I love how everybody (including me) trying Wrong Country Challenges just accepts that you can't guess in the ocean next to the country. would be clearly beneficial eg at New Zealand. But nobody does it
Also usually 12 nautical miles of the oceans/seas area around the country technically belongs to this county so it would leave the room for arguments I think
Even if you exclude the ocean wouldn't guessing Norfolk Island group be better than guessing the Australian mainland? I guess if it's in the south of South Island Tasmania is a little better.
for the ecua/colo round, two things are worth noting that could've helped: a) there is a variant of the ecuadorean flag that doesn't include the coat of arms, and it's used pretty frequently within the country itself; b) at 5:01, the sign you zoom in on has the logo of the ecuadorean province of manabí in the top left
at the 7:00 I was " oh that is Bulgaria " and he just goes like " France, Spain, Andorra " legit had me like " yo wtf, the vegetation is Bulgarian, so is the railing on the road " and he got completely slapped there, lmaoo
010 are Korean mobile numbers, which are quite commonly posted on small businesses. Landline area codes for the southeast corner would actually be 05x--difficult to tell from a zoomed out map whether you were in Daegu proper (053), Gyeongnam (055) or Gyeongbuk (054). In Korea, area codes always start with 0 and local phone numbers never do!
22:46 You are not the only one who can't say what country the Spratley Islands belong to - Brunei, China, Malaysia, Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam ALL claim all or most of them...
On the first game, the opponent guessed right country but should've won. The game mode would be exciting if you can risk guessing right country to win but then still get the wrong continent punishment if you didn't get enough points to have won.
I've never been dropped in a location that I could very well 5k but that Moab one at 8:35 is definitely one simply because I've been there and it's super distinct.
Wouuld be interesting to see a duel where winning is actually loosing, so everyone just tries to be as far away as possible, altho at a high level of play that might just be boring cuz no one gonna take a decent amount of damage
It would be kind of funny to see how high the multiplier would climb. I'm new to Geoguessr, but could you theoretically get 40x or 50x damage? It would be slow early game, but seeing the insane multiplier would be worth it at least once
Guessing the correct country could actually be a strat. Just have to hope you do enough damage and take the win before having to guess the wrong continent the next round.
Don't know the reasoning behind a vast majority of these eg "Oh it's definitely Mexico" or "Bangladesh" just from turning around. I know you have to get it quickly but would've helped not just seeing names pop up out of nowhere
11:15 I think it's only the area codes that are relevant, but in this case they were omitted. I'm pretty sure you can find the 0XX-600s anywhere in SK and in this case it would be 053 or 055.
You should try playing competitive where you can only guess in country capitals. Or only guessing in water, you can limit yourself to only ocean, lakes and ocean, or rivers, lakes, and ocean.
not a fan of this tbh, on the one hand its good that this would increase the potential for right country guesses, on the other hand it limits your possible hedging spots too much i think
What happens, if you guess in the wrong country, you guess in the wrong continent next round. What happens, if on that next round, you happened to guess on the right continent?????

ACW Moment
what does acw means?\
@@ibatibangbidyonahangosaint908 acw stands for "a community world" which is a world map of 100k+ handpicked locations, which we played our games on

including the ocean might spice it up a little bit though

2:44 I was hoping he'd guess in Vatican City lol
25:00 the Eastern side of Finland is generally the "hillier" side. Western side is very flat other than in the very north.
watching this two years later is so wholesome. Young Oscar with the early cam feels nostalgic already
rainbolt should definitely do a tournament that’s like this
would be fun, but i think as soon as you get 2 or more players per team youre gonna get the same 2 hedging spots every game
It would be cool for a single player mini-tournament. Or if it's multiplayer both players have to pick different countries.
I agree, that would be very fun
I changed my mind, it would be too ez for Friend 1 and 2
I ate both of my twix bars while watching this video
nice
Geoguessr but you can only go in capital cities

Really good video! Would love to see you do this again either with Lennli or with a different opponent. Really great concept!
certainly!
Yes, a duel series would be fun. :)
Nice concept!
For New Zealand, especially the north island, you have the Norfolk Island which is better than mainland Australia.
true!
what an interesting and fun idea!! this was awesome to watch
"This pole here looks quite Argentinian as well"
I don't really focus on phone numbers, and i'm fascinated how it can actually help a lot. I just never realize it's significance.
14:45 is that not literally Walt and jesses van from breaking bad.
Edit: it’s literally near alberqurque New Mexico too! 🤯🤯
:thinking:
why are all Australians so handsome
Great concept - keep up the good vids!
both got within 2km of my house right there 19:11
At around 17:00 that green county sign is specific to Ohio as well.
when you're doing wrong country challenge and its in southwestern serbia and you worry for the happiness of all your serbian and kosovoan viewers
I've never been dropped in a location that I could very well 5k but that Moab one at 8:35 is definitely one simply because I've been there and it's super distinct.
nice! cool spot
Insane been here since 9k bro so good!
Great content again! Also you’re close to 20K 👍
Q: Learning Brazilian phone codes really improved my gameplay, for what other countries learning the phone codes is really useful?
USA but that would be extremely difficult since there's so many and no rhyme or reason. If India gets finished I would say that would be #1
Japan defo, Russia could be good but really hard. France/ Turkey are some other easy and worth ones
True but you don't see those posted as often. You always see phone numbers in the countries I posted
Its super helpful for Andorra, it helped me to not lose many points in andorra rounds 👌🏼
when will the giveaway results come out

This would make a great tournament format...
This was sick to watch
Love the wrong country challenge!! Great vid zig!!
great video! nice ideas as usual, keep it up!!
Guessing the correct country could actually be a strat.
Just have to hope you do enough damage and take the win before having to guess the wrong continent the next round.
Love this idea especially against other people
What does acw mean?
its just the map, a community world
A Community World map
love your content keep up the great work love from norway
All of those Southern Japanese Islands are part of Okinawa prefecture :)

12:48 u put ur marker in bolivia, shouldnt u have had to guess in a different continent the next round?
that was so much fun to watch!!
Great video zigzag!
More wrong country challenge content please 🙏🙏🙏
your wish is my command

You call this a challenge? I can do this without trying

yeah that was a blunder
