Geoguessr is a simple game that drops students into Google Earth street view and then asks, where are you? So much of what we need students to be able to do today is to stop and make careful observations about their own and others learning.  This game is a quick and engaging way to start the conversion about making observations.

According to Higgins (2014), “The experience of playing Geoguessr is like survivalist education mixed with a bit of Sherlock Holmes. Students are thrown into a situation — in this case a place — and must think their way through it. They need to unpack the mystery of the Street View image, identifying, classifying, and evaluating its clues, and making deductions from them.” Check out more about Geoguessr in his article titled A Deceptively Simple Game That Teachers Students to Ask the Right Questions.
