The hardest way to play Battle Royale Distance...

[@Carrieland]

At this rate, the next upload is gonna see Tom simultaneously playing three games of GeoGuessr Battle Royale while crossing Brazil in a straight-line.

[@NaN-noCZ]

I want him to walk along the trans-Siberian. Sure, he’d probably die, but if he doesn’t, he’s gonna get all the subs, and tons of money for more projects.

[@thatalchemistlady]

This comment reminded me of that Simpsons episode in which Bart plays three games of chess at the same time.

[@GeneralArmorus]

that's something to do right before you retire

[@thumss]

Crossing brazil in a straight line is surprisingly doable. One could do it in 5km or so in the southern most point of the country. Mostly open and flat grasslands.

Should wait until the very end of the timer before making the guess, so that the others don't have time to react if your guess would make them want to make another.

[@zephid11]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@t-movb3969]

On the other hand though they waste their guesses faster if they do. Maybe depending on the situation he can guess using both methods

[@TheBearly]

@@t-movb3969 That's true. The more the others use their guesses early the less they have to spam at the end. If you're confident in where you are, down to where it's unlikely everyone will get a better guess, an early guess would probably be better!

Quick tip for France rounds : roads that start with "D" aren't unique. There are multiple roads marked as D138 because those are limited to departments (think of them as counties), so don't bother searching for them in battle royale unless you're absolutely sure of what department it is haha

I might be misunderstanding how it works, but shouldn't you always enter your guess at the very last moment? If you're only giving yourself one attempt per round, entering your guess before the timer runs out just gives the other players a chance to react and try to overtake you. Good luck in the next one!

[@weegaz22]

But the 9 other players are all playing against each other, so it only takes one to guess right off the bat and then the others will follow to see how far away they are from the top answer, so it probably wont make much of a difference as I see it.

20:45 Some clues there should have been the apartment blocks, which were very South American. Also the width of the road, as well as the amount of lanes and straightness of it, it was obviously a capital or big, largely planned city. The most obvious clue were the buses and bus lanes, though, to me. Instantly recognisable as Bogota's excellent public transport.

[@cameter44]

When you’re doing this mode, you should hold your guess until the last second, particularly in the later rounds. If you put in a guess early, the other people will be able to spam guesses until they get one better than you. If you guess at the last second, they don’t have a chance to see that you’ve passed them and by how many miles and make a guess based on that. It makes it so that if they aren’t really sure and they either put their guesses all in the same (wrong) area or just kind of spread their guesses around everywhere you can sneak in with the closest one at the last second without them having a chance to respond to your guess.

[@GhislainTaddei]

17:44 Hi Tom, FYI, road numbers in France starting with a D are known as Routes Départementales. Départements are small pieces of land (there are around 95 of them in Metropolitan France). You will find a road named « D1 » or « D144 » or « D820 » in almost all départements. So it is useless to search for « D138 » unless you know in which département you are in. You can know the département by different hints such as the departement number, or a big city nearby that could indicate more or less which departement you are in. Good luck!

[@SidKneeGeo]

The temptation to move must be incredible

[@Muzikrazy213]

Actually not. When he played with the highly skilled geoguessr community, he was so accustomed to not moving, he forgot he could move in the first few rounds. Then that overload of information actually stunted him a bit and he was much more comfortable and noticeably better once he was in the NMPZ rounds.
