1am and I feel I have to watch this. Entertaining as always Tom.

"You won't get far without starting." -Tom Davies, 2021

As an F1 fan, you just get the Monaco straight away, dont even need to look around, just bang on in the road

Your Solomon Islands round really showed that you know your flags. Out of all the flags of the world that were not the Solomon Islands, DRC and Gabon may be the most similar to it. DRC would be indistinguishable from what you had in that round if it were a black/white photo (there's the star, the diagonal band...), and Gabon had the right colours, just in a different arrangement.

You simply have to appreciate Tom singing ABBA

me who learned all the capitals and flags as a teenager for no reason at all: finally, an opportunity to flex something silently inside my head

"You won't get far without starting" Unintentional deep quote.

Somehow, I actually knew the flag bc I used to love taking small island countries through qualifying in the old Fifa World Cup games. Solomon Islands were one of the teams I would often go with.

As a Swedish person I can confirm that yes, that is Sweden. Stockholm in the winter is scary.

Phew! I was scared it was going to be a normal intro today. You never disappoint, Tom!

Tom: "I cannot work out this flag, youre all probably laughin' at me." Me, Who looked it up in google 5 seconds earlier: "Haha yeah, so obvious tom, come on."

“Get in!” Count: 0 Surprise Future Tom appearance

That first guess is amazing. No one else has quite the right combination of luck and incredible skill Tom!

'Are we recording?' count: 1? 11:12 - a tangent about how many times Tom had not been recording.

When he turned around at 10:23 I was like "YUP!!! I have playing Grand Prix F1 games since I was 4 years old, that's the Monaco F1 track!" (It's just weird to see it full of "normal" everyday cars :D)

me: is watching monaco grand prix highlights on youtube tom: uploads capital cities playalong me at round 3 after 0.00000000001 seconds: oh thats monaco

The “ABA” joke caught me off guard definitely.

That 'ABA' joke was pure gold Tom

Tom, French cars used to have a yellow rear license plate! This has come up a couple of times, so don't be scared if you see an old car with a yellow license plate in France (or Monaco in this case)

I got 3 perfect guesses, but my first and 4th guesses let me down - that was a lot of fun, loving this format Tom! You missed the Japanese flag on the fourth one which would have put you in the right part of the globe ;)

He really edited Future Tom in just to make an Abba joke 😂😂

solomon islands! love that country. spent 2 months there just hanging out with the people!! most gorgeous souls ive ever met

I felt like a proper tool guessing Sao Tome when it was Solomon Islands. Thankfully you were just as much of a tool as I.. Cheers Tom! (also all time great future Tom appearance that was)

imagine being so good you DONT want a sign to give away the country

5:09 in Asia they always use very light models in adverts regardless how dark the native population is.

21,623 for me. Only got a perfect score on the last round and yet I score more than you with 4 perfect scores out of 5. Just shows how damaging one bad round can be on GeoGuessr.

"And start, because you won't get far without starting" *- Tom Tzu, The Art of GeoGuessr* If it helps, Vietnam doesn't use a script like Cambodia's . Vietnamese is a Latin script, developed by Portuguese missionaries and further influenced by the French

I visited Rwanda in 2019 and I too was surprised at how wealthy it was! (Compared to countries around it like Uganda, Tanzania, Burundi etc). They're doing pretty well for themselves and it was interesting to hear that they have something like 60% of politicians are women and it's also super easy to start a business there, you can set one up within 48 hours and there's little beauracracy around it like other countries so it encourages entrepreneurialism. Nice place!

22,316 - two perfect scores on Rwanda and Monaco, guessed vanatu for the Solomon Islands bc the architecture looked more Polynesian First time beating Tom!

We beat you for the first time! Got the same 4 perfect as you, didn't get the Solomon islands but thought that the flag was Vanuatu, for some reason. So that was pretty close, juste enough to get a few points more :) that's a great fun map, would enjoy some more play alongs!

"This has flown, I've had such good fun" Me too, Tom 🙂

ABBA fanatic here. This is the second ABBA reference in a few months time. Keep it up, Tom.

Everytime, I hit the like button even before watching the video because all of your videos are GOLD. Keep up the great work!

Tom, these capital cities game is really spot on. We need more! Great video and great jokes with Abba (although it had only one "B" , but here I am complaining about that). Cheers mate

DOPPLEGANGER ALERT Tom - you look exactly like the spokesperson for the Israeli ambulance service - look him up "Uriel Goldberg"

You know Tom's a based Brit when he still calls the country Burma in Myanmar, the top of the license plate refers to the city/region it's registered in. In the case of GO (which is actually BGO), it's referring to the Bago Region, a region just south of Naypyidaw. While colonized by the British just like India, Myanmar has been driving on the right since 1970. Why? Well, besides being a decision by the military regime, the answer isn't clear. They just one day decided "Hey y'all, you drive on the right now!" and it happened

The abba joke actually made me laugh lol

As and ABBA fan, I must appreciate all the jokes... absolutely adorable... :)

Finally my pointless flag knowledge came in handy! I would have got that and the Monaco one because I've played enough Gran Turismo to know that's the track

24978...that was pure luck that i remembered the flag of solomon islands. Sometimes I play a geo game on my mobile where flags have to be assigned to countries. However, well played Tom. It was fun watching you!

JackSucksAtGeography be like: "Oh boy I waited a long time for this!"

I think I could see a Japanese flag as the third flag on the Solomon Islands one which made me think Oceania. Didn't recognize the Solomon Islands flag tho. Also on the Kigali one you could see "-gali" on the front of the building. Keep 'em coming Tom! 🙂

I tied with you on this one! The same perfect scores and complete mess-up as you did (I went for Antigua and Barbuda). What hurts me the most is that I actually browsed that city on the Solomon Islands earlier today, reading about the Guadalcanal campaign and asking myself what became of the Henderson Field! For what I know, I could actually have visited that very image, as there were almost no images there...

Didnt play along, but recently did some practise with flags, so recognised the flag. Class video mate, always a joy to watch you!

I called napidaw about 30 secs into the first guess! Thanks, top gear burma special :) red and white kerbs, uk style traffic lights while driving on the right, and massive roads with no traffic 👍

Other slight clues for Honiara guess: you can just see hills to the south (eliminates flat atolls), and there are frangipani trees in the drive, which narrows things down a bit.

the thumbnail made me click the video, because I memorized all 198 flags a while back and I wanted to see if i could get it. I was pretty sure it was the solomon islands but i confuse some of those Oceanic country flags sometimes. Ended with around a 22k score, GG Tom

10/10 so far on this series, great fun. It's not often my obscure knowledge of all the countries' flags comes in handy.

it went from “15k explored this map” to “51k explored this map” 😭😭

I've got the Solomon Islands one with 4989 pts. The star on a blue background made me thinking of island nations near Australia (it's a common feature on the flags in the region I thought), and with a bit of luck, I got in!

1 point away from the perfect store! That driveway in Honiara was near impossible to spot on the map. 70th place overall though, can't complain about that!

I was worried that Tom wouldn't make a "money money money" joke, I was very happy when he added the "editors note" later

Love this serie mate. Keep up the great work

"Abba bank-.... though it might've been Sweden" I laughed hard as I am a swede myself...

The Salad fingers at the beginning made me go insane for a few minutes wondering where I had heard it.

By far the most entertaining series in a while.. lovely to see the notification in my inbox of this video. Great going!

"ABA Bank" "Thought it could be Sweden!" fuck sake i laughed so much

"how often do you check... and you're *not* filming?" lololololol i cracked hard this time

I loved that the Myanmar one was like an actual guess, and a freaking insane one too

I really enjoy watching your videos, especially the old ones maybe because it has a different vibes compared to this present time.

Tom Davies, you are a true madlad

Come for the GeoGuessr rounds, stay for the ABBA jokes and Tom's singing... Listening to ABBA songs is like having potato chips, can't stop at just one

Thanks for the vid Tom. I started playing Geoguessr after watching a couple of your videos which were recommended after your Straight Line Across Scotland videos. Managed 24968 on the UK map after playing the free game for 2 weeks. Keep it up man.

This is a great series! Please upload more of this!

Great map, hope you do more of these! Here's how I did. Round 1 - 5000 points, 5 meters Looked South East Asian, and narrowed it down to Myanmar by the script. Looked at the roads and the way it curved and, to my surprise, got it bang on. Round 2 - 5000 points, 6 meters Literally had the address right there. Round 3 - 5000 points, 5 meters Recognized Monaco after having visited years ago. French language with a large yacht port thingy. Found the road by looking at the proximity to the coast and saw the Casino Supermarchet with the pharmacy the next street over. Round 4 - 4994 points, 1.3 km Was about 78% sure it was the flag of the Solomon Islands (it's a weird hobby, shut up). Tried to find a road that looked similar, but didn't find anything that added 100% up. Didn't see that the road to the south must have been the main road, and didn't think the coast was that close. Went further inland to the south west of the correct location. Round 5 - 5000 points, 7 meters Saw "Bank of Kigali" and figured it was Rwanda. The street names were given on the signs, so found the spot. Total score of 24994

Oh I can tell this will be a good video!

Funny episode, my 4th round was bugged and showed Monaco again so i had 0 points and was annoyed. But then i saw you make 0 points by failing to find the correct spot :D still made 49 points less, i was too lazy to find the exact location in burma and cambodia

Hey tom, tip for finding jerusalem, in jerusalem you will see everything made from “jerusalem stone” Once you see the type of stone you will notice it is implemented into everything

For once, I actually knew something Tom didn’t know. I love flags, so the Solomon Islands was my first thought. However, looking for an African country was not a bad tactic!

This was so exciting, Thank you Tom! And yes, I was one of them who got four perfect scores and one with 331! I put my luck on Gabon, because there was a japanese flag next to it. Glad I saw that one and you didn't :p

I knew the 1st one straight away because of the Top Gear Christmas Special a couple of years ago. They showed the overly large roads for the low amount of cars.

This is a great format! Somehow got the capital of Burma wrong and found a spot that looked perfect... 156 miles away. Never would have guesses the Solomon Islands!

dang, I got 24994 points. I couldn't figure out exactly where we were in the Soloman Islands, so I guessed the American War Memorial. I was shocked that you got the perfect spot in the first guess, but amusingly, when I clicked on mine, I got the perfect score too. you're very good with finding yourself on maps and you know a lot of meta info, but come on Tom, you should study more geography outside from Europe! haha

11:27 if you have a nvidia graphics card there’s software you can get that allows for replays up to 5min (may be able to make it longer idk) and save it as a clip if you werent recording btw

Just when you said "I recognise this" I also remembered having seen this exact spot in one of your videos a while ago.

Finally I beat your score on a playalong!!! Managed a respectable 21499, lost a few points in Myanmar then lots on the Solomon Islands! Really enjoy watching you solve them in seconds when I have spent 30 minutes looking at every inch of the screen in zoom to find clues 🤣

on the bank of Kigali round you could've used the writing on the left curve of the building to finish the word ki-gali but I only know where that is because of the travel vlogger sabbatical

"You won’t get far without starting" -T. Davies, 2021

Happily humming "money, money, money", and then Tom pauses the video and looks me in the eyes and pulls that joke. Scary!

That first guess was absolutely mental! Abba jokes were fun. The Solomon Island was impossible.

Really enjoy these play along challenges! As for my performance this time: I was a bit careless in Myanmar and didn't even attempt a perfect score there, ended up 1.9km off, got lucky with the Solomon Islands round, was only about 50% sure about the flag but is was the best guess I had - would have never found the exact spot so chose a random location in the capital and ended 2.2km away. Other rounds where perfect, Cambodia with the full address + the ABA bank on the map made it easy, Monaco was easy and also instantly read Bank of Kigali - didn't even see the Rwanda clue you found since I went straight into the map when I read Kigali - total score of 24983 I'm happy with that.

10:00 and me sitting here recognizing the start/finish straight from F1 games :D

Really enjoyed this. Great video, Tom. Like others have mentioned, being a fan of F1 really helped with Monaco, so I was able to recognise the start/ finish straight in Monte Carlo pretty quickly. Luckily got the Solomon Island due to remembering the flag from a school project, many, many years ago. Managed to identify Myanmar because the arrows and lines on the wide road surface, lined either side by that heavy, green foliage, look similar to those that appeared in the footage, earlier on this year, of the lady dancing whilst the military coup was literally happening in the background. Not quite as precise as Tom though! That was mighty impressive. The other two locations, not so good for me!

My sons and I watch your videos Tom and we really love them, especially your humour 😃 I guessed the Solomon Islands flag because I live in Australia (although I wasn't 100% sure). Kigali I actually got right away as I've stood on that street and got directions to an internet cafe. Its upstairs and to the right as you look up the road in case anyone is wondering. 😃😃 Oh, and we'd like to hear more singing!

It's my first time getting such a high score, 24890!!! I am so happy!!!

1st round: thought it looked like the thai language, eliminated thailand cambodia and laos because it was not official coverage. Correctly guessed myanmar, but on another intersection (pretty similar in my defence, same orientation) 4977 points 2nd round: whole address written on that shop, found the road, found aba bank, 5000 points EZ 3rd round: it felt like monaco straight from the beginning, orientation of the port correlated nicely, found the casino in the corner, 5000 points 4th round: knew the flag, zoomed in the solomon islands, thought it looked like a hotel. Zoomed into the capital clicked the first hotel that showed up, a heartbreaking 4999 5th round: thought i was fucked up, when about to give up and guess anywhere in africa i see the bank of kigali in the distance, another 5000 points. 24976, heartbreakingly close to 25k, great map, just really happy i beat tom

In the last round the guy with the pink t-shirt is everywhere. Lmao.

I spent my summer learning off all country flags and their capitals, glad it paid off with the Solomon Island one in Honiara

get yourself a streamdeck, so can configure an indicator right in front of you where you can see if you're filming or not!

Well played!

Entertaining vid as always Tom! Damn, just missed the perfect score by 1 point on that solomon islands round. It was lots of fun tho!

I thought to myself that the minutes just melted away watching this, and then you mentioned it yourself. Great video.

Nobody: Fifa players , knowing who Aubameyang is and what Gabon’s flag is: 😭

Tom, these capital cities challenges are very entertaining. Like you said theres so many that it keeps it fun and we all learn.

Bank of Kigali is the first thing I've ever picked up before Tom. Greatest achievement of my life!

That's funny. Played today, and the footage is different. Idea for episode maybe? Revisiting those challenges. :D

I very much enjoyed the ABBA Tom, made my day :)

I also had a 20k game, but I was slightly closer on the Solomon Islands round and did the game slightly quicker, therefore I am better than GeoWizard. jk, of course. Good game, and keep doing the capitals games, I enjoy them!

I almost got a perfect score except for that flag one in the thumbnail. I did the same thing with the script as you did in the 1st one. That made me feel real good that I did something GeoWizard Tom did

I have been obsessed with geography and especially flags since 3rd grade. I found geoguessr 1 month ago and I’ve become obsessed with it. But you’re amazing at this. Solomon Islands btw. Flags are my specialty lo
