What the current build is
Two ways in, both free and both without an account. Solo at
/play opens a fresh random five-round game each time. Google
Street View normally supplies the explorable imagery, anchored to the starting area
plan the game uses for scoring. If the Google app allowance is exhausted, the local
fallback contains 131 sample areas and 674 real panoramas from 27 countries across
five continents. Free play prefers the areas you have played least recently and avoids
reopening on the previous game's opening area when there is an alternative. You choose
one optional timer of 30, 60, 90 or 180 seconds per round, or none, and it stays fixed
for the whole game.
Guest rooms at /multiplayer are the casual way to
play with other people. One player creates a room and shares a six-character code or
an invite link; up to 20 players join with nothing but a nickname. When the second
player arrives, a full three-minute countdown starts, and the host can begin sooner
once two players are in the room: both paths run the same ten-second countdown, and
joining closes while it lasts. Everyone then receives the same five places in the same
order, with 90 seconds a round once their photograph and map are ready. A round is
revealed once everybody has guessed or the 90 seconds expire, the scores stay up for
10 seconds, and after round five the winner is celebrated before the full leaderboard.
From there, Play again together moves everyone still in the room into a fresh
lobby automatically, with the same names and the scores reset.
Guest rooms are casual by design. They are not ranked, they do not award solo XP, and
nothing in them counts as an official record. A disconnected player keeps their place
and can reconnect into the room while the match is running; a round they miss scores
zero.
