These include writing systems, architecture, left- and right-hand traffic, flags, vehicle registration plates, landscapes, and flora. This educational aspect enhances players' understanding of different cultures and regions around the world.
