Community reviews for Geoguessr

GeoGuessr is an engaging and interactive tool that can be a fun way to learn geography and enhance critical thinking skills. The game's immersive nature provides a unique way to explore global locations, offering a glimpse into diverse cultures and landscapes. However, it does have its limitations. The game can be challenging, especially for those with less geographical knowledge, and it doesn't provide detailed information about the locations. Also, there's a small chance of encountering inappropriate content as it uses Google Street View. Despite these minor drawbacks, GeoGuessr remains a unique and entertaining educational tool that brings the world to your fingertips. It would be even better if it had a difficulty setting, educational facts about the locations, and a filtering system for inappropriate content.

My overall opinion is that while fun, there are rare instances when the website provides real educational value. This is something that people play outside of school for fun, not really about learning. But if used properly and at the right time, it can connect to a geography unit for people of all ages. Also might be good for a cultural unit as students can see up close different parts of the world and maybe lose some biases about certain countries.

I enjoy playing this game by myself sometimes just to see how well I can identify areas of the world through deduction. The experience a student might have playing is heavily decided by how much knowledge they have of the outside world. Only would suggest it for older students.

Overall, really cool, immersive, and interesting learning tool! Definitely will help users learn geography better and also allow users to know more about different countries and places they might not know about.

I think that this app is simple enough for students to figure out how to use on their own. It's a clean and simple format with easy-to-follow instructions while maintaining a sense of fun as it makes identifying cities into a game.  The only issue that I can see in the classroom is when students are stuck on a certain place -- there is no "help" or "hint" option in the game. 

This game is super fun and really sparks a student's competitive aspect which is able to drive engagement and teach them a lot about world geography.

Overall, Geoguessr is a fun way for students to learn more about the world. Due to utilizing Google Earth, it feels immersive, almost like they are standing there themselves. This could be a great way to learn more about a region after just learning about it in geography or history class.

I love that students can learn more about the world by actually feeling like they are standing on the road in a different state or country. It could be hard for those with no experience with the location, but if we just had a lesson about a certain country or area, then it could be fun for the students to actually see what we were talking about. If we do a round about landmarks, they could go back to their notes and figure out where we are. Since it is a really simple game, students may not retain a lot of what places look like, but they may remember what certain languages look like or what colors are on a certain country's flag, allowing them to apply this information to other things their whole life.

Overall this a very fun website that I enjoyed using. It stimulates different parts of the brain to come up with an educative guess of where this location is on the world. GeoGuesser is very addictive and keeps students engaged while playing this game. I would say this is a good mix of being fun as well as educational that will entertain many different people.

This resource is a significantly interesting teaching tool. It is definitely more game than educational device, but that means it will keep your students interested and wanting to continue playing. Some of the modes are blocked behind payment walls, but getting one copy and playing it in class on a projector and having students all participate is a relatively easy solution.
