How can I pay to use a google map!!!!

Absolutely awful since the new time update. Who does this! Taking money to play a game of pin the tail on the google map, Fun game but i should not have to pay to guess the location of a photo on a google map. Disgusting performance and i do not recommend to anyone anymore. Get a grip.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (9):
Kids say (6):

Geoguessr combines intuitive gameplay with an addictive, just-one-more-guess hook. It's a Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? for the modern age, getting rid of narrative and focusing purely on the detective work. Players will gleefully open tab after tab, dissecting and debating the clues offered in each new image and locale. It's instantly fun, and sending challenges to friends makes it more so. Before long, you'll be saying things like, "It's always Australia!" to friends who'll know exactly what you mean.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
