The Department of Geography invites students, faculty and staff to a GeoGuessr competition on Friday, Oct 16, at 3 p.m.

The event will take place in the UK eSports Theater at the eSports Lounge in The Cornerstone building at 401 S. Limestone St. Gameplay will be projected on large displays so participants and spectators can watch teams debate climates, argue over road markings and place a guess in the wrong hemisphere with great confidence. Come test your geographic recall, represent by playing on a team or simply watch geographers overthink what they know about landscapes.

GeoGuessr is a popular online geographic game that challenges players to identify locations around the world using visual clues from Street View imagery. Players or teams are dropped somewhere in the world and must determine where they are based on the landscape, built environment, cultural cues, vegetation, road infrastructure and other environmental indicators.
