How to Play Openguessr: Your Complete First-Time Guide

Welcome to OpenGuessr! This guide will quickly get you up to speed, transforming you from a curious beginner into a global geographer. You'll be pinpointing locations like a pro in no time.

1. Your Mission: The Objective

Your primary objective in OpenGuessr is to accurately guess your location on a world map based on a street view image. The closer your guess is to the actual spot, the more points you earn!

2. Taking Command: The Controls

Disclaimer: These are the standard controls for this type of game on PC Browser with Keyboard/Mouse. The actual controls may be slightly different.

3. Reading the Battlefield: Your Screen (HUD)

• Street View Panel: This large central area displays the panoramic image of your current location. This is where you'll gather all your clues!
• Minimap/World Map: Usually in a corner, this shows a smaller, interactive map where you will place your guess. Watch for the red marker indicating your proposed location.
• Score/Distance Counter: After you make a guess, this area will show how many points you earned and how far off your guess was from the actual location. Aim for a lower distance to maximize your score!
• Timer (if applicable): In some game modes, a timer counts down your remaining time to make a guess. Keep an eye on it to avoid running out of time.

4. The Rules of the World: Core Mechanics

• Clue Gathering: "The game drops you into a random street view. Your main task is to look for clues in the environment – road signs, license plates, architecture, vegetation, language, and even the side of the road traffic drives on – to deduce your location."
• Guessing Accuracy: "Your score is directly proportional to the accuracy of your guess. If your placed marker is within a few meters of the actual location, you'll earn maximum points. The further off you are, the fewer points you receive."
• Movement and Exploration: "You can often move around within the street view by clicking on arrows on the ground or using the WASD/arrow keys. Don't be afraid to explore your surroundings to find better clues before making your final guess!"
