WhereTaken
Look at a photograph and drop a pin where it was taken. Distance from the real spot is the score.
DleBox's guide
WhereTaken, by Teuteuf, shows a photograph and a map. You drop a pin. The score is how far that pin sits from the place the photo was taken. A street sign, a license plate, a plant, or the color of the soil can be the tell. There is often no landmark a postcard would use. The puzzle is closer to looking out a window than to naming a capital.
The daily photo is shared. DleBox does not host the photo and does not give the location. The button opens wheretaken.teuteuf.fr. Worldle gives you a border and asks for a name. WhereTaken gives you a view and asks for a point. You can be in the right country and still be hundreds of kilometers off. That is a normal result, not a bug.
TimeGuessr, in the trivia row, also starts from a photo, and it asks for a year as well as a place. WhereTaken is the place. Mixing the two wastes the clue, because a car's model year is TimeGuessr's business and a guardrail's design might be WhereTaken's. This page will not describe today's photograph.
Rules
- The clue is a photograph.
- You drop a pin on a map.
- The score is distance from the real spot.
- One photo is the daily puzzle.
- DleBox does not locate it.
Why we like it
- ✓ The clue can be a curb or a tree, not a monument.
- ✓ Distance keeps a near miss meaningful.
- ✓ It asks for a point, not only a country name.
Play it when you trust your eye more than your list of countries. A perfect pin is rare. A pin in the right region is the ordinary win. Our hosted Krillion does not show photographs.
A pin in the right country can still be a poor score if the photo was a specific coast. DleBox does not show the photo or the kilometer count. Teuteuf's page drops your pin and draws the gap. We only tell you that monuments are optional. A drain, a bollard, or a species of tree is allowed to be the entire clue, which is why the game is not a capital quiz. Bring patience for an ordinary street, and for a score that is a distance rather than a name.
