I still remember the surreal moment when geoguesser dropped me off 20 odd feet from the back entrance to the building I work in.

Nice touch using Chopin's piece when you were scouring around Poland

Sees billboard full of women in bikinis “A lot of things jump out at me, but...”

"That's hebrew, isn't it...that flag says it isn't" Had me in tears

I used to live in Tel Aviv and I was yelling, "that's Dizengoff St!" The Egyptian flag is because there are embassies in Tel Aviv (as opposed to in Jerusalem - except, recently, for the US Embassy).

I've been living in Ankara for 11 years, and even I cannot pinpoint that location lol. Always a pleasure to see your own city spanking geowiz

The Matejki street sign does make sense, because it represents the road that is parallel to the plane of the sign.

Hi Tom! I have been living in the beautiful city of Ankara for as long as I can remember and one thing I suggest remembering is that cities in Turkey (especially large ones like Ankara) have crowded districts far from the city center (the one you were looking at was Kecioren with an enormous population). Looking at a huge chunk of buildings doesn't necessarily mean that you are looking towards the city center. Other than that keep up the good work! Cheers from Ankara, Turkey

The Szczecin round was very funny. Matejko was a Polish painter and street signs are like this in many Polish cities. (They make the surname bigger, so it's easier to see and the signs are parallel to the streets.)

The Mobistar phone shop in Belgium is taken over by orange, that's why Google maps said it was An orange shop

Well for the last one I was like: This is in Israel, and the one big city I know in Israel is Tel-Aviv, so I just went there.

Lol at editing at looking for the city with the name of the street.

Brussels: * The street name translates to Chicken Market * Mobistar was rebranded to Orange in 2016

Ok guys, I actually did the perfect score. Here's how I got the last two rounds: 4th round: Found the hints for Ankara and then looked for the pretty distinctive big empty area being confined to the southeast by a straight road and with a single tall building in the opposite direction. I found a spot that seemed to correlate and when checking for the businesses I found "RE-AR Serigrafi" both on the map and on the picture. 5th round: Recognized the language as Hebrew and found the flag. I identified it as the rainbow flag which made me thinkTel-Aviv, because it's a very progressive part of Israel. I then compared the street patterns (a big boulevard in an east-west direction), which also perfectly matched with what I saw in the map. The rest was just hard work. What did it for me in the end was the combination of the "Allora" and "Hashdera" restaurants and the juice stand in the middle of the street. I'm really proud of myself right now, this is like the second time or so I ever beat you and then making a perfect score on top is just the cherry on top. :D Good luck next time!

"Is that the march of the chickens?"

Thats interesting, just got this video in recomendations so I clicked and I see you being dropped in a city that I live in for whole life (Szczecin) next to a car I see almost daily (that sand-yellow Jeep Cherokee) XD

Can we talk about that one part in the City of Brussels that is called Stalingrad for a moment?

Haha, finally Poland! Nice pronuncation of the word "Matejki". Szczecin was the first thing I saw and it was hard to watch you not noticing it.

So I was on course to a perfect score, my first 3 rounds had given me 15k points, when on the 4th, I was greeted by this message: "Failed to load the panorama at this round. Since you are playing in a challenge this round will be skipped. Everyone will receive 0 points." And I'd say I'm not quite calm right now.

Ankara Büyükşehir Belediyesi means Ankara Metropolitan Municipality. That building in front of you was a "yurt", meaning dorm. In Turkey you'll get city names on buses and governmental buildings, maybe on commercial vehicles. They are usually at the beginning of the writing. I am impressed, you actually know some things about Turkey, would definitely recommend learning more about it.

That moment when the 5th picture loads and you're like... I know the address >

23,859. Spent a good 10 minutes looking for Matejki and didn't find it. Last one was also tricky, went in Jordan but wasn't too far off. Good stuff, bring back leaderboards!

Round 1: a lot of the same thought process that you went through, but at the very end got a hometown vibe and went North Carolina. 0 Points Round 2: my dog barked and it frightened me, so I just clicked randomly but happened to get a little bit closer than you. Chalk me up for 5,000 Round 3: Ate at a taco truck today, which has nothing to do with why I went for Sri Lanka. 0 points Round 4: Don’t know how you missed this one. 5,000 points Round 5: was having an up and down round so I decided I would climb the Swiss alps. As I summited the peak of Monte Rosa I clicked on Guatemala in the game. 0 points

I got Israel from the Hebrew. I didn't recognize the flag although I knew it wasn't an Israeli flag, but thought it might be an embassy so based on that I guessed Tel Aviv. Turns out its a pretty common gay pride flag in that part of Israel.

This is easily the most British form of entertainment I've ever seen.

when it comes to street signs in poland, (it might help you in the future) at the bottom it says in what district of the city you are, (f.g centrum, which means city centre btw) at the top with the smaller letters is usually first name of person that the street is named after(or if it's named after some organization or anything else that is not a human it says ,,ulica'' which means street) and the main part is the actuall street name. also coloring of the signs are different in major cities, for example in my home city, warsaw, sings are blue and red, in szczecin they're green and blue etc.

I was so hyped when I guessed Tel Aviv right away on that last one and got it right

The flag at the end was probably just an Embassy I would think.

sir, the last one was near the Hungarian embassy in Tel-Aviv lol. I knew it wasn't Italian because the colours were running in the opposite direction and then the Egyptian flag has a bird in the middle, plus it looks green at the bottom, hence, the Hungarian Embassy.

In tel Aviv, the flag was a LGBT flag. Pretty popular flag there.

Instantly recognised Sderot Ben Gurion in Tel Aviv, pretty chuffed with that

'ulica' means 'street' in slavic languages.

20:26 As an Hebrew speaker, it hurt so much seeing the sign clearly say Tel Aviv and you can't see it....

As a Pole I had a laugh at you looking for a city Matejki. It's the name of the street lol xD

I instantly knew where you were in Tel Aviv by Dizingoff street, I've walked that street plenty of times at 3am. The flag was obviously an embassy! I was screaming at you by the end, hebrew has blocky letters and Arabic has squigly letters.

I only got the last one because Simon Wilson (youtuber) went to somewhere that looked very similar. They tried sleeping somewhere between the roads, took a random guess and I got 2.1 miles I can't believe it. Didn't even zoom in to look at streets i just clicked wherever

Mateczki 😂😂 Great pronunciation! Matejko - Polish Painter, Mateczki - diminutive of moms Opera Szezyn 😂😂 Love ya man!

The round in Poland was just hilarious! Greetings from Poland!

At the Ankara round, the sign of the street that wasn't on the map appeared to say 843. I searched my ass for that street, and when I finally found it I was happy that the compass corelated to the streets in that area. Turns out I was in the south, also having the city-to-the-north judgement, not understanding what happened. Still got 24695, that round being the only one that threw me off.

I was a mile away from that last Tel Aviv location. I beat Tom 1 round, now I can retire lol

Rue du marché aux poulets means Chicken Market Street.

25000 Points! Yesssss! First two rounds ez. Brussels took me quite a while (about 20min). I just couldn't find that damn bar. Ankara took ages (about 40min). I looked for streets that correlate and actually found this big building (name matched) and went for it, although none of the shop names matched and the street was missing. (Was actually a whole building off, like 45m, but i still got the full 5000). And in the last round i was kinda lucky. I saw hebrew writing all over the place, so it had to be Israel. But i wasn't sure which city it is, so i just guessed Tel Aviv since it had to be a big city. So i just checked if any street would match this angle and park in the middle. Finally found this Allora place and got it. (Must have also cost me a good 20mins). Now it's 3:18am lol. Good Night!

If it weren't for that missing road in Ankara I am sure you would have gotten a perfect score. You would been more motivated for the last round if you had gotten the first 4 perfect. The last round wasn't actually super hard, although I wasn't able to be 100% sure that I was in the right place, I mostly had to guess based on the park in the middle of the road and direction/curve of the road. Which probably would have made for a suspenseful final guess if you were still in the running for a perfect score.

Love the series! I got ~23400 points. Lost points in Turkey, Israel, and Belgium.

The flag is probably on top of an embassy building.

for the last round, that was the egyptian embassy in tel aviv

I played along before watching the video and something crazy happened to me. I got 3 perfect scores in the first 3 rounds. Then on the 4th round I got a black screen that wouldn't go away. For some reason I can't explain, I went for Ankara (after hovering over Oslo, Copenhagen, and considering east Asia for a second). I can't believe it was the right city. By far the luckiest click I ever made.

I have to be honest. No clue why, but I really enjoy watching you play geoguesser :D

My god, 24792 points! Fourth one is missing nowadays but I figured south of Ankara from the start of Tom's round. Especially proud of the Tel Aviv one, a real "Get in!" moment when I saw the italian restaurant Allora by the esplanade.

I know this vid is 3 months old but whatever - dunno if you see this but as for Poland - a good thing to remember is city colors. All the biggest and even smaller towns have public transport vehicles in their own colors. I guess this might be useful. As for Szczecin and Jan Matejko street - you pronounced it correctly fam, well done. Btw they even put the sign in the colors of the town hah

17:02 on the map you can see the name of that big building at the top of the map

I'm sorry you couldn't get a perfect score, but you still had a great one! One tip as an Israeli, if you see hebrew or the Israeli flag it likely won't be anywhere else in the world but Israel, however it's very common to see Arabic in Israel. Granted' that palestinian flag was unusual for Tel Aviv. (please no hate comments)

I beat GeoWizard! 24954 points. That last one was actually pretty easy, just judging from the direction and bend of the street, as well as it being a boulevard instead of a regular road.

Rd1: The language told me to look closely in Thailand, and i found Phuket, but not the exact spot. I guessed a little bit west. 4983 points Rd2: The advertising column has a web adress with .pl ending, so it has to be poland, but where? I couldn't find Matejki, then i made a blind guess in Wroclaw, 4014 points. Rd3: Brussels Bar Archipel, well that's an easy one. Belgium, Brussels. After 10 minutes i couldn't find Archipel, so i clicked on Mannekin Pis. 4998 Points. Rd4: The language on that large building looks turkey, but couldn't find any place, so wild guess on Giresun in northern turkey. 3551 Points Rd5: i had no clue at all, so Bangladesh, Dhaka 101 Points :0 17647 Points.

Protip: If you ever see another "Buyuksehir Belediyesi" it translates as "Metropolitan Municipality" word-by-word.

My first comment on the channel.. been watching for ages, always keeps me entertained.. keep it up Tom mate!

Don't get fooled with belediye because it just means municipal and buyuksehir means like a metropolitan area, so always look for the first word to get the name of the city :)

Calzedonia shops are all over Europe, me and my girlfriend have found then in Nice, Berlin and Amsterdam. They sell women tights and socks and stuff like that as well as beachwear

What is up with this channel and Büyükşehir?!

I think it would be nice, if after you asnwered would zoom out so we can see where it was in relation to the city. I have been to brussels for example, and would have liked to known if Ive been near the location. Not that it matters, just for giggles. Makes sense?

Another thing about street signs in Poland is that they are always parallel to the street they are referring to. So if you were looking at the Matejki street (ulica) sign it wasn't referring to the street closest to it but the one that's parallel to the sign. I don't know but maybe that's the thing in other countries as well.

24987, must say I'm pretty happy with that score myself. 5k first 3 rounds and the Ankara round killed me. Basically no clues in terms of shops and I couldn't be bothered searching around all day. Last round I was just annoyed and clicked somewhere in Tel-Aviv almost right away after I saw what I thought was Hebrew. Not a bad score but still so close to 25k :(

3:41 "bang nan seafood" alright then

Somebody needs to make a supercut of GeoWizard mispronouncing stuff :D

My friend , i got to give you bonus point for the Chopin in the Poland searching part ... Oh how i love your music selection !

The Ankara round was so troll. Never would have expected it to be that far inside the city, what with all that empty space. Then again, you got really lucky on Phuket. I scanned the area for several minutes and couldn't find the grocery store. Same thing happened in Brussels, because I was too focused on the name Delhaize, which wasn't on the map after all - still got 4999 points there. Nailed Szczecin and Tel Aviv though. Over 24900 points is Not Bad(tm) in my book.

Wow it's so weird seeing a city I actually live in (Brussels) being investigated like that ! I knew exactly where you were and it's so fun coming across this video just for that :)

Almost perfect score except that #4 did load the previous picture for me. (newbie here, did not have a clue what to do) And after that I did not try that hard on the last one, so I lost 8 points clicking on the southern end of the same boulevard. I was also confused by the flag though, but everything else screamed the correct city for me.

whaddefuk man i just kicked the arse out of this challenge with 2 points missed in brussels lol. wish i had searched for longer there, even was in the right street already. had insane semi-random guesses in ankara (roads didn't line up) and tel aviv. mind blown. now i'll watch the video :D

I would have guessed Tel Aviv, the flag is probably because there are a lot of embassies there. (Except for the USA one, which Trump moved to Jerusalem). So I would have sought the Egypt embassy in Tel Aviv.

"Matejki" means it's the street of Jan Matejko, famous polish painter. But yeah, you're pronouncing it right

Yo, you better not skip out on the mission across wales

When you started searching for city called "Matejki" i started crying XD

always look forward to these! :D

Your vids are legit the best part of my week

The Bus Sign was right there on the map, in Poland

Lol my grandparents live 100m from that Point in Szczecin so I instantly reconised it

Ulica/Улица - street in every Slavic country

24973 - I beat Tom! I only spent five minutes. Phuket: I was close. Got the city in Poland and found the park, went on the wrong junction. Brussels I clicked randomly and was 60m away somehow. I got lucky in Ankara as well, a completely random guess. Final round obviously Israel, looked sunny and seasidey so went TelAviv. Got fairly lucky again.

Centrum definitely means centre, I don’t know polish but i know a bit of dutch and Centrum is centre so it’s reasonable to assume they’re related

The intro was such a mood lifter

24992, my best ever no moving on Urban World. Just had a bit of luck in going for Tel Aviv as I couldn't find any direct clues

at 19 minutes, large blocks of Hebrew text and red & white curbs have been in sight.

This video just wont get put of my recommends. There youtube... i watched it

10:28 « deylhayse » 🤣 funny accent on this one

My town is in there, and I drove on that street today. What are the odds. We have fairly lengthy street names so instead of saying "street of saint aaaaa bbbbb ccccc the 2'nd" we just say "ccccc street". That's why surname is in big font. Blue thing at the bottom is name of the district, which in this case is indeed center.

I knew Phuket was Thailand but I couldn't find it for the life of me. I was expecting it to be a larger city but I know now at least

Random click..and a new addiction! tnx :)

1. Found it through Phuket and the Grocery. 5000 points 2. This was way harder for me. I looked for Szczecin thinking it may have been the city but nowhere to be found. Looked randomly in cities, giving priority to cities close to Germany since there was a van with the german flag and found Jana Matejki in Centrum completely by chance. Apparently my map auto-translates some city names to portuguese (i'm from Portugal) and the city was named "Estetino" for me....like...what's even the point of translating city names on maps to words that aren't even remotely close. I don't even know how to disable this. Anyway, 5000 points. 3. Found Place de Brouckère by chance and associated it pretty well with the sign that was barely readable. Still, couldn't for the life of me find exactly where i was and ended up just clicking randomly near it. 290m off. 4999 points. 4. Found the university and other thingy that were named on the van. There was a clearing near that place. Clicked there. 3 km off. 4989 points. 5. It's already pretty late and my head is hurting as i'm still new to this and kinda "gave up" quickly. Only knew it was in Israel, kinda looked near the sea. Clicked in Haifa, as it was the first one i saw. Should've gone to the bigger city if wasn't the frustration creeping in. 4710 points. Still proud for the complete noob i am xD

Im surprised you messed up the Ankara one. Could have seen there were three buildings so it couldnt be that. Not that I would ever in my life came even close to your pick, but just surprised by that choice over the one which you wanted to do and ended up being correct.

Wow, such a nice maps. Was able to get 24,965 , Ankara round got me, i thought city was in the north. 1st round was pretty easy, city name + mall + big roundabout. Poland one was a bit tricky, i was searching for rails, but i guess they are showed only on case of dedicated routes. So i actually found theatre and than tram stations and finally stration name. Belgium one i was desperatly looking and did not find place, randomly clicked at city centre and was 30 meters away). In Tel Aviv i found street with pedastrian zone between lines heading to sea and that was it. So far my best map!

So KZfaq thought i should watch this video and I was like why not, it's kinda interesting. And it turned out that the second map was like the exact city I live in. That is really fascinating and scary at the same time for me

23,756 points. Only one perfect score, in Brussels, but I got close with the others except the Polish one. Was nearly perfect on Tel-Aviv, so happy with that!

I really felt your pain in the Ankara round. Nevertheless, great job as always mate

Ha! I worked in the Archipel!

HOW DID I GET THE ISRAEL ONE WRONG, I WALKED THAT STREET 2 MONTHS AGO 😂

The gay pride flag in combination with the Hebrew could only be Tel-Aviv, the city used by Israel for virtue-signalling. Also tall buildings are somewhat iconic for Tel-Aviv. From there on, I looked out for Allora restaurant and a street divided by a park in the middle and it took me 4 minutes to find it. I actually found the juice bar at the junction before I found Allora.

I recognized Tel Aviv from one of Conan's traveling remotes that was in that long park.

Omg I got the last one in 2 seconds. I was like: this is Tel Aviv!

your "Matejki" pronunciation is good! (Jan Matejko is a Polish painter) In signs with street names, that word at the bottom is often (but not always) the name of the city zone where the street is places - so Centrum just means center or a zone named like that. + in the sign 'ulica Jana' is small because it's not really important information. ulica means street and Jan is the name. But 'Matejki' is the surname so it's more important and recognized.
