Only cheating if you google, otherwise IMO signs are fair game. Relatively speaking, there should definitely be a time limit for each game.

Fun game. First game I had a picture of a gas station and a bunch of dirt/desert and a couple of trees. American cars and white people. I guessed New Mexico. It was Austrailia for like 20 points.

Guessed New Jersey and it was Russia. Not even mad. Both places looks to be utterly miserable.

I get fooled by Australia almost every time.

Some of the Eastern European shitholes I've been dropped in to make me appreciate having grown up in boring ass Ohio.

I tried to play 3 times, and I feel like every single picture was either US/Canada, Australia, or Eastern Europe.

Those are the biggies along with Western Europe. Brazil and South Africa are also common.

Probably the most random country I've ended up in was Botswana.

I agree looking at signs is fine. Using Google should be punishable by death.

I had one that put me in a city. I scrolled around and saw the word "Montreal" on a building. So I clicked on Montreal. Turns out it was one of those tiny countries north of Brazil. And then I had this vague memory of school growing up when we were doing world geography where we found out one of those little countries was originally a French colony. Well, fuck me, Google!

I've played like 5 times and have never got a place in Africa. Ive guessed Africa a couple times because they were just fucking dirt roads and it looked to be safari like, but of course it was Australia every damn time!

Fuck this shit. I was actually having a pretty good round. And then for #4, I got this dirt roads and farm area with absolutely nothing to give a remote-ass clue where I was. Wound up being in Thailand. I got 82 points for that one.

I also had a game where I picked South Africa and it was Australia. And then later picked Australia and it was South Africa.

So, we need to bomb one of those places, so I can tell them apart!

New best score: 8443

Did solid on 4/5, but had that one where I was off by about two continents because it was just a random dirt road out in the middle of nowhere.

Was it a picture with a bunch of ducks? I think I had that one.

You mistook a South American country for Canada?

If vehicles are on the left side of the road and you see english, I guess Australia.

Any way to not have fucking Russia pop up, that and the Scandinavian countries suck.
