#112Even without knowing any real hints from the pictures myself, it was still a lot of fun for me refining each guessed location based solely on distances reported on previous guesses. Nice work.

#113I got 0 mi! [1] After the first 2 I stopped attempting cities and figured the picture didn't matter, it was a game of triangulation. Nice game, I like it, even though I've never set foot in the US. [1] Spoilers! - https://i.imgur.com/azCWc3i.png
I did not even notice that it was giving me distance feedback after each guess.

#114My first guess hit 17 miles from the mark.
Maybe that's because I've been there...

#115The most interesting part of this to me is the UX feedback from the comments here. Many people, myself included, say they had no idea at first that the photos were all meant to be from the same location, even though the very first sentence of the instructions was "There are five photos from the same place." I'm pretty sure I read the instructions, I guess that just didn't register? An opportunity to reflect on how ha…

I got 19 miles away with my first guess, the map zoomed in and I thought "that's a weird bug", zoomed it out, and then proceeded to guess other guesses that were hundreds of miles away. Interesting concept, but poorly communicated.

#120This is really cool, great project. I thought the instructions were clear, especially as it obviously follows in the trend of Wordle style games.
Don’t understand the people complaining about the game when it’s their own lack of reading comprehension failing them.
