WHERE IN THE WORLD #27

It's time to figure out where in the world I am once again! Grin
And maybe not be somewhere that gets figured out almost instantly...

How It Works
  • You only need to name the country in most cases. Guesses that involve areas such as the USA as the answer will require a state as well due to their large size.

  • Sometimes I might be located on an island, or another location that is not itself a country nor within an actual country. If that location is not a country, then I will treat that location as being the country to which it belongs to as a territory. So if I am located on an island that is a territory of Spain, then Spain will be its country. However, in instances like this, the correct answer can also be the exact territory name if that is given before the name of the country that territory belongs to.

  • Although this is a team based effort when it comes to narrowing down the answer, you will naturally get more points if you assist more in narrowing down the answer.

  • Each participant may ask two yes/no questions to narrow down the country per day; however guessing the country/territory/US state itself by name has no limit. Guessing the country/territory incorrectly will not reward points though, due to the fact it has unlimited tries.

  • Asking a yes/no question that results in an answer that notably gets closer to the destination will reward you with 2 points. A yes/no question that results in an answer that does not notably narrow down the answer will reward you with 1 point. Finding the correct country will reward you with 3 points. As an example, if you asked me "Are you located in the continent of Africa?" and I tell you no, that would be worth 1 point because there are still six continents I could be located on. If I were on that continent though, you would have notably narrowed down the answer to get 2 points.

  • If you have suggestions for this game at all I welcome you to share it. Smile

Here's the photo I took when I arrived at my new location! Where am I?

Bonus: I found this shot of someone's garage door in the USA that I find to be quite ridiculous. ROFL

The street name's there and there seems to be only one. I'll give it a chance for someone else to perhaps not look up the street name and guess where it is. XD

Ya know I saw that street name and my thought was "that's so generic I'm sure there's enough uses of it that it won't lead to an easy answer" and I'm going to continue to huff some hopium that that remains to be the case. Whistle

...See, without even looking into anything, I have a guess as to where you are, but let's drag it out and see where this goes.

Are you in the Americas?

No, but I admit if I was on the playing team for this I would have immediately thought this was somewhere in America too. Tongue
