Real Life Geoguessr - Blindfolded and Dumped in a Random UK Location - PART 1

  • Опубликовано: 18 сен 2024
  • We all know I can play Geoguessr, but what happens when I'm dumped in a random UK location and left to figure out where I am?
    After hand picking 5 locations, Nurse Verity drove me to each one, while I sat in the car blindfolded and somewhat nauseous. She then buggered off, leaving me to figure out where I was, before making my selection on a custom made game of Geoguessr.
    With a fastest time of 10 minutes and 7 seconds for a perfect score on the UK Version of Geoguessr, surely I could hold my own?

    This reminds me of a game my friends and I made up. We called it Get Lost. There were 4-5 of us in a minivan. Everyone but the driver is blindfolded. The driver gets 15 minutes to drive anywhere they want/can. As soon as possible after the 15 minute timer expires, the driver is to park the van. A new driver is elected randomly from the remaining passengers. The old driver is blind-folded and is becomes a passenger for the remainder of the trip. The new driver removes their blindfold and assumes driving responsibilities for the next 15 minutes. Importantly, passengers are NOT to remove their blindfolds until they become driver. Once all participants have taken a turn at the driver role, everyone may remove their blindfolds and the final obstacle is to navigate home. I'll add the rule without the use of smartphones because this game was conceived of before their existence. Enjoy!

    Gotta say Tom, I have been watching this channel for about two years now, and it has been my absolute favourite since I first discovered it. Your content is so unique and funny, and you have a great personality and wit that suits it perfectly. But these irl challenges have been such a step up, and it's so great to see a RUclips channel go from a hidden gem to a genuine success. Seeing you stumble around Europe without a dollar or a clue has honestly been inspiring, and makes me want to do some travelling like that of my own. Only thing is I do miss the regular GeoGuessr vids, but definitely worth it if this and the Europe series are what we get instead. Keep up the good work, cheers from down under.

      Bristol channel area was fine... the Swindon housing estates exemplified the aspects I most hate about the UK. The bleak, depressing, hopeless, rundown, shabby areas that suck the joy out of you by just looking at them.

      ValleysOfRain yeah, couldn’t agree more. Polar opposites. Still, you can be in the middle of one of those grim council estates only to drive for 20 minutes and find yourself out in the sticks.

    Literal genius as a concept. Hopefully you get enough revenue to open this to European countries. Book a premier inn so it can be two days travel, they all look the same anyway ;-)
