These are so entertaining but also frustrating to watch 😂🤣 Your sister whispering behind her hand to ask you about the compass directions was also super cute
I love the sibling videos. At the end you asked for ideas/feedback, here's some thoughts: a) "Sister tries to STUMP me in blind GeoGuessr!" The blindfolded games, but your sister picks the locations. For example, she might click locations that _she_ believes would be obscure or hard to stump you (or even find places that she's drawn to, like the Ichia location that she was quite enthused by)-- Technically for this you don't even need GeoGuessr, you could just be sitting in Google maps/earth... (One of the most impressive feats of GeoGuessr experts to "normal people" is how they can instantly recognize "obscure" countries that most people can't even find on a map. (Yet these same savants might randomly struggle on a baity Croatia or Belgium.) There's also educational content in talking about why or how something is actually "hard" to recognize.) b) "She picks, I guess" -- Could also be done non-blindfold, by your sister finding random locations and you just get to look at the "picture" (NMPZ style) and then have to give your best reasoning and try to guess. This should be a _cooperative_ thing and not a _competitive_ thing. I mean obviously she could just zoom in on a random wall -- the fun is more in her trying to find the balance of what you can guess and what's too hard, and the two of you sort of cooperatively finding a balance to where it's challenging and impressive (but not impossible). I mean, to me the coolest moments are when 1. your sister rolls her eyes and kinda goes "wtf dude" (like getting Senegal from sky rifts), 2. when your sister is actually genuinely excited for a location, like the beautiful Ichia one. So anything that maximizes those. c) "A blind oracle & his seeing sister" -- You're doing some of this already but I'd be cool (and educational) if you (Jake) could maybe narrate out loud even more about what you're thinking. The stuff like "ok, so this kind of shape on the bollard, there's a whole bunch of countries that has that like A B C D, but you said yellow line, so with that I'm curious about E, how do we narrow that down, hm, well E also have distinct guard rails, do you see any--" and so on is very educational. Wild guesses even if they're wrong. I mean in the extreme your sister doesn't volunteer anything except if you ask for it, but that's probably too repetitive. "Ok first off, any language" "oh yes, there's a poster, it says XXX" "aha, so it's Spanish-speaking, cool, if it's Europe then you should see YYY? If not I'll ask you about QQQ" "I don't see any YYY, but..oh, could it be this, ZZZ? it's not exactly but it's kind of yellow and--" I mean I don't know. d) Personally not a big fan of the she-gets-to-Google stuff because I think it rather puts your sister on the spot. It's a fine line between showing off how impressive Jake is unassisted and sort of putting a harsh spotlight on your sister for being lost and/or not knowing how or what to google to quickly gather information etc etc. That just doesn't look very fun for your sister, and thus it's not that fun (again, for me personally) to watch. (Plus, it's _arguable_ that this sort of thing might imperceptibly help to normalize GeoGuessr cheating.) Anyway sorry for the overlong comment, but just airing some meandering thoughts/feedback.
OMG, Round 3 was sooo wholesome, I loved it!! Whenever someone tries pronouncing hungarian as a foreigner, I just have nothing but respect! Oh, and don't worry about butchering our language, everyone does, we are used to it :P Great vid, loved it
Super fun video! In fact, it was that engaging that my wife (who had ZERO interest in Geoguessr until now) wants to try the game playing in this exact format. Greetings to sister Lyons, she's hyper charismatic.
Man, this video was such a blast to watch, sat through the entire thing and enjoyed every second of it, Merry Christmas and cheers to you guys for providing us with such banger content!
I love the videos with your sister, the two of you are so darn cute together🥹. The face she made when you were explaining the region in Hungary with the difficult name was priceless 😂 Also your sister might be better at scanning than you are! Happy Holidays to you Jake and your sister and the rest of the family❤
That Ischia round reminds me of the LDL round where Jake didn't realise he was on that Australian island off Perth and was scanning the east coast all the way!
This is soo good content! The mode is so much fun, been playing it a couple of times with my siblings since last video. The reaction to her posibly finding a 5k was so wholesome, and the "uuurg" reaction to the indo pole so relatable :D Merry Christmas!
Jake this content has been SO incredibly helpful as a Gold 2 player learning the game. this series is such a unique way of showcasing your thought process and what you look for. thank you!
@@jakelyonsgeo Yes, for example, she plays three games and is allowed to google them and after each one you play these three games nm or nmpz, as in the first video.
I am kinda into this series. 25:36 I kept thinking just mention the black and yellow stripes on the polls. Then when she did, you went "lets goo" right with me watching
I was so confused why she wasn’t on the island after she found the city name on the island. Kept yelling at my screen like look for the place on the island
Great video! Also: your sister has nothing to be ashamed of on the Ischia round. I would have probably scanned over it three times and plonked somewhere completely different ^^;
Especially that second game was excellent! I can't really think of many suggestions apart from challenges with various handicaps or bonuses. One detail that might be worth trying is switching to the other compass. Us traditionalists like the classic one of course, but maybe the new style is easier to read for people who don't look at such things every day?
ohh i really wanted the italy one to be the 5k 😆 i have such a good time watching these videos they are soo much fun and you two are so cute 🥰 really made me think about the lingo use in this game too lol loved the fistpump at the property marker find!! 🤩
A couple more games, and I think she will be ready to compete in the WC. Def my favorite recurring guest star of your videos (sorry Winston). Maybe a Team Duels, but with a catch. You cant tell her where to guess, and she has to guess first..... and wherever she guesses, you have to guess in the same country, or a country touching it (to give a little more help). Odds are you would probably queue a couple gold/silver/bronzes, so you might still have the advantage.... but it wouldnt be as lopsided as if you guessed on YOUR instincts.
Always lovin some blind Geoguessr content. As for the suggestions, maybe a variation of the "me vs Googler" format but this time make it an acutal duel where you play NM(/PZ) and your sister is allowed to freely move and look up some stuff. Of course the timer would need some adjustments.
I have a next year blind geoguessr concept recommendation for you; If she gets some experience with the game maybe next year there will be "no questions asked" version, what do you think? She'll try to explain all she sees, no question asked from you. It will be wild :)
Though as prep for that, she may have a checklist of what to look for like car antenna, etc. She probably should have that, anyway. There is also the problem that Jake needs to tell Sister Lyons where to put the marker. Since she doesn't know where all the countries are, not allowing questions is an issue. I suppose you could let her ask questions but not Jake, but then she could ask, "What am I forgetting to describe?" I am not sure how to make this restriction improve the game.
@emrekipmen , that eliminates part of the challenge of communicating where Jake thinks she should guess. For example, in this video, there wouldn't have been the Croatia mixup. In a previous video, we would have lost the adventures in finding where Hudson Bay was. That Sanukiluaq round wouldn't have been nearly as fun. I enjoy watching Sister discover where things are. I also fear that we'd lose much of the charm and humor of their interactions. I enjoy her making fun of Jake for understanding how the sun is positioned relative to Earth. Others mentioned how it was when she stage whispered to ask how the compas worked. I accept that your suggestion adds a new wrinkle and adds new challenges. That's good. I don't think that, as proposed, it'd be as compelling to watch...at least not to me.
Yesss! I was waiting for this, your sister is a GOAT! Merry Christmas to you and your family, Jake, and a happy new year! As for ideas, maybe you'd like to make some of those 20 (or 30, or 40...) yes/no blind questions videos like zig8zag and Geography Challenges did together? That'd be fun!
Merry Christmas to you and your family, Jake! I really like the "duo content". I'd really like to see the other format again, where your sister was allowed to google stuff.
Is there anything that Sister Lyons is an expert on that she could force Jake to do on video? Let her have the upper hand? Playing cheater TimeGussr where she's allowed to Google and Jake cannot might be interesting and fairly even. I don’t know how good Jake's history knowledge is. It also might involve someone being embarrassed for no knowing or recognizing a famous event, person, or location. It also doesn’t meet her don’t make me think criterion. However, I like TimeGussr much more than GeoGuessr, so I'm biased. Anyway, I enjoy Sister Lyons content, so keep it up.
Newbies enthusiastically ready to scan the entire coast of Italy don't get roasts, they only get thumbs ups
I don't think that deserves a roast, a geographical newbie that doesn't know where Croatia is trying to go for a 5k is quite "cute" in the 1st place.
These are so entertaining but also frustrating to watch 😂🤣

Appreciate it!!
That full commitment to scan Italy's coast was insanely efficient, congrats sis Lyons! Happy holidays.

finally the actual goat is back
Man, this video was such a blast to watch, sat through the entire thing and enjoyed every second of it, Merry Christmas and cheers to you guys for providing us with such banger content!
Merry Christmas, Jake! Also a "Googler" video with your sister would be so fun. Happy Holidays.
To be tired, sick and not used to the terms, big kudos to sister!
I love the videos with your sister, the two of you are so darn cute together🥹. The face she made when you were explaining the region in Hungary with the difficult name was priceless 😂 Also your sister might be better at scanning than you are!

Wholesome content, you guys are awesome.
Yes, yearly at least. Good fun! She did really well to be honest.
Edit: Merry Christmas for fucks sake!
This is soo good content! The mode is so much fun, been playing it a couple of times with my siblings since last video. The reaction to her posibly finding a 5k was so wholesome, and the "uuurg" reaction to the indo pole so relatable :D Merry Christmas!
For more sibling games, man. You could play some duos or BR on the sister account. It would be at least fun.
Blind pole plate and guy wire guessing is incredibly entertaining to watch
no wayyy! these videos are how I first got into your channel,, it’s an Xmas miracle
Jake this content has been SO incredibly helpful as a Gold 2 player learning the game. this series is such a unique way of showcasing your thought process and what you look for. thank you!
That was fun! You guys have to do the Jake vs Google Cheater again too.
I enjoyed that. Let’s have another one before the year is out. She’s very good at describing.
Wishing you and your family a very merry Christmas, Jake!
Ahah this intro, you deserve an oscar :D
Pleasantly surprised that I finally get to see another round of this. Hope you've had, and continue to have, a wonderful holiday season
Banger intro with this one, stoked to see this series return! Merry Christmas guys :)
@SkiDY I would think it would be better if they guessed one after the other. Then it somehow seems more exciting.
Yeah, I agree. Thats way better.
As in, the way we did it the first time?
@@jakelyonsgeo Yes, for example, she plays three games and is allowed to google them and after each one you play these three games nm or nmpz, as in the first video.

merry christmas, this tradition is fun to watch!
The vibes are 10/10 happy Christmas!
Very fun to watch! I‘d love to see more that.
Loved it… maybe use the other compass the next time? Would probably help your sister with the directions
I love these! Always so much fun to watch. I love how she's already picking up things like camera gens and roof racks haha
Great concept, fun video to watch.
ohh i really wanted the italy one to be the 5k 😆 i have such a good time watching these videos they are soo much fun and you two are so cute 🥰 really made me think about the lingo use in this game too lol loved the fistpump at the property marker find!! 🤩
I remember watching this last year hoping we'd get another one because it's so fun to watch and here we are. Great video, very enjoyable to watch!
A couple more games, and I think she will be ready to compete in the WC.
Def my favorite recurring guest star of your videos (sorry Winston).

These vids are so fun
YESSSSS!!! I’ve been waiting ages for this again! ❤
So fun 😂 well done both of you!
Really enjoy these videos, would love more if possible!
These are so fun! I’d love to see more for sure 😁
Super entertaining video! Keep up the good work was excited to see another one of these.

xdd as a hungarian this part at 12:00 was funny and cute asf
Merry Christmas to you and your sister. This remains my favorite series on your channel. It’s good fun every time. Cheers!
GOATED series ❤ Happy holidays 🎉🎉
Great video, enjoyed it last year too. Keep it up
Jake I see you rocking that warriors shirt baby
Rough night for the Niners though…
@@pinedrops7542 purdy mvp chances gone :( bad christmas for California all around lol
That was so much fun to watch

@@deepowls Jake can point where to plonk on a normal map on google without seeing the game screen. That solves the marker problem I guess ..
@emrekipmen , that eliminates part of the challenge of communicating where Jake thinks she should guess. For example, in this video, there wouldn't have been the Croatia mixup. In a previous video, we would have lost the adventures in finding where Hudson Bay was. That Sanukiluaq round wouldn't have been nearly as fun.

Starting to watch it I really enjoyed it a year ago so I’m sure it will be fun again. Merry Christmas to the both of you
get this guy a classic compass
This is pretty cool... do more of these
Merry Christmas to both of you! Great video, love the blind series
Love it, this is always enjoyable to watch! I also did this with my girlfriend yesterday, was so much fun! ^^
22022 is a fantastic score
Yesss! I was waiting for this, your sister is a GOAT!
Merry Christmas to you and your family, Jake, and a happy new year!
As for ideas, maybe you'd like to make some of those 20 (or 30, or 40...) yes/no blind questions videos like zig8zag and Geography Challenges did together? That'd be fun!
I second this - make it so that the only answers she can give are yes/no/kinda/don't know
This was fun to watch, but I'd really like to see another video of your sister competing with you by googling locations.
i love this video concept
I was hoping you'd do more of these, super entertaining series
Someone needs to add some chevron flashcards to their deck
always elite videos when your sister is on the channel :)
Love the videos with your sister! You guys work great together 🙂
Merry Christmas Jake
I like the classic compass but she would probably do better with the new one for future vids
Merry Christmas to you and your family, Jake! I really like the "duo content". I'd really like to see the other format again, where your sister was allowed to google stuff.
Merry Christmas to you and your family♥
Fun video!
next episode of this when?
Merry christmas jake
watching vids from last year one
Great video
new compass could help maybe
16:30
Isn't this the spot where the motorcycle got hit and they removed it???
Oh damn didn’t realize it was the same spot 😅
Why was todays video taken down? I enjoyed watching it
What?
@@jakelyonsgeo sorry, i could be crazy here but i thought you posted one of these today. Lol
@@jakelyonsgeo turns out you actually posted the video 9 months ago. Not sure why it would be on my homepage today, but i enjoyed it. MAKE MORE :)
it said ischia! why not click ischia! Kappa
Is there anything that Sister Lyons is an expert on that she could force Jake to do on video? Let her have the upper hand?

Hello
bro figured out the trick to get more views 😂
You are too hard on (pretty) sis, very nice guesses and good explanations anyway, good series.
is your sister single?
