The Catalan GeoGuessing Game

Developer Toni Vidal has released a new GeoGuessr inspired game featuring photographs of the stunning and diverse landscapes of Catalonia. His Geoendevina game simply requires you to guess the locations of a series of photos taken in the Catalonia region of Spain.

The rules of Geoendevina are very simple. In each round of the game you are presented with a different photograph, each of which depicts a unique location somewhere in Catalonia. From the bustling streets of Barcelona to the serene beaches of Costa Brava, or the majestic peaks of the Pyrenees to the historic landmarks in Girona, each image is a window into the rich tapestry of Catalonia.

Your task is to pinpoint the exact location of each photograph by clicking on the map within 60 seconds. The more accurately you identify the location, the better your score. At the end of each game, you will receive a summary showing the total distance between your guessed locations and the correct positions. The closer your guesses, the better your score.

Toni's game is loosely based on my own Backdrop game, which requires players to identify the locations in famous paintings. Toni has adapted the code so that the game works a lot better on mobile devices and introduced a 60 second time limit for each round.
