GeoGuesser - Hosted by an AI

The geo-guessing genre has seen a sudden surge in AI-powered experimentation. Just yesterday, I reviewed GeoGPT, which pits players against an AI to identify locations using Mapillary imagery. Today, I came across GeoGuesser AI, a geo-guessing game that’s actually hosted by an AI..

In many respects, GeoGuesser AI follows the familiar geo-guessing format: you’re dropped into a random location in Google Street View and must rely on visual clues to pinpoint where you are. But here’s the twist- unlike every other geo-guessing game, you don’t submit your guess by clicking on a map. Instead, you interact directly with the AI, giving your answers through natural conversation.

This turns out to be a genuinely refreshing change. Not only does it make the game feel more immersive, it also unlocks some unique advantages. You can ask the AI for hints when you’re stuck - like help identifying a language from strange accents on a road sign, or insights into what countries might have cathedrals with bulb-shaped domes. 

If there’s one drawback, it’s the limited pool of locations. After only a few minutes, I started encountering repeat locations, sometimes even three times in a row. Hopefully, this is just a temporary issue that will be solved as the location database grows.
