How to play l'XGuessr?

It's simple! You will be placed in a random location on the Polytechnique campus. Your task is to guess where you are based on the visual clues around you. You can look around and zoom in if needed to better understand where you are.

Example of the game

Once you think you know where you are, select the location on the map and click on the "Guess" button (or you can alternatively click the space button). After you do your guess, the program will show the real location of the photo on the map, and you will be able to see the distance between your guess and the actual location.

Each round comes with a different location to guess. Each round you can get up to 5000 points: the closer you get to the actual location, more points you get! 😄 The game also offers some additional challenges (time limits, static mode) if you get tired of playing in default mode.

Good luck, and have fun playing! 😊
