Link to challenge 6 (series 2). The last challenge was a hard one! The closest anyone got was Trashmaster, who got 3 points at 19 yards, with Fondorlat in second (2 points) at 31 yards. Everyone else who 25K'd got 1 point. Remember, there's no rush, it's all about getting closer, no extra points gained for speed. Table is below.

A couple of tough ones. R5 will require some Cyrillic knowledge (or a good ability to scan a map looking for matching Cyrillic words, which is what I tend to do!) All pinpointable, as always.

This is the sixth of the second series based on my own GeoDetective map. No moving, no time-limit (take your time!). There is always a clue somewhere that will help you pinpoint the location, some are easier than others. Feel free to leave walkthroughs in comments or ask where the clue was if you missed it, but always use the spoiler tag so as not to >!spoil !<it for others! Official coverage only.

A bot will keep a leaderboard for the month. You'll notice two columns related to your scoring performance. The first of these columns is labeled Average and represents your average score among all games throughout the month. The second column is labeled Score and represents either: 1. The average of your top 15 performances, or 2. Your average score divided by 15 (if you have played less than 15 games). The leaderboard is sorted by Score. At the end of the month, the highest Score will be declared the winner, and the leaderboard will reset for the next month.

Why do we keep score this way? There were 3 potential options for scorekeeping:

1. Straight Average -- flawed because a player who only plays once but scores 25000 would likely win for the month.
2. Cumulative Total -- flawed because it unfairly favors those who are able to play every and is a severe disadvantage to those who miss even a single day.
3. Score of top 15 -- the method currently in use, it allows for some leeway for those not able to play daily, but at the same time, it's beneficial to those who are able to play more than 15 times. After 15 plays, each new score will bump out the previous lowest score.

Shoutout to u/Nakiroh, who had taken over the challenge for a while a few years back!

Just wanted a throwback to the good old days of Reddit Geoguessr, before it evolved into what it is today. This one was always my favorite :)

Threelimination is a challenge consisting of 12 levels. In order to qualify for the next level, you will need to exceed the minimum point threshold, which will increase with each seed. The seeds are listed below, labeled by the minimum point threshold that you must achieve in order to move on. Seeds are drawn from A Community World

Play each seed in order. Once you fail to meet a threshold, you are not eligible to attempt the higher seeds competitively (although you may still play them). Comment with the highest successful threshold met, hidden in a spoiler tag.

For example:

!20k!<

means you passed the 20,000 point threshold but failed on the 21,000 point threshold. Let me know immediately if you find any issues, in particular with the seeds - any black screens or seeds I forgot to change the link to, etc.

Summary of top 3 performances:

Top 10 Individual Personal Bests All-Time:

Link to challenge 5 (series 2). A bit of controversy in challenge 4, since the "winner" could not have possibly got 0 yards three times in a row, and done the whole challenge so quickly. There were a couple of locations in that challenge where the pointer was actually slightly out, so to guess exactly is too suss. Sorry!

Therefore, RasRos gets 3 points (15 yards), and EniJ got 2 points (17 yards). Every other 25K'er gets 1 point. Remember, there's no rush, it's all about getting closer, no extra points gained for speed. Table is below.

Challenge 5 is hard, in that you have to think laterally on at least two of them, and on R3, while you could still 5K it, it is not entirely pinpointable to the nearest yard like some of them as there isn't a POI close by. But you'll get close!! (if no one 5K's R3, the top closest will count).

In future there won't be rounds like R3 as I'll always try to have a POI directly opposite, but I needed to include a couple that will take a while to find and one that will be easy to find but hard to be within 15 yards, just to see what happens :D

Thought of this about an hour ago and made a quick map to see if it was fun...it's different lol. So the challenge is to use both satellite view mode and "time machine" mode -view previous street view years- to find out the locations. Some locations you will be able to find with just satellite, some with just previous year street view, and at least one location will require both. These locations are not the best, but in future challenges they will be better.

Feel free to post how you found the locations in the comments!

Requires a script that can show satellite mode and a script that can show previous year street view images. The Unity script is the only one that I know of that can do both.

Summary of top 3 performances:

Top 10 Individual Personal Bests All-Time:

I thought those were generally good seeds, with a good distribution of locations, and a lot of findable locations. There were 54 5ks in all! That's one of the joys of moving games, being able to take the time to find out where you are.

Only one 25k, though - d1e5el perfected the Europe map.

Today we've got Poland for the country map, and Latin America for the region map.

Introduction

The Stochastic maps are large randomly-generated maps that use population data to place locations where people live. Generally, locations will be in populated areas, though rural areas with even a few structures nearby appear as well. I made these maps because most maps tend to focus on rural locations and meta-learnable locations, but I generally find urban areas more interesting to roam around. And while World is much more urban than it used to be, its distribution is perplexingly strange. I hope other people find them interesting as well.

I welcome any feedback about maps to include, mode + time settings, standings, summary statistics of interest and how they're displayed - whatever. Particularly, with the rotating country maps, please feel welcome to suggest any country you would like to see added to the list.

Challenges

Each week has 5 challenge links, with three standard maps (Stochastic Populated World, Equitable Stochastic Populated World, and Skewed Stochastic Populated World), and two other Stochastic maps chosen from rotating lists: One world or large-region map, and one country-specific map. The type of challenge (moving, no move, or no-move/pan/zoom) and duration are selected at random.

Standings

The top 5 players on each challenge link (myself excluded) are awarded series points: 5 points to 1st place, through 1 point for 5th place, with ties broken by the time taken. Ties in the all-time standings are broken by the sum of scores from all games played. (I might not stick with this standing scheme.)

A bot will keep a leaderboard for the month. You'll notice two columns related to your scoring performance. The first of these columns is labeled Average and represents your average score among all games throughout the month. The second column is labeled Score and represents either: 1.

At the end of the month, the highest Score will be declared the winner, and the leaderboard will reset for the next month.

Why do we keep score this way? There were 3 potential options for scorekeeping:

1. Straight Average -- flawed because a player who only plays once but scores 25000 would likely win for the month.
2. Cumulative Total -- flawed because it unfairly favors those who are able to play every and is a severe disadvantage to those who miss even a single day.
3. Score of top 15 -- the method currently in use, it allows for some leeway for those not able to play daily, but at the same time, it's beneficial to those who are able to play more than 15 times. After 15 plays, each new score will bump out the previous lowest score.
