How is the score calculated?
Each round is worth up to 5,000 points. Guesses within 1 km of our landmark reference point earn 5,000. Beyond that, points decrease exponentially with distance: round(5000 × exp(−(distance − 1) / 90)). Reference points are approximate landmark locations, not entrance or navigation directions.
Is this a 360° virtual tour?
This first edition is a photo and map guessing game. You can inspect photographs, discover cultural context and follow links to audio guides. The photographs are not live street views.
What is today’s adventure?
Everyone gets the same five places in the same order on a given date in Korea Standard Time. Quick play shuffles the places. With seven places in this edition, repeat visits are part of the game.
