New round, new format! 📌

Below you have six images, one each from Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania, South America (not necessarily in that order).

The directions for the images refer to the centre of the image.

Instead of guessing the country, the goal in this case is to guess the point on Earth where the photo was taken. The closer you can guess (even if you get the country or the continent wrong), the better. I will later tell y'all how many kilometres/miles away y'all are for each guess. :elementary:

For each image you can send me the points however you like (the numbers, a Google Maps URL, whatever). The easiest way to get the coordinates is to just head to Google Maps, right click on the map wherever you wanna guess, and then left click the first option with the coordinates. This will automatically copy the coordinates to your clipboard.

We'll keep the game open for a week until around this time on March 21st. You can post your guesses here, or PM me or whatever. You can update your guesses at any point. Using Google et al. is fair game.

Bon chance! :hat:

The second one is here, though I think it's not exactly accurate: -8.77283657347329, 160.90714570794586

Intermission time! This video is well worth a watch.

A god of the game vs. a mere mortal. :)

I guess we can turn the others into a "guess the country" round again. :cool:
