Adventure lovers: I’m working hard editing the next adventure video which should be with you in a couple of weeks time. Make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss that notification!

I think this Paphos guy probably works in the CCA Galleries.

Paphos is the name of the city in Cyprus 😆

I refuse to believe that GeoWizard didn't notice the city named Paphos right next to the lake

“Ranger Scott” and he went outside the USA? That might be the biggest throw I’ve seen

I don't know why each time he asks "are we recording?" I'm getting a bit of a jump scare, as if the answer could ever be "no"...

Tom: sees the name is Ranger Scott Also Tom: "does anyone know this Google car?"

Sun is in the south, driving on the right, good infrastructure at a reservoir, image taken by "Ranger Scott"...this must be South Africa 😳

As a Tanzanian subscriber, I screamed so hard on round two because I saw a site I recognized for the first time, those rocks are called Bismarck rock, and I have been here several times.... You are all invited to our lovely country, the land of Kilimanjaro, the Serengeti, and Zanzibar.

This dude Paphos. What an elusive character.

Being a resident of Oraygun, I am always entertained by your pronunciation and your ability to poke fun at yourself

I like the focus and attention on more obscure but still difficult maps. Basically all pros I've seen hover around A Community World or A Rural World, which is still great, but it can get repetitive after a while I feel like these types of maps are more friendly to someone who uses context clues but doesn't know EVERY meta and type of dirt road in East Russia

Hey, big photosphere creator here. I wanted to say that the compass on user submitted photospheres are so bad because for the longest time you could not edit where North was from the original photo without using a paid service/software. This is mainly an issue with 360/spherical cameras (can see that by the lack of stitching lines), while photospheres (stitching in multiple parts of the photo) created by phone are more likely to have a good compass because of the smartphones compass and the app used to create the images are good. Also got the 2 American guesses correct here, mainly based on the Big American Trucks.

The slow but sure progression from Fafoa Life to Paphos Life mirrors the slow but sure progression of Tom finding the lake and I think that's beautiful

Tom is sabotaging our personal scores with that thumbnail 😂

the Ranger Scott photosphere wasn't a Google car, the guy just put a camera on his truck

I was wondering the entire time if we were recording. What a relief!

It's so rare to see the sun behind all the clouds in Britain that Tom forgot it rises in the east.

I can’t believe geowizard himself said the sun is rising so it must be in the west…

Mate, Paphos is the name of the city on the coast, head west from the lake and it's there :)

I was tickled to guess Yellowstone Lake right away! I've only been there once. But it is BIG. And, the distinctive national parks lettering on the sign was a good hint.

Shouting at the screen Paphos is in Cyprus! Lol

Such an enjoyable map thanks for playing it again!

Is no one else hearing this heartbeat sounding noise going on the whole video? All I could focus on!

I appreciate the fact that you definitely were not on top of your game in this one Tom, but entertaining nonetheless! I live for your uploads

10:50 it always makes me laugh when geowizard does this

Had a couple of good guesses, the Ireland one and the Yellowstone one. I'd classify the Yellowstone one as an insane guess, since I had no idea which state it was in. I was looking in Washington most of the time before I thought that maybe the mountains looked a bit more like the Tetons than the Cascades.

The Yellowstone lake one was gettable because the sign is using the National Park Service font, so it had to be a national park, and vastly likely to be Yellowstone.

One of my fave map series you've played in a while!

These videos always make me realize the little pieces of knowledge that I really take for granted. Stuff like the sign at Pumice Point that’s in the National Park style or the lakeshore that Tom thought was ocean in another video.

7:02 You had me chuckle there !

Tom, like you I nearly went mad looking round every North Western lake for Pumice Point, but it seems the point markings only showed up on one level of the map, so if you zoom in too far you don't see them. And the level of zoom you need to view those markings seems different depending on which state you were in. But on what seemed like my 50th attempt I found it by some miracle! And it only took me an hour and twenty minutes, it seemed a lot longer!!

Finally!!! Cyprus on GeoGuesser!! 🇨🇾🇨🇾

97something ... 1 point for guessing the Cyprus round in Idaho, thought of some old goldminer houses, Scotland - Ireland, Alaska - Wyoming ... but that Pumice Point really only shows up at exactly one level of zooming, further out but also further in it dissappears. Always fun to follow you along, thx for sharing!

As half Cypriot it killed me that Tom didn't know or see that Paphos is a city right near the lake 🤣

I don’t think any of your videos have given me as much anxiety as this one. I recognized the geography around those two American lakes instantly. As soon as I saw the mountains, and the pumice point sign, I knew it was Yellowstone lake.

Love ya Tom, you're probably my favourite youtuber, lots of love from Argentina!!

Loving these videos of the lakes map on geoguessr

From someone who has uploaded hundreds of Photospheres to Google maps: never trust the compass! Not one of mine ever had the right direction, because it was impossible to edit the direction when you uploaded the thing (unlike the location, which was easily fixed).

first time playing along, 13108, got shafter by the ireland round. very fun to see your process compared to mine will definitely play along again!

Enjoyable map! I was well off in the states for Ranger Scott, but 4 x 5ks otherwise. The last place didn't appear for me when I zoomed in as I was scouting the lake, but it showed up for me as I went past Angler's Bluff, just bad fortune for you!

This is one of my favourite videos ever

i love these play-alongs especially this map

An important clue in the last lake were the trees, the style of pine tree indicates inland climate and either higher altitude or latitude. Another clue is "Pumice" so it is a volcanic area, although may areas of northwest USA have a volcanic geology and pumice or cinder. The signage style is typical of many Federal lands such as national parks, wilderness areas, recreation areas, monuments, etc. Though again those lands are very common in the western half of the USA. However the fancy log fence and parking infrastructure tends to suggest a national park.

The stone walls on the causeway was a big clue that this was in the West of Ireland!

This is a great way to spend my time!

Hey Tom have you considered looking at plants when you suspect that the compass is wrong? Where I'm from (northern hemisphere) trees sometimes look healthier on their southern side if that makes sense. Also for the record the sun rises in the east not west :)

After having watched a couple hundred of Tom's videos, I have yet to see one in which he was NOT recording

I could watch you play geoguessr for days lol

no way GeoWizard didn't know Paphos is a city in Cyprus, and also didn't see that its also right next to the lake in question

As someone who lives in Paphos, your pronunciation “fafos” was killing me 😂 Also a bit surprised you’ve never heard of it as it’s a very popular British holiday destination 😅🇨🇾

"Paphos Life", a totally normal name for a person

Dude's just straight up given up on blinking

I’m realizing that the amount of time Tom takes on this is something I will never have the patience for. I went for the lake in Greece that he was perched on for my first guess then I basically played 10 seconds nmpz for the rest so I could just watch the video.

I'm Greek and I have to say that the only part of Greece that could look like that is Crete or maybe very south in Peloponnese but definitely not in the region you were looking over, the location looked way too hot and dry to be there. Also, Paphos is a city in Cyprus, specifically the nearest big city from the lake, not a person's name lmao.

Pumice stone is a volcanic lava so it had to be somewhere like Yellowstone. Unlucky.

I was thinking Canada off vibes for the Ranger Scott one, Canada"s 2 biggest lakes seem to be mainly in the US, the 3rd one is the Northern Territories but I don't think it would've been a terrible guess points wise.😊

I instantly knew that was Mwanza and I've never even been there. I was shouting at the screen when you were scouring West Africa.

Tricky part is, that you cant allign compass when you upload photospheres. So it is completely random. If it is a car, the compass is right.

I did poorly on this game, but did well on the last round. I’ve been in Yellowstone National Park enough to recognize the signage.

That intro was amazing

Jeri Jespersen-Gibson needs to be the name of someone in the GeoDetective series

Check out the first lake in South Africa at 15:40 with satelite imagery. Really cool.

5:52 this will be my alternative to swearing for the foreseeable future

Paphoa. 😂 Love that he found it anyway. That's GeoWizard for you!

Paphos is so long on the screen while you talk about how it sounds kind of greek AHHHH

Great video! I would love to see another All the Wetherspoons video!

You could tell Ranger Scott's car was left-hand drive by the angle of the wing mirrors (more tilted one is further from the driver).

21:58 The sign is a big clue. If you know anything about the US National Park Service, they paint almost everything in brown, so much it is called NPS Brown or Federal standard cocoa brown paint. You see that brown, your pretty much in a national park.

The video is great; the comments are fabulous😃

I love how geowizard sees an unofficial coverage, even sees that instead of being google someone called "ranger scott" took the photo but he thinks its a Google car meta lol

I'm sure almost all of us searched Yellowstone lake and just didn't see Pumice Point cause of how far you had to be zoomed in. I went over it like 3 times but didn't see it cause I was too zoomed out

The lake in Lebanon is really beautiful

Things that are certain in life: 1. Death 2. Taxes 3. Tom checking if he's recording in every GeoGuessr video

I got an INSANE guess in Montana! I was searching around Fort Peck lake and ended up going only 1500 meters to the east along the shore!

Oh, i thought you were going to name the biggest lake in every country & US State (like a challenge of some sort).

Paphos does a lot of unofficial coverage in Cyprus, probably becaus3 there is a city there called paphos

@13:52 It's not a google car, as should be evident by the name. If it's official google coverage, it always says that it's google, not Ranger Scott. My game started well, got two perfect scores in the first two rounds. BTW Paphos is a city nearby that lake, which made that a lot easier. Then screwed everything up on the next three. Third round I correctly identified as US, but couldn't figure out what state it could be. Worst thing is I checked that lake, but it didn't seem like the scenery matched. Ended up going to New York, cause I just had no idea. Fourth round I thought was US again, but couldn't figure out where. Briefly considered British Isles, but again it didn't seem to match for some reason. Last round went largely the same as you, but ended up guessing Oregon instead. Ended up with just shy of 13k score.

notification gang lets go Tom!

"Paphos's" compass looked pretty legit to me

Walking challenges - are these going to be twice a year kinda thing? Be good to know.

Paphos life is actually on KZfaq as well :) seems like a nice guy

Im just happy that the first one I guessed was cyprus in the opening few seconds of seeing the picture, everything else I was way off but ill take what minor victories I can get

is there a way to turn off that subtle heartbeat noise in the background?

Third one was awesome - guy is named Ranger Scott, sun is in the south and he goes... South Africa...

Props to you by trolling everyone with "Paphos" as a person and "Ranger Scott" as a "Google car" :)

i did not beat you, nor did i try, but great video!

pumice comes from volcanoes. was likely washington or yellowstone.

the second i heard "ranger scot" i had no doubts we were in USA... Tom surprises me sometimes

It’s time for another adventure with Greg.

Photo taken by ranger scott, rangers are national park workers in the us, that would be the clue

Got 300 yards away on the Montana round through sheer educated guesswork. Couldn't believe it. I'd basically given up at that point too after a poor second round. 21,583 altogether.

When you see a Brown with white lettering sign in the US, 99% of the time it's the same thing as the UK, a place of cultural interest, most of which are National / State Parks and Monuments.

"Phaphos, you are a legend, mate!" Meanwhile Phaphos being the closest city to the lake😂😂

The Pumice Point sign is classic Yellowstone National Park style.

"Ranger" and the very nice truck should have been your best clues. Forest or park Rangers here in the states.

anybody know how the compass is supposed to work in a photo sphere? is there a right way up with the 360 camera? if it was photos stitched together are you supposed to align the finished product and then add the compass? is it just down to geoguessr with the photospheres and means nothing?

I got Montana because Ranger Scott is definitely American, and those were pine trees my boy.

I’ve only been to yellowstone once but on that round I thought to myself that it looked a lot like yellowstone!

As someone who has spent the last 8 years split between Montana and Wyoming, those two rounds were painful to watch 😅
