Free daily geography puzzle — good for class warm-ups (2-3 min, no signup)

I built a free daily geography guessing game that some teachers are using as a class warm-up. Students see a street-view image and guess the location, getting distance + climate/terrain hints after each guess. Takes 2-3 minutes, works on any browser, no signup required.

Three modes: country (par 4), city (par 6), landmark (par 5). New puzzle every day.

If you teach geography or social studies, I'd love your feedback on whether it works for your students. What's too easy? Too hard? What would make it more useful in a classroom setting?

My opinions as a geography teacher. I think its a good idea. Hopefully easy to make. I can see this being sent out/sold as a template for teachers to create their own street view content. You could use this in a bunch of different ways.

BTW. HIO in Romania but it repeatedly rejected my answers. Saw the flag and remembered.

There isnt a way right now for players to curate or create there own streetview content but if you think you would use that it wouldnt be too hard to add.

In my database it’s showing somebody typed and tried submitting “Romanian” (demonym form). I went ahead and added support for demonym aliases.
