If you cannot travel around the world, why not travel through the Internet? GeoGuesr, a new online travel game, really challenges your geography skills. The game seems to be easy to play, but nearly impossible to win.
How to Play the Game
First you are given a photo of scenery(风景)and a marker. When you think you know where the photo was taken, click on the Google map to place your marker on the spot(地点).
Click on the "Make Guess" button on the bottom of the map. A new image will appear, showing the distance between the area you chose and the actual location. Geoguessr will tell how many kilometers away you were and how many points you learned.
You get five chances to guess the location. After the fifth one, you see a map showing your guesses, the correct locations and the number of points you earned.
Helpful Hints(提示)
Here are a few tips to help you find what part of the planet you are seeing.
Look around and see if you can find any words on signs to show the local language. For example, if both French and English are on signs, Canada might be a good guess.
Make a note of whether the cars drive on the right or the left side of the road. If cars are driving on the left, it may be in England.
If you have enough patience and are thirsty for earning more points, you can find some magazines, like the National Geography, to read and learn more about the knowledge in the world geography.
This new game is supposed to be accepted by parents and teachers. After all, the more kids play the game, the better they will get at geography.
