1. Ranked and practice
Sign in, choose a mode, and identify the place shown in Street View by dropping a pin on the map. Both modes are free to play; usage and abuse-prevention limits may apply. Internet access and a compatible device are required.
Ranked games count toward the weekly leaderboard. Practice games let you explore and sharpen your guesses without changing your rank. Use one account per person and follow the Terms of Service, including the account age requirement.
2. Round and game scores
Each game has five rounds. A closer guess earns more points, up to 5,000 per round and 25,000 per game. A guess within 25 metres of the answer receives the full 5,000 points. An unsubmitted round scores zero.
Each round has a 120-second server-timed limit and a 5-second network grace period. A late guess scores zero. Returning to the app does not restart the timer. Finishing or leaving a game gives zero points for its unsubmitted rounds.
3. Your weekly rank
Your weekly score adds together your best completed, valid ranked game from each UTC day. A perfect week can total 175,000 points. The game's start time determines its day and week; practice games are excluded.
Higher totals rank first. Equal totals are ordered by the earlier finish time of the last counted game, then by account ID for a consistent order. Scores may be corrected or removed following a fair-play review.
4. Weekly reset
A week starts Monday at 00:00 UTC and ends the following Monday at 00:00 UTC. A new leaderboard starts each week.
New ranked games cannot start during the last 15 minutes of the week. No new rounds start after the week ends. A round already in progress can be submitted only within its own time limit and while the game is open; the final submission window closes no later than 130 seconds after the weekly boundary.
5. Fair play
Make your own guesses. Do not automate ranked play, manipulate scores, tamper with the app, exploit faults, collude, or use multiple accounts to bypass restrictions. Keep player names respectful and do not impersonate other people or share their private information.
Report a player from the leaderboard if you see an inappropriate name or suspect cheating. We may review activity, remove invalid scores, or restrict accounts that break the rules.
