Just listen to the words they’re saying. The one I’ve seen before talks you through everything that they’re seeing and what they think.

1) practicing a lot

2) luck

3) knowing basic features of a country. Some countries have identifiable features like license plates, types of vehicles, types of buildings, landscape, signs, etc. If you see words in Spanish you can narrow down your guesses by a lot.

Mostly from context clues like Regional store chains, The look of street signs, visible lettering and stuff of the like

They cheat. They don’t guess and instead research things they see I’m the photo off tab and then use that info to narrow it down.

> a random ass country

Being familiar with foreign languages really helps. Can you tell the difference between Italian, Spanish and Portuguese? What about Chinese, Japanese and Korean? German, Dutch and Danish? I can, but plenty of people can’t. I’ve been on Geoguesser and worked out the country purely by the language of the signs, not even necessarily what they say.

It’s a lot of practice. I’ve watched many people play before, who played a lot. Daily. Over time, you become very familiar with environments, cars, architecture, signs from various countries, etc.
