GeoGuessr has a simple, addictive idea: you're dropped somewhere in the world, you hunt for clues, and you drop a pin on the map. If you've enjoyed it, you may want other ways to play, whether that's more Street View rounds, a quick daily puzzle or a quiz that helps you learn the map.

Clues, pace and company: choosing among GeoGuessr alternatives

These games look similar on the surface, but they test different skills. Before you jump in, think about which part of the GeoGuessr experience you enjoy most.

• The clues. Street View games reward spotting road signs, languages and landscapes. Photo games ask you to read buildings, clothes and cars. Outline games test how well you know the shape of the world.
• The pace. Some games give you a few quick rounds. Others offer one daily puzzle, which suits a coffee break.
• Playing with others. If you enjoy competing, look for rooms, duels or private parties.
• Learning. Map quizzes are less about guessing and more about remembering, which is handy for school or a pub quiz.
• Your device. Check whether the game runs in a browser or needs an app, and whether your phone or laptop can handle it.

Street View explorers, daily puzzlers and map learners

• Street View explorers will feel at home with the games that drop you into a real location.
• Daily puzzle fans can choose the games that offer one new challenge each day.
• Teachers and students may prefer the map quizzes, which make learning places feel like a game.
• Photo detectives should look at the games built around old and new pictures.
• Group players should pick something with rooms or shared links, so everyone sees the same round.

Sign-up, accounts and rooms: GeoGuessr style game checklist

• Does it run in my browser, or do I need to install an app?
• Do I need an account, and what does a free account include?
• Is it a daily game, or can I play as many rounds as I like?
• Can I play with friends, and how do I invite them?
• Does the game have chat, and can I control who I play with?

Spotting clues faster when you guess places on a map

• Look at the whole screen first. Signs, plates, plants and the side of the road all matter.
• Zoom out on the map before you place your pin, and think about the continent first.
• Make a note of the clues that surprised you, so you'll spot them next time.
• Play a few rounds with a friend and compare how you each reasoned.
• Don't worry about scores at first. The learning is the fun part.

Parents, strangers and multiplayer rooms in map guessing games

Most of these games are simple, but some have multiplayer rooms and chat. I haven't read an age rating for every game, so please check each site's rules and settings, and see who your child can play with. Sit alongside them for the first few rounds, if you can.

Where GeoGuessr fans go wrong with similar games

• Expecting an exact copy of the original and feeling let down by different rules.
• Signing up for several games at once and playing none of them for long.
• Skipping the instructions, then wondering why scores feel random.
• Forgetting to check how a multiplayer room handles chat and strangers.
• Overlooking the daily games, which are the easiest to fit into a busy week.

Your next map game after GeoGuessr

Think about what you'd miss most: the exploring, the learning or the friendly competition. Try two games that match, play each for a few days, and keep the one you reach for first. If you'd like a change of pace afterwards, two-player games for one phone is a good place to look.
