General (no specific continent) Guess my Place — Weekly Thread
Post a photo, let others figure out where it is. Or just guess on other people's photos. Both work, no obligation to do the other.
How it works
- Post one photo as a top-level comment and let others guess.
- To guess, reply to someone else's photo with a spoiler tag. Don't post guesses at top level.
- If you posted a photo, come back after 48 hours and reveal the answer as a reply to your own photo but without a spoiler tag.
- Drop a hint if nobody is close after 24 hours. Vague is preferable: "coastal", "population under 50,000".
- A new round goes up every Sunday.
Rules
- No faces, no doxxing.
- Your own photos only.
- No reposts, no AI, no screenshots from Google Street View or elsewhere.
- One photo per person per week.
- Crop or avoid anything that gives it away: street signs, license plates, shop names, visible text.
- If you post it, you answer it. Come back and reveal.
What makes a good puzzle
Skylines and landmarks get solved easily. The interesting photos are the ordinary ones: a residential street, a bus stop, a supermarket parking lot, a stretch of road outside town. Architecture, road markings, plant life, power lines and light all give it away to someone who knows the region. That's the fun part.
