MapaPhoto challenges you to find where real photographs were taken. You can place multiple guesses on the map and use distance feedback to guide you closer to the correct location.
Step 1: Study the photo
Look carefully at the image and identify visual clues.
- Architecture and building styles
- Language on signs and road markings
- Vehicles and driving side
- Landscape, vegetation, and climate
- Coastlines, mountains, or city density
Step 2: Place pins on the map
Drop a pin anywhere on the world map to make a guess.
You are not limited to one guess. You can move or drop new pins as many times as you like. Each guess shows the distance to the real location in kilometres.
Step 3: Find the location
Keep refining your guesses until you see a green tick, confirming you’ve found the photo.
In timed modes, you can keep guessing until the timer runs out.
Solve rule (important)
A photo is solved when you place a pin within 50km of the correct location. Once solved, that photo locks — you can’t place more pins for it — and you move on to the next photo.
Results and MyMap
After the game, you’ll see your results and can review the photos you found. The MyMap page shows all your discovered locations on a world map.
