GeoWizard | Can I locate this dude on a frozen lake? Or have I gone too far this time.. @GeoWizard | Uploaded April 2024 | Updated October 2024, 16 hours ago.
We've had some difficult geo detectives in the past year, but this one tops the lot. It's just a guy on a frozen lake. All we really have to play with is some piney looking trees, a stone dam and a buoy. Have I gone too far this time? or will my ever sharpening searching skills make this yet another success?
For those new to the channel, geo detective is a series in which I (GeoWizard) attempt to pinpoint the exact location of a photo, be it a fan or something different, using my skills on google earth, google maps and my questionable googling skills. The aim is to get within 25 metres of my target. So far I've only failed once. Let's keep the win streak going.

Today I attempt to combine my map scouring skills with my shamefully detailed knowledge of the world of Runescape. This is OSRSGUESSR; a brilliantly built game that uses the geoguessr model (except without the moving) to see if you can tell your Edgevilles from your Draynor Villages.
Runescape was a big part of my teenage years and I really enjoyed playing this.

(Geography based fun that is)
Today I attempt to get a perfect score on TimeGuessr, but this time with a twist. Its the game where you have to figure out when AND where iconic or interesting photographs were taken, a tall order when you have no frame of reference. But what if I were to open Google in another tab? Some of you said it would still be too hard, but I like a challenge. It took me a little while to get to grips with this, but after a handful of attempts I got a seed that was absolutely perfect for this new way of playing. The result was an enthralling game jam packed with juicy geo detective work, but would I get the elusive 50,000?

Back by popular demand, we revisit the high streets of Britain in a quest to locate the Wetherspoons pub. This week has some tricky rounds, but if you have particularly good eye sight and a bit of persistence and patience, you may just end up with a perfect score..
TO PLAY ALONG: Play your round, put your marker down, then switch tabs back to Youtube to watch my attempt and the result. This way you dont ruin the game or the video!

The Geoguessr break is finally over, and to kick things off again its something completely different. With the help of Jupaoqqs clever script (see link below) we are able to play Geoguessr, but from above. Having spent many an hour scouring Google Earths satellite imagery for both pleasure and work, this is a map I just know Im going to love.
Heres the link to the map.. *DISCLAIMER* In order to get this working, you need to download the script, and for the script to work you need to have downloaded tamper monkey or something similar. Its easy, and Im sure the source is trustworthy, but download at your own risk..

Its been a while since I gunned for the big 24,000 and with no adventures on the immediate horizon I thought this was the perfect time.
With the Diverse world map sadly gone, I thought I would have a stab at getting the 24K on the slightly easier World Map, but it was going to be a long journey.
Anything less than 4,400 on the first round results in a restart, and the average score for each of the 5 rounds must be 4,800 or more. The result is 10 hours of laser focused geoguessing that produce a plethora of unbelievable guesses, and thats not even all of them (stay tuned for the bonus guesses)

After last episodes half arsed performance and an embarrassing beating from twitchs most famous streamer Ludwig, I was keen to prove that I could perfect this map, even if it does advertise the pub slaying giant that is Wetherspoons.

Can I figure out which country border Im looking at using a small area of satellite imagery?
Having spent many an hour scouring Google Earths satellite imagery for both pleasure and work, you would think these maps suit me down to the ground, but theyre harder than you might think.
Rivers and lakes are definitely your friend on this one, but because you cant see the border on the imagery your searches need to be extra thorough!
