Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about how Guessr Place works? You’ll find all the answers here — from game modes and scoring to settings and playing with friends.
Guessr Place is an online game where you attempt to guess real places with Google Street View. It supports different modes like singleplayer games and multiplayer games.
No, you don't have to sign up for the game — you can play immediately. But if you do sign up, you will get to view your stats, be ranked on leaderboards, and play with friends conveniently.
We have different modes of play depending on what you prefer. You can play alone in Singleplayer, against other players in Duel or Battle Royal, or play for longer periods in Classic mode, or invite your friends to a private game with a unique code.
The game is supported by multi-language. You can go to the Settings page where you can select your favorite language. This way, the game becomes more accessible to play irrespective of where you come from.
Your score will depend on how close your guess was to the correct point. The closer your pin is to the right point, the better your score. If you guess exactly correctly, you have the best score possible.
Yes! You can host a Private Game and give a code to your friends so they can enter. This will allow you to play together in the same game, which is a great way to compete or just to explore places as a group.
Absolutely. In case you don't like the background music or sound effects, then just visit the Settings page where you can have a feature to mute or activate sounds at any time. It totally depends on your preference. You are free to choose kilometers or miles in your own settings.
Actually, you can use whatever unit of distance you prefer. Just go to your own preferences and switch between kilometers and miles. Then the measurements are harmonized with what you're used to in real life

Yes! We always welcome hearing from players. If you've found a bug, are experiencing a problem, or have an idea for how we can improve the game, please do get in touch using our feedback form or support page.
If time runs out, your current guess is posted automatically. That is, in case you haven't entered a pin yet, you may get zero for the round. The timer brings a bit of extra challenge and excitement to the game.
That depends on the mode you're playing. A Duel is like, a few minutes, but Classic will be longer because you're estimating more rounds. Private games with friends can also be configured for custom round lengths.
