I actually started to believe you had the right place when you found that stadium

As an Aussie I was on the verge of jumping off my seat when you said 'oh this looks like a significant building'.

[@futureworld2936]

In Russia, olympic rings are just a popular thing to put as a decoration on sport related buildings. It doesn't mean it's related to Olympics in some way

[@outrageouselefant]

have they no respect for the authority of international copyright court?!

[@jaj040]

I was think maybe an Olympic training site.

[@Hubert4515]

same here in europe

[@carterhickman2730]

Could it be also because Pavel Kulizhnikov (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavel_Kulizhnikov) is from this town? I did some reading on Vorkuta after this video and it's super interesting

[@kabyzdoch]

​@@carterhickman2730 don't know about any kulizhnikov guy, but olympic rings was used all over ussr in almost any sport related place. in colleges and schools, stadiums and pools, in cities, towns and villages - everywhere. i don't know if it became popular after 1980 olympic games hosted in ussr, or if it was all over the place even before it, but yeah. i'm sure it's not because of any particular person that lived nearby - it's like an overall sportsmanship spirit symbol or smth

I got 5000 points on that round in 1 min 54 seconds. Think that's the quickest I'll ever get in this challenge.

[@dwagon41]

21:47 In the US, the small satellite dishes all point towards just south of Texas, as the satellites they use are in geosynchronous orbit near there. On the last one(house on the left at the timestamp), it is pointing southeast and pretty much straight up, so you know it's both northwest of there, and relatively close.

[@MegaPhester]

Now this is good info!

[@antimatter2417]

Damn, that's very cool way of figuring things out

[@Fox0412]

Alright I got an incredible round here, I had th share this before even watching the video actually 1. Immediatly recognized the Faroe Islands, took me some time to find the right city until I finally found one with the right geographical features (both land and waters) and the unmissable football pitch. Still landed a bit far from the actual location since the road we're in is not on the map, but got 5,000 nonetheless. 2. Again, an immediate reaction that it would be extremely far north in Russia. I zoomed in somewhere, saw a city, looked around and... I don't know how, but I found a street corner that exactly matched the picture. 5,000 points out of nowhere. 3. I knew that building was in Canberra so I found the street pretty quickly - but where exactly ? I spotted the two buildings north of us, the one with pink trees and the one that looked a tad Asian; I saw on the map that the embassies of Japan and Thailand are next to each other, so it was easy then to pinpoint the place. 5,000 points. 4. Thought France at first (I'm French), hesitated a bit with Italy but the small signs on the garage doors were in French. Very light colors like that means South-East of France and it seemed like a big and... dirty, city. I thought of Marseille, and saw that there was something on the street signs above the actual street names. Couldn't read it of course since they're far, but it made me think of possibly and arrondissement number - and only three cities in France have them : Paris, Lyon, Marseille. I chose a spot there, 6km away. 4,979 points. 5. My first guess was a big city in the US and the few signs in English confirmed it to me. I saw the "3rd St." South of us, a road that would be horizontal on the map. It seemed like a very hot place: palm trees, cacti, even a dead cactus. I looked in Vegas, LA, San Diego, Phoenix, Albuquerque, El Paso, San Antonio, but all of the "13th St" in these cities were either vertical or named another way (the one in LA I think). I kept looking, went to Tucson, finally found a 13th street the way I wanted it and landed there... One street away from the actual point, incredible. 71 meters for 5,000 points again. Total for me is 24,979 and a new record on the Urban World map!

[@GeneralArmorus]

[@bennikk]

Icelander here; I was so sure you were in Iceland. I guess i never realized how much Faroe Islands look like Iceland. Good job mate

[@georgekotz2134]

1st Round: Funny how the Faroe Islands have such a characteristic landscape, you can quickly recognise it if you've seen it before! - 5000 points 2nd Round: I was able to tell this was the far north of Russia, not just because of the piles of dirty snow that have apparently been there for many months, but also because of the trees: You can see they all look somewhat stunted, not exceeding a certain height, as is typical of the harsh climate at the edge of the tundra. One of the only Russian cities with street view coverage so far north is Vorkuta, and I was able to spot the stadium and get the exact location. - 5000 points 3rd Round: You can get a good clue that this is Canberra by looking closely at the entrance to the building straight north: There is the flag of another country (Thailand as it turned out) meaning this is probably an embassy, hence we are in the capital! The important building at the end of the avenue had to be the parliament then, and the rest was not too difficult. - 5000 points 4th Round: There is a distinctly Mediterranean feel, and French writing on a "No Parking" sign confirmed that this is southern France. The somewhat gritty look of the city made me think this has to be a port rather than one of the resort cities of the French Riviera, so I went for Marseille. Looking down the street to the southeast you can tell that we are on the north-facing slope of a hill, so I was able to spot the exact location. - 5000 points 5th Round: The vegetation made me think of Southern California, but the only other specific clue being the "13th St" sign, there was too little to go on... Disappointed to have missed the chance of a perfect score, I just clicked randomly in Los Angeles. - 3022 points Total: 23022 points. Definitely a hard game, with no giveaway clues on any round! Very enjoyable nevertheless! Keep the videos coming!

[@eyefinity3993]

Damn you're good

[@ChiragBharadwajYT]

I also guessed SoCal for the fifth one! I totally thought it was a suburb of Los Angeles and looked carefully for a 13th Pl/St but could only find a Pico Blvd between 12th and 14th. Hoped for the best but was sad to see that it was Arizona. Didn't really expect that much vegetation/somewhat green stuff in Arizona. Also that one house's arches totally liked like a California thing.

[@wduncanator]

There's no way you knew that town in far north of Russia. Don't believe it for a second

[@GrapeappleTree]

@@wduncanator what's there not to believe? It's one of only few places that's been mapped, hence only a few places that far north that can actually be in this game then...Vorkuta seems to pop up most of them all, so it's a logical place to start if you think Siberia-ish region

[@jeffpape6519]

Crazy that that Bulgaria guess correlated so much!

I think the siberian Vorkuta place used to be a big soviet labour camp where the would send war prisoners etc.

[@OKANGUVEN99]

@@kaukon i mean who isn't a prisoner would go to a cold hell hole in the middle of nowhere so you're probably right imo

[@bobrulz]

I'm in 11th place so far, which I can be satisfied with - 17,746 points. On the first one I clicked an area that somewhat correlated in Iceland. I did consider Faeroe Islands, but I guess I didn't think he would have any town but Torshavn. I should know better lol You killed me with that 2nd pick man. No way anywhere in Bulgaria would look that cold and desolate and just...sad. I was surprisingly close to the right town in northern Russia, got about 3,000 points. I had a similar thought process as you on the Australia one, so I guessed western Sydney. I guessed southern Italy for the 4th one. D'oh! I'm really proud of myself on the 5th one - it helps that I'm from the western U.S., but I investigated a few towns in California and Arizona and found the exact spot based on 13th street and surrounding buildings/road layout. 5,000 points! Can't wait for that 10 state challenge! That's got to be even more difficult than the 10 country challenge, since there's really nothing that distinguishes so many states from each other.

Everything about that place was Marseille! The hilly streets, rubbish bins, Mediterranean buildings, not too much greenery, and a frigging silhouette of Notre-Dame de la Garde on the van!

that olympic stadium round was the best thing ive ever seen on this channel. i would have been willing to bet money on you having cracked it as it correlated so perfectly! had a good laugh. i think there was a similar situation in another video some time ago. soon u might be able to put together a 'sane guesses compilation', u know, like the insane guesses one but opposite.

[@Radosaint]

I can't believe you thought bulgaria in the second round. I've never been there, but that was the most russian looking area.

[@yaranw5274]

I just played one of my craziest games yet. A grand total of 22177 points. #1. I started off really poor, I saw a sticker on the car saying ''condoms prevent minivans'' (lol) which threw me off completely. Where I initially thought about Iceland and Faroer, I ended up going for northern Scotland just due to a simple english sticker. 3555 points. 497km off. #2. The Soviet buildings and the wasteland they were surrounded by made it clear that it was northern Russia (for me at least hahah). I went all the way up in Russia and randomly picked one of the bigger cities. With a lot of luck I managed to guess the correct city. 4992 points. 2.3km off. #3. Had to be Australia, no idea where though. For some reason I ignored the mountains and went for Melbourne. Still not too bad for Australia I guess. 3641 points. 446 km off. #4. I have gone over the whole of France twice looking for a town starting with Se as that's all I managed to read off the sticker on the van. Couldn't find anything sadly. The city looked like the south of France though and (in my opinion) looked a bit poorer than usual in the Cote d'Azur. Therefore I went for Marseille as it's a bit more rough than other cities in that area. 4994 points. 1.6 km off. #5. Looked like Arizona/New Mexico to me due to the dryness and the buildings. I looked for 13th street/avenue in Phoenix first but that didn't add up as it had to be a horizontal street instead of vertical. The next city I looked into was Tucson, the street was horizontal here so I went for it. 4995 points. 1.5 km off. Overall great game with a lot of luck. But I'm very happy with my score nonetheless :)

[@jordanbobrowski5542]

That Australia round hurt to watch haha

[@Andreas4696]

I guessed Australia instantly because it is AFAIK the only country crazy enough to put bike lanes next to high speed, high capacity roadways.

[@davissae]

Tom: sees American desert foliage: guesses a lush green city.

[@larsn0va]

My game: 1: 2166. Picked some random town on the northwest coast of Norway. I didn't even know the Faroe Islands existed. 2: 4990. Big frozen dirty ice on the ground = Vorkuta. 3: 4250. Like you I picked a westbound highway out of Sydney. 4: 3415. Went La Teste-de-Buch, southwest of Bordeaux. Somehow peeking out of the alley I thought that the apartments looked like they were facing the water, so I needed it to be on the west coast of France, in the south due to the climate. Unfortunately I forgot France has a second "west coast" on the south coast. 5: 2544. Went Salt Lake City, dumbly. The palm trees made me nearly pick Phoenix but I thought it didn't look hot enough to be Phoenix so I went north. Oh well, still a pretty good game. Total: 17365

[@Baronovic]

The green sticker on the Citroen Berlingo is the skyline of Notre dame de la garde cathedral. And this style of messy little street is so typical of Marseille... any Frenchmen would have bet on Marseille I would say

[@vaaggasje]

You need to up your France game mate, you're always way off in France. If it is French but the buildings are brown, you're in Belgium. Normandy and Brittany look a lot like southern England but sunnier and more flowerly. South West of France has a Basque feel to it. North East of France seems a bit German, Swiss or luxemburgian but the buildings are usually more yellowy or beige. South East of France looks like Italy but the colour of the buildings is lighter, white or beige (in Italy it is more orange, light brown, red). Every in between is a mix of these depending of where you are (except for Paris). Also French liscense plates used to be white in front and yellow on the back. 10 years ago they changed it to all white.

[@SamuliTuomola_stt]

Being very into aviation and flight sim in younger years that is Faroe Islands main airport indeed, Vagar Airport. In fact only airport I am sure, but there are some helipads I think thought in other places. I use to fly there sometimes since I liked going to off the beaten path places a lot. I used Isle of Man as a base and Southampton a lot too. But I am American from Spokane, WA. But being into aviation is almost a geographical subset too. As you learn about where all the biggest airports are correspond to huge cities and then learn how busy and where smaller ones are and it snowballed for me into they come hand in hand pretty much. I just don't play flight sim anymore really but that doesn't mean someday I wouldn't get back into it, but I am still into aviation and of course the reason I am here, geography. As far as more info on the Vagar Airport I recall its not on the island the largest town is on because of course the terrain is very hilly and hard to find flat surfaces to put an airport. So the airport is on a site they could fit one which wasn't on the main towns island. Which without even looking up I know is Torshavn. I know there is an accent symbol in it I think but oh well lol.

Round 1: Condoms prevent minivans? 😂

[@Milbrandt]

Yeah I noticed that too. And we were on Ovary street as well.

[@Milbrandt]

1: Found it roughly the same way you did, 5000 pts. 2: Reminded me of another round we once had in/near Vorkuta (with the blackened snow). Found the stadium, verified with the buildings, 5000 pts. 3: Spent way too much time looking for this. I went for Brisbane and was surprised it was so far south. 2552 pts. 4: Also found the reflection in the other car. Looked like Sera-something, also a .fr website. I settled for a place called Serignan, near Beziers. 4436 pts. 5: Tuscon was an edumacated guess. Found 13th street and went for it. Still 2 km off, 4993 pts. Total: 21981. Pretty happy with my score, and 9th place so far. The only guess I'm really disappointed with is round 3.

[@ChiragBharadwajYT]

My performance: Round 1: Didn't quite pinpoint Faroe Islands like you did haha. Managed to guess Norway like you pointed out, and thought I found an inlet that made sense. Was actually quite a ways off. 2874/5000. Round 2: Correctly guessed Russia, but I thought it was a lot closer to Moscow. Didn't realize how far north it was since the mountains didn't look that snow-capped in the distance... I guess it was summertime? 1671/5000. Round 3: I guessed Eastern Sydney, found a stretch of highway that made sense but Canberra oh man! Good round, 4195/5000. Round 4: Saw the Citroen and the building architecture, guessed Southern France like you did. Didn't think that the sea was quite that close -- I actually went slightly northeast of Marseille, in a small city near the mountainous region. Also tried to read the reflection of the government vehicle in the car on the right, but didn't make much headway since I didn't use a mirror =P. 4586/5000. Round 5: Car on the right, English writing on the signs. Guessed USA/Canada initially. Then I saw the palm trees and thought California/Hawaii (building style is very California though). "13th Street" made me think we were in a grid-like small city block, but I still wasn't sure where in California. I went around the various suburbs of Los Angeles looking for somewhat sketchy places like Compton, etc. I settled for a 13th Street near an elementary school in a small suburb in SoCal. Didn't expect it to be Arizona wtf. 3011/5000. Overall: 16337/25000. Not bad for my first go at one of these after months of watching you. I'm hoping to improve next week. Cheers man.

[@kristianminkov9631]

I am a bulgarian facepalming at your 2nd guess mate. First - no Bulgaria has not hosted olympics, 2nd no that piling of snow is not something happening often here. You even clicked on my hometown ( Blagoevgrad) for your guess and it was pretty funny coz where you were looked nothing like it.

Got a total of 18,214 on this. 1. I could just make out some text saying "Føroyar" on a car. I could only find tiny places on the map so I went for Torshavn (4,899) 2. I just zoomed in on some northern Russian town AND I PICKED THE RIGHT ONE! (4,997) 3. Rookie mistake, didn't look at the traffic. Went for Vancouver. It was not, but somehow I earned one point. 4. Read some French on a car, went for Marseille. Could've gone closer to the center (4,990) (France used to have yellow plates btw) 5. Went for San Diego (3,327)

My closest guesses were round 1 and 5, I got Iceland and then Phoenix (172 km off) 11.468 points total. I've never been too good at this but I'm learning more by each video of yours. What small details to keep in mind! I've never really traveled so nothing really looks familiar to me.

[@Brax1982]

1: Picked Iceland, because I thought there was less of a chance for a football pitch on Faroer...as it turns out, this was apparently not on the map, so it could be a recent additon. 2904 2: This was a stupid one. I figured it was the far north of Russia, but didn't click anywhere close to enough in the north. As soon as I clicked, I remembered a former round I've seen in or near Vorkuta. I also have no idea how you get Bulgaria from that, much less Sofia. 3120 3: Went for Longreach. Didn't recognize the building, obviously. 1842 4: That shot is now completely different, so I didn't mess around with that van in any way, because it just wasn't there. The buildings looked French-African to me, so I thought Tunisia and picked Sfax. 2360 5: My impression was somewhere between California and New Mexico. I should probably have picked the LITERAL inbetween, then...instead I went for San Diego. 3341 Total score is 13567 aka rubbish. Barely places me in Top500...

[@rorybessell8280]

Just played along with you. For the last round, I had a feeling it was near Mexico and searched for cities with a 13th avenue. Found one and just kinda guessed the road coming off it (it seemed to correlate). Turns out I got it bang on, craziest guess I've ever had. Also, I'm from NZ and have never been to the US so had no knowledge to go off.

19917. I 5k'd rounds 1, 3 and 5. The mixture of white (ACT) and yellow (NSW) number plates suggested we were in Canberra, and there was only one road that matched.

Problem is, it was the other side of Russia from where I guessed. 585 points. Round 3 - Complete guess in Australia. But I guessed near Brisbane. 2591 points. Round 4 - Knew it had to be around the Mediterranean. Should've guessed France because of the Citroen but I guessed in Spain. 2950 points. Round 5 - This one was just complete luck. It felt like the southern US to me and I saw a 13th Street sign. I just picked Tuscon at complete random, found 13th Street and noticed that building silhouettes on the map matched nearly perfectly to what I could see in street view. 5000 points. In conclusion, 16,126 points. Damn you Russia!

First time I beat you, by little though (16057). 1. I went for Iceland :/ 2. Went for northern Russia, but about 1000 KM away. 3. I picked somewhere around Melbourne, the funny thing is I have visited Canberra about 20 years ago and I didn't recall that structure. 4. Went for Toulouse 5. Looked for an East/West 13th street in major California cities, no luck, then started moving eastward and Denver seemed convincing. :/

[@dangerkeith3000]

You can tell it's probably not California by the houses. They looked like they were made from adobe or modelled after adobe homes, which is very popular in Arizona and New Mexico.

[@SkiDaBird]

I lived in Blago for 4 months, was pretty funny to see that one.

[@urbanindy3843]

No matter how you do with the 10 state challenge, you'll probably fare better than I do at England.

[@ivo3111]

Thanks to an insane 5k guess on that Marseille round, I beat your score!

[@PatrikS1994]

22:16. Look at the tree to the right and tell me that doesn't look like Harambe. RIP.

[@ChoiceDK]

I'm so happy I wasn't the only one who noticed that. Kind of scary actually.

[@lodiped]

oh my god. I landed in that EXACT SAME SPOT in Marseille some time ago and I spotted that reflection as well, the website up there. Perfect. What are the freaking odds?

[@Der.Preusse]

Considering there are a limited amount of spots in "an urban world" the odds are not that ridiculous.

[@MrWowh]

Wow that Bulgaria one fit wayyyyyyyy too well

[@EuphoricAmbient]

Cmon mate that was the Parliament House!!!!!!

[@oskarrask9413]

you are the best, love this channel

[@emmettbyrne9835]

That Bulgarian guess 🤣

[@robertmorgan1008]

Be careful not to run into the respected gentleman in the lake district. THIS IS A GUEST HOUSE IN WINDERMERE!

[@rubylynch7540]

haha i really laughed when u were so sure about round 2...and it was siberia all along

[@JV-the-Tossh]

1. Yeah, with that street name, it was either Icelandic or Faroese, I punted for Icelandic, because I was unsure if Streetview had went to the Faroe Islands. Kinda gutted. 2. Better, this. Slavic, slightly dilapidated, clearly left behind a bit. I remember something about the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo, Bosnia, so I went looking for a stadium there. The '84 facilities were famously abandoned, so... Yeah, better reasoning, but result was only marginally better. God dangit, Soviet Russia, for putting Olympic rings on that godforsaken stadium. 3. I've been to South Africa, and yet I still mix it up with Aussie-land from time to time. Luckily I caught it this time. Ended up somewhere in Adelaide, though, so... 4. Gut feeling was Southern Italy here, so went looking for somewhere starting with 'S' around those parts. Lots of mopeds and the sandstone pointed me that way. Found myself in Salerno. I didn't spot the mirroring, but looking at that, I thought that said something like "Sorrentum", so would have went with Sorrento based on that. Was too sure of it being Italy, I guess. 5. Yeah, US, either a suburb or a smallish city. I thought Australia briefly 'cause of palms and sandy territory, but then that thought sent me to Arizona/New Mexico. They look a bit Australian. I was in Flagstaff, Arizona, though. Only round I was kinda close in, though. Bit disappointed with this.

[@tikimandalawoldberg8880]

2nd one, the Siberian one, was the same city we had to guess a few episodes ago when you went for Kyrgyzstan (I believe). There are a few Google mapped Syberian towns and they are very distinct in look. Check it out. Next time you will not look anywhere else.

[@almightysosa3007]

Lmao the spot in Tucson was like half a mile away from where I used to live when I went there for College. I knew instantly it was Tucson but I can give you some slack for guessing California, I just would’ve thought more San Diego

[@bosshuxley4933]

Me after 10 minutes : where the fuck is this .. The wizard after 10 seconds : Right so it's looks like we're in the Faroe Islands

[@davissae]

Going Bulgaria? I can’t believe you’ve done this.

[@ole7762]

Old school french cars have a yellow numberplate on the back and a white one on the front

[@Will97G]

i refuse to believe you just assumed faroe islands , went in and found the street name?? LIKE WHAT

[@antimatter2417]

Yea that was crazy idk how he does it

[@Andreas4696]

I actually thought Faroe Islands as soon as I saw it. You just have to look at the general vibe of the place. Large cliffs around the place, coastal and with almost no trees, you might think Iceland. Then you have to look at the buildings. Iceland has very spaced out buildings, while the Faroe Islands tend to have more denesly built towns. That distinguished them for me. Wouldn't have guessed Norway, because, well, I live here and it looks nothing like that.

[@MorningNapalm]

Yeah, I was furious, I was certain he was cheating.

[@simono.899]

Every small village on the faroe islands has a football pitch so that small pitch isnt even near the national stadium

[@marklykkebak8104]

Getting a perfect score on the first one is ridiculous. I've barely even heard of the Faroe Islands, let alone being my very first inclination. WTF.

[@martinhovden5207]

Really? Your last name looks Scandinavian are you american?

[@xaninator]

Olympic rings could also just mean it is somewhere that the olympic team trains

[@JEBubble2]

Play ‘A complete world,’ photospheres and hard street views. Basically better version of a diverse world

[@armwrestlingfan6804]

I got a perfect score on faroe islands and then it all went to shit lol Went with Eastern Russia all the way.. But did anyone see the face in that tree on the tuscon round? Looked like freaking Bob Ross. I'm tripping...

[@ZiomekPatrykC]

Idk if you remember, but it's at least the second time you got Vorkuta, so maybe they like to include it and maybe it's worth guessing there next time when you get something Siberian-looking ;)

[@danf2980]

Me. Hmm I think this might be northern Norway or something. Let me find a city with a fjord leading out west. GWizard: "Oh, we are in the Faroe Islands!". SMH
