The Department of Geography invites students, faculty and staff to a GeoGuessr Search Party on Friday, April 17 at 3:00 PM!
The event will take place in the UK eSports Theater at the eSports Lounge in The Cornerstone building at 401 S Limestone, Lexington, KY 40508, USA. This space is designed specifically for competitive and interactive digital gaming events, where 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.
You can enter the competition or play casually, and even play against Department of Geography's faculty! There will be giveaways and prizes for attendees as well as free food and drinks!
Come test your geographic instincts, represent your side or simply watch geographers overthink landscapes in public!
GeoGuessr is a popular online geographic game that challenges players to identify locations around the world using visual clues from Street View imagery. A player or team is 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.
