GuessWhereYouAre is an online geography-based game launched in 2015. The game places players in random locations around the world using high-quality, interactive maps, challenging them to guess their exact location. Players can explore their surroundings and make educated guesses based on visual clues such as landmarks, landscapes, and road signs. The game is similar in style to GeoGuessr, though GuessWhereYouAre[1] differentiates itself with a focus on being free to play and offering richer multiplayer experience for casual gamers.
Gameplay

The game can be played casually in single-player mode or in multiplayer matches for competitive play.
