About TorontoGuessr
How to Play
TorontoGuessr is a game that tests your knowledge of Toronto's streets and neighborhoods. You'll be shown images from around the city, and your task is to guess where the photo was taken.
- You'll see a Toronto street scene
- Use context clues like architecture, landmarks, and surroundings to guess the location
- Click on the map to place your guess
- Submit your guess to see how close you were
- Score is based on distance from actual location
- Complete 5 rounds to finish a game
The closer your guess, the more points you'll earn. A perfect guess (within 100 meters) earns 5000 points. Points decrease with distance, and guesses more than 2km away earn 0 points.
