Addictive! Would make for a great TV app (iOS/Android developer here). Multi-player each with their own controller to collect answers and reveal the winners.

I watched somebody walk around in the rain at night for 10 mins before realizing this is Wordle-but-with-videos. Very peaceful.

Reminds me a lot of GeoGuessr [0], particularly the videos that top competitors make, such as Tom Davies who goes by the moniker GeoWizard [1].

Cool, but... Where am I? I see a video, and some buttons for other locations. But it doesn't show what I am looking at in the current video. Is it a puzzle? You have to figure that out? If so, please say that somewhere.

Yes, the idea is to guess where you are. It keeps track how many you get right.

It took me a while to pick up on that. I first thought I was choosing where to go next. I then wasted a bunch of time on it. Fun.

Haha! Great idea! Thank you for the feedback, I'll try to figure out how to write TV app when there's more time.

I got 32 out of 33 :) The scripts, weather and the people are the telltale clues.
