Geoguessr, but I can only place the pin somewhere I've been IRL

- Introducing my latest weird and wonderful way of playing Geoguessr!
This time, instead of spamming rounds until I've been to the location in real life like we did last time, we play the game as normal but we only place the pin somewhere we've been. If it's Europe or even North America then I might be able to get surprisingly close to the pin. If it's South America, Asia or Australia then I'm pretty screwed.
Will I get any insanely familiar locations and big resulting scores? Can I even work out the location to begin with? I delve back into the classic world map to find out..
DON'T FORGET: you can play along to try and beat me score! (only for the first game)
PLAY ALONG: Play your round, put your marker down, then switch tabs back to RUclips to watch my attempt and the result. This way you don't ruin the game or the video!

Big up to 40johnson87 for his comment!
shoutout to my man
indeeed
@40johnson87 😎😎
shoutout to Tom shouting out 40johnson87
I hate 40johnson87
Oof this made my day lol. Thanks mate! Its funny in the last round of the first game I've been just as close but had no clue. Looks like its time to run across Africa
Nice one
Great idea 40johnson87!
The goat
As a Washington state native, when I saw John L Scott... I new. lol.
da goat!
"It was one expensive honeymoon but it's starting to pay off" 😂😂
next straight line mission "RUclipsr has gone missing!"
Take a more strategic honeymoon next time, mate.
mauritius saved him from zero points multiple times in this video tho
Should've gone to Bali like all the other knobheads
@@crashiecorbashieHe did not show us the remaining attempts, where all the rounds might have been NZ, Japan, Argentina and Taiwan. 😂
A second honeymoon in China or South Korea would really up his game.
Vacationing on North Sentinel Island would've gotten him more points
"This isn't Britain..." One of the most iconic tracks and pitbuildings in the world. Nice one Tom
IKR!
Brit-is? Brit-ain't!
@@Gameboygenius never say something like that again
Me looking at that round for less than a second: Ah, Silverstone, Hamilton straight.
"This isn't Britain"
...🤦♂
cringe, we don't say "ain't"@@Gameboygenius
2:10 "As you can see, people drive around it in normal cars" *points at an Aston Martin*
it is way more normal than an f1 car
Wym that's just a bone stock Aston. Not even a race car
@@TommyCullen-VacuumConnisour And an F1 car is way more normal than a Sherman tank. That doesn't make Aston Martin a normal car. It's definitely out of the price range of the vast majority of people, and designed for the race track.
@@Kiwi2703 you know what he meant by it tho cmon
Yeah non-race cars. I don't think he even noticed what car it was, just that it was not a race car.
Looks like an Australia trip/mission needs to happen
With a layover in New Delhi just to hedge his Asian guesses
Straight line across WA? 😂
Straight line mission. Perth to Canberra maybe?
@@RandomXxX13 Lmaooo he would DIE before he made it to the Nullarbor 💀💀
@@RandomXxX13 I appreciate you choosing Canberra instead of Sydney
13:55 As a long time viewer, my heart broke when you pronounced "Oregon" the correct way
didnt notice it the first time, truly heartbraking
O-rae-gun 🤣🤣🤣
it was the same feeling as when u find out santa isnt real
I miss the Or Ray Gun :(
@@jakeanator Wait, what?!
As an idea, get someone (Verity maybe) to create a custom map just of places you've been and see how well you do on a no moving challenge.
great idea!
No moving no panning no zoom. Then he has to recognize the area just from one image.
"That was an expensive honeymoon, but it's starting to pay off" 😂 absolute gold!
Get invited to Jet Lag for one of their seasons and you would travel some more!
Yes please!
That is such a great idea oh my god i need that
that would be sick
yesss
That'd be cool but I don't know if there'd be good chemisty between Sam and Tom
How to not travel Australia must be imminent 😁
"how to not die in the Australian outback" would be a ripping title for a geowizard video
an irl collab with zigzag maybe?
YES! Perth to Melbourne (I think he lives in Melbourne) ending only after completing a challenge with ZigZag@@user-bc5mv2ot8k
But "How not to travel Australia" would be more interesting 😂
@@michaelwisniewski6047 How not to travel australia featuring zigzag
Greece to Sri Lanka is about 4200 miles -give or take; so Tom chose the shorter of the two.
A straight line mission across Australia would be really helpful for these games.
the driveway to the garage of that house at 11:30 is absolutely ridiculous
10:54 The concrete roads make it MUCH more likely to be USA than Canada. If it was Canada, the roads would likely be asphalt. Also, Lynnwood is a town in Washington state, which is what that street is likely named after.
For me the giveaway was the OS on the car and the green flag also screaming Oregon. Ended up more north than I would have guessed
i recognized the 360 in the phone number as Washington
@@tito2735 I was gonna say I saw the three digit area code and assumed america
@@tito2735 this plus that realtor is pretty rooted in this area, and like OP knowing the town of Lynwood here, so it jumped at me pretty quickly that this was WA state
@@slightlyaboveaveragebutaverage Canada also has three digit area codes as we've used to share the same systems essentially.
I feel like enabling moving in order to secure as certain a location as possible before figuring out where you've been could be most efficient going forward, and I wouldn't be mad if you had to cross-check with a pinned google earth tab or something, even if it's a bit out of the spirit of original Geoguessr. This format is really fun, hope to see more of it.
I've been on that exact spot at Silverstone. Every Christmas they do a Christmas Lights lap where you can take your car for a lap around the track, with the whole thing decorated with Christmas lights. Was pretty cool driving along the same track so many incredible drivers have! Good video mate.
Same here! Lol would've been a 5,000 round right off the bat. Also walked down the grid for an endurance race weekend there once as well.
Same here! I drove my Corsa flat out at copse because they let you on before the old pit straight but the lights don’t begin until Maggots 😅
When Russ Cook runs across Africa this would be a great game to play with him. You find were you are and Russ tells you where he's been.
I think it would be interesting to do a Europe version of this because you've been to a lot of places in Europe and it's always nice to hear your stories. The more interesting rounds were ones where you'd at least been close.
4:59 The rectangular blue and yellow warning sign at that chicane makes it obviously Sweden. I don't think you'd see those colours together on a warning sign anywhere else in the world. The chicane is interesting... I think most places would have a speed bump/hump instead.
Also the petrol station. St1 is only found in Norway, Sweden and Finland
Such chicanes are quite common here in Germany in residential areas. :)
@@youri7176Not in that colour scheme though
Nice traffic calming! :)
Sweden is known for its chicanery
They should get you on jet lag the game, you would be well suited to that and a chance to travel more
Need a "How NOT to travel Australia” just so Tom gets to travel Australia while writing it off as a business expense🤷♂️
I've been at that exact point on Silverstone! The track organised a cycling sportive around it a couple of years ago, you could do 8 laps of the track on your bike for 50 quid.
Loving the idea, and also actually like the increased music volume :)
Tom I posted a thread on Reddit a while back with an idea in which you try to solve a tough Geodetective or two using only information that you can find in books. Figured maybe a library (even Brum library) would allow you a private space to film for a couple of hours at an off peak time maybe? Or maybe there's a private study area you can book. Just a thought :)
That’s awesome
Maybe you should use these Johnson rules on the "All the Wetherspoons" game, so you mark all the pubs you passed out in. 😂
Learning the US/CA area codes (e.g. 360 at 11:09 ) has to be worthwhile, I think :) Great show again, what a brilliant variation this is.
"Oh no, I've been to Norway, haven't I?"
*flashbacks to that time you almost died*
Every video I watch, I always wonder if the Isle of Man will pop up. Then you just subtly mention you’ve done a race here. Amazing! Look forward to it! 🙂
Loved this, super interesting to hear your stories and reasoning for where u went. It would be more fair on you if you went for an Europe only map though or simply Great Britain
Boring
Hes definately picking his next trips and holidays purely for a second episode of this lol
The music is a vibe. I wouldn’t mind if it was consistently at this volume
Now we need a straightline mission across Australia so you can get a better score next time
Awesome idea, and brilliant to see you look at these comments enough to pick out ideas like this!
Awesome concept. This is what I was thinking after seeing CG and Z8 play the "play until I've been there" variant.
I absolutely love this concept. Well done.
I love this way of playing! This will encourage more travelling for sure
My brother, you've got the intelligence and charisma to host an actual travel show. Cheers.
That first round - I've been fortunate enough to drive the Silverstone circuit so would be max points for that one
This was a fun one to play along with as you went! Because for some of them, I was just as close, if not closer than you. But on others I would look at Kenya, think it was Baja California, and put myself in Puerto Peñasco, Mexico 😂
For future reference if you see bright orange in the USA (such as on the flag) there's a good chance you're in tennessee
When Tom was describing the rules, my first thought was I'm never going to get close to any of these. The very first one I've stood on that exact spot and been a few yards away several times
I grew up on the Isle of Man - can't wait to see the challenge video!
I've been to quite a few very remote and obscure locations (80 country high points, 107 countries) around the world that would certainly be quite a challenge 😂 Keep up the good work!
username checks out......
The things Tom will do just so he can put a holiday to Australia on business expenses 😂
I would love to see more of this concept!
This was a super cool video. Would love to see more like this!
The neon American flag you saw was an orange university of Tenn, w/ the orange T logo replacing the stars. The "OS" logo on the back of the black SUV was for Oregon St. Some random American uni clues.
I was looking for this comment hahaha
I'm honestly surprised you've never been to Asia. Get to Japan stat, it's absolutely amazing! Enjoyed this new style of play, hope to see it again.
I thought this sounded like a pretty bad idea for a video, due to exactly what we saw with the numerous Mauritius guesses, but it was surprisingly fun to watch. Although as a man who hates travelling (for the logistics, not the cultural experiences), I won't be trying this ruleset out for myself.
Grew up one village over from Silverstone, worked there as a kid at weekends and holidays.
Have also cycled the circuit a few times too so a nice 5000 for me.
Only other round I could pip you would be the Sri Lanka round with Bangkok.
Love the challenge concept!
I am from Mauritius, and I am absolutely cracking up 🤣
Music really not for me but not a deal breaker, will always watch your stuff!
Such a great idea. Really like the amount of reasoning needed to get a good score!
This would require very little for me having only been to two countries! But I think the more you’ve traveled the harder it gets, until a certain point above which you start to gain an advantage. I’d love to see one of the maths channels do some calculations on where that sweet spot lies.
As a general hint for Sweden (and Denmark), a lot of the signs are colored like the flags. So in the Malmö location you can see a stripped yellow and blue sign (which would have been red and white in Denmark).
FLORIDSDORF ON THE MAP!!! man this is soo crazy, was watching your video randomly, and not only my city, but you zoom in on the district i live in, could even see the street i live in haha, thanks!
This was a lot of fun, I think it deserves at least a part 2. Maybe you can get to 20,000 and call it a day.
Didn't expect to see silverstone at the start, as you asked, yes I have infact been on the exact spot on the track.
Tom: "I've never been to Africa"
Also Tom: "I went to Mauritius on my honeymoon" 😂😂
🇲🇺🦤
Mauritius might be slighlty attached to Africa socially but it's 1800 miles away, I would say it's not Africa, but something of it;s own, an island in the indian ocean
@@Blackadder75 counted as part of africa everywhere tho
1) It was clear that he was referring to the main landmass
2) Once he realized he had been to Mauritius, he corrected himself. You could hear in the tone of his voice that it was a correction.
@@crashiecorbashie You're missing the forest from the trees. Saying you've been to Africa because you've been to Mauritius is like saying you've been to UK because you've visited Bermuda. Or that you've been to Denmark because you've visited Greenland. Yeah, you might technically be correct, but at the cost of missing the point completely.
"That was one expensive honeymoon, but it's starting to pay off" 😂
What an interesting concept. I’m really not well travelled so I might stick to the Canada map, but I might try this one day
Yet another excellent format. Giving another 'big up' to 40johnson87
Crazy, i've been to that exact spot in Malmö. Never would've thought
Absolutely screaming at the screen on that first on hahaha! My profile picture is literally in that exact spot at Silverstone!
6:15 Tom I can't believe you haven't been to Copenhagen - it's the best city ever
i live about 15 miles from the Tennessee one. kept being like "wow that looks familiar"
Having lived in Pittsburgh for a few years way back in the 1980s I recognized the Western PA landscape of mid century suburbs in rolling hills immediately.
The music is actually pleasant.
Having stood in that exact spot on the track at Silverstone, that would have been a hell of a first round for me!
Every time I see a notification about Tom posting a new video, I watch, I like, and for the duration of time that video is…all is right in the world.
Ah!! Made me happy to see and locate my hometown Malmö in the first game :D I didn’t think it was Malmö but in the same region… hehe but some parts you’re just not that familiar with even though you live there:)
2:10 - people drive around in normal cars. (points to an Aston Martin).....
4:52 - My personal advise - I´ve never seen those yellow signs that you just zoomed in on, anywhere but in Sweden. Some other yellow signs might occur in Finland. I´d love if any Swedes or Finns could either confirm or deny this.
This new take on the game is quite fun, although most of us won´t have traveled too far from home. You could do a Europe one, and completely ace it though.
Finland also has signs with yellow background, including the no-parking zone sign. The real giveaway is the blue and yellow hazard marking. Those are blue and white in Finland, so both are like the flags.
@@alexandernordstrom1617 Likewise red and white in Denmark, just like their flag.
He was being sarcastic
Fantastic idea. I only had one miss I think where I was much closer than I guessed: I had been to Malmö but went Jönköping as a hedge for Sweden (recognisable from blue yellow spiral post next to pedestrian crossing). Otherwise the M1 for Silverstone, Chicago Airport for Tennessee (not sure whether Orlando may have been slightly closer), Trivandrum for Sri Lanka and Vancouver Airport for Portland (I can't remember whether I visited Victoria on Vancouver Island, but I think we kept to the Northern half). 20,050 points. Quite happy. Could have been 750 more with a Malmö plonk.
I grew up 5 minutes from that pin in Charleston! So sorry you took that road up through Holly hill. Truly one of the ugliest parts of Charleston. Great vid!
I used to photograph MotoGP and World Superbikes so yes I have been on that exact part of the track, crossing from the pits to the last corner before the race started.
this was actually pretty fun. ive been around some on vacation and got 13,521 on this. great video man!
Not to doxx myself but it's pretty cool hearing you mention Mount Airy. Lived there for my whole life!
10:49 i clicked on Athens Greece and got 60 points, so you made the right call
Maybe you should do this with a UK map so you'd have a better chance for a good score
Boring
I got my first 'perfect score' with your first game first round - I was on that exact piece of track watching the post-race podium celebration after a track invasion in 2014 or 2016 (one of those)..
I had also sat in the large 'Silverstone' stand around that corner many many times.
The Norway peat bog reference is something Im a big fan of throughout your videos.
Like the format, interesting!
Got me thinking how far are the locations from your house, or childhood house so you’re not showing us all where you live. Would be a terrible score but neat diagram on the map at least 😂
3:34 The second location is Rosengård, Malmö. This is the neighbourhood Zlatan Ibrahimovic grew up in
Its so f'ing gratifying when I have a thought of what I want Tom to do and he does it.
I wouldnt stand a chance against you in a normal geoguessr game, but I knew it was silverstone before I even fully registered what I was looking at. Hearing you say "this isnt Britain" made me audibly gasp.
Can't believe hes pretending he hasn't been to Australia when he just filmed the Australia straight line mission a few weeks ago 😂
?
Hahahaha!
???
Great news! I figured out a 1600km straight line from north to south! Unfortunately you would be very dead by about 100kms in.
!
My eyes lit up straight away as soon as I saw the lit straight for Silverstone, took me 0.001 seconds to know where I was
I might consider marrying myself if it helps me get better at an obscure format in a browser game. What an inspiration you are Tom
11:23 Oregon State logo on the boot lid. Never would have recognized what it stood for but those stickers are SUPER useful on Geoguessr in America!!
Even a more improved version: all you have to do is travel every country that you have not been to, get out at the airport onto the next flight, that way you can choose every country next time
To clear up some of the confusion about the strange flag at 6:53, it is not uncommon to see versions of the US flag with different logos/colors to support different causes. One of the more common ones is fans of various US football teams (especially college football teams) having versions based on their favorite team. The flag at 6:53 is orange and has a Tennessee Volunteers logo in the corner (which is a university located in Knoxville near where the location was). This probably isn’t helpful information to know for Geoguessr, but I thought it was kind of interesting.
Cool new ideas, Love it!
For what it's worth, from my device to my ears the music volume is really nice.
Cool, I live in Waynesboro! Glad it was memorable for you 😀
Fun format, a nice variation could be- you have to have a photo of where you guess
One thing that instantly tells you it's Sweden is if you have road signs with chevrons or diagonal patterns (as there is in this case). They're always in blue and yellow, like the colors on the flag. I don't know if any other country has that, but that combined with the general vibe and look should make it a dead giveaway.
Imagine a RUclipsr with a big channel actually reading comments. And not only that, but comments without a single like. You sir, are a legend.
I was surprised he didn't pick up the Oregon State logo on the back window of that car...
The slightly louder music didn't bother me at all, it's really comforting (and fitting for a background ambient/music)
Amazingly I have been on the track at Silverstone but we weren’t racing, it was a Christmas light show. Love your videos, keep it up
