Saw this at Rock, Paper, Shotgun, pretty fun. :yep:

It's simple: you are thrown into a random location on google street view and you
have to figure out where you are. :D

My first game: 18,724.

I was doing well until they dropped me off in the middle of nowhere Australia. I was lucky to even have guessed the continent right.

Aye, happened to me too. The image quality was so crap that I couldnt read any
signs or anything. :dead:

I've gotten to within 6 or 7 km of the spot.

Now does googling the name of a bar or hotel you find on the street view count as cheating?

I use google all the time. That's what I find so amusing about it; Look for hints
and use them to find the place with google. :)

Cool! I got 16457 on my first try. My first one I was really off (guessed somewhere in the Riviera when it was actually in mexico), but the others were a lot closer. My favourite one was where it dropped me in front of a hotel in Key West, that was easy to figure out :D

Damn you, Americans - keep you lingo consistent! :stare:

I was thrown into a fun fare - my first guess would be a shabby park in Florida, untill I discovered a sign pointing to a "theatre". So I went for Kangarooland - of course it was Florida in the end, so I was only some 14000km off... :doh:
