- This video marks the official start of my quest to get a perfect score on Geoguessr (An urban world) without moving. It's going to take an immense amount of luck and a great deal of detective work and knowledge.
PLAY ALONG: Switch tabs back to this video after making your guess but before seeing the result. This way you still get the best of both worlds

I still remember the surreal moment when geoguesser dropped me off 20 odd feet from the back entrance to the building I work in.
thats scarry and cool
YayapLives For real?
It's a threat
Imagine the odds? you know how come captchas have building numbers as the picture? well one of them was a picture of my old high school. even checked google maps street view and the bricks were the same and everything.
i remember once watching one of this guys videos and the image was of the house i was in as i was watching the video. THAT was freaky

Beautiful piece
"That's hebrew, isn't it...that flag says it isn't"
Had me in tears
"That flag (LGBT flag btw) looks like Egyptian flag" "Muslim flag", got me giggling. Luckily no angry egyptian patriots are nowhere near you @GeoWizard Muslims are like the anti-essence of that flag.
lovetsky It’s the Palestinian flag 🇵🇸 you dunce. 20:01 Tell me that’s not the flag of Palestine?
Marche Royale no it’s not but I can’t tell which flag it is. It’s red on top where the Palestinian flag is black on top.
it is the lgbt flag, as these images show

I believe it is the flag of Yemen. The vast majority of Yemenite Jews live in Israel. The flag flying in maps now (which is an LGBTQ flag) is not the same as that in the video.
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
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).
The Matejki street sign does make sense, because it represents the road that is parallel to the plane of the sign.
I misread your comment lol, yep you're right.
It is the name of the bus stop
Lol at editing at looking for the city with the name of the street.
I wish he would do these types of post game edits more . . . especially if its something that has us playing along beating our heads against the table that we all figured out. Then again maybe its hard to figure out what to edit if you didn't get them in the first place.
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
"Is that the march of the chickens?"
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.)
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!
nice one! really good stuff, well done
You go!!!
Well done! The Ankara one was tough!
I knew Tel Aviv had lots of Bauhaus architecture so that's how I got it. Then I found a boulevard with lined trees/green.
good job
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.
same, i assumed the flag was an embassy.
Jerusalem!??!??
Brussels:
* The street name translates to Chicken Market
* Mobistar was rebranded to Orange in 2016
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.
How do you pronounce "Szczecin"???

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
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.
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!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Matejko :-) He is your Matejki
That moment when the 5th picture loads and you're like... I know the address >
Can we talk about that one part in the City of Brussels that is called Stalingrad for a moment?
This is easily the most British form of entertainment I've ever seen.
I was so hyped when I guessed Tel Aviv right away on that last one and got it right
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.
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
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.
In tel Aviv, the flag was a LGBT flag. Pretty popular flag there.
no its not. its an Embassy
It was definitely not a LGBT flag... It was different flag than the one you see when you fet closer. It was changed.
It definitely is an LGBT flag when you go to that place in street view
Instantly recognised Sderot Ben Gurion in Tel Aviv, pretty chuffed with that
What does "chuffed" mean?
@@aeggeska1 Satisfied or pleased
The flag at the end was probably just an Embassy I would think.
'ulica' means 'street' in slavic languages.
Not in every language
@@Radosaint In which Slavic language is it different?
@@ZiomekPatrykC in Slovak its poulične or something like that, but it is a variation of ulica.
@@ZiomekPatrykC czeski
@@morallybankrupt7132 it is ulica in Slovak, maybe you mean Slovenian
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.
That flag is actually an LGBT flag, not the flag of Hungary.
if you go down the street on the map you can see. www.google.com/maps/@32.0845361,34.7740639,3a,75y,90t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sxhtP0sOSPXUrL0H9jPQuAw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656
@@jakehurst551 sad
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.
Gay pride flag is rainbow, that's some Arab country flag
@@facebookreal No, it's the gay pride flag. Just hard to see from this distance. If you go on Google Maps, you can clearly see that it's the rainbow flag.
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.
Not an embassy, turns out it's a rainbow flag.
20:26 As an Hebrew speaker, it hurt so much seeing the sign clearly say Tel Aviv and you can't see it....

It also have all the street names in English there :(
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!
Btw Matejko was XIX century polish painter.
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!
Rue du marché aux poulets means Chicken Market Street.
Ah good, that makes more sense and is less scary.
@@GeoWizard I suppose it's like the street in the City of London called Poultry.
That was my guess from my school French
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
for the last round, that was the egyptian embassy in tel aviv
212Piet No it’s not
No it's not, that's not the Egyptian flag, it's probably a Palestinian flag or the Jordanian embassy
No, i'ts the LGBT flag
Love the series! I got ~23400 points. Lost points in Turkey, Israel, and Belgium.
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.
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.
3:41 "bang nan seafood" alright then
I have to be honest. No clue why, but I really enjoy watching you play geoguesser :D
The flag is probably on top of an embassy building.
LGBT flag
Your vids are legit the best part of my week
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
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.
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.
always look forward to these! :D
I was a mile away from that last Tel Aviv location. I beat Tom 1 round, now I can retire lol
Protip: If you ever see another "Buyuksehir Belediyesi" it translates as "Metropolitan Municipality" word-by-word.
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.
My first comment on the channel.. been watching for ages, always keeps me entertained.. keep it up Tom mate!
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.
17:02 on the map you can see the name of that big building at the top of the map
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.
My friend , i got to give you bonus point for the Chopin in the Poland searching part ... Oh how i love your music selection !
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)
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 :)
Random click..and a new addiction! tnx :)
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 :(
The intro was such a mood lifter
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?
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 :)
This video just wont get put of my recommends. There youtube... i watched it
Ayyyy me too
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.
Ulica/Улица - street in every Slavic country
Dobrej nick xD
Utca in Hungarian also comes from that
Lol my grandparents live 100m from that Point in Szczecin so I instantly reconised it
I’m going to say hi to them.
@@alexbohatch3503 Well you dont know exactly where they live
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
Yo, you better not skip out on the mission across wales
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
"Matejki" means it's the street of Jan Matejko, famous polish painter. But yeah, you're pronouncing it right
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.
Somebody needs to make a supercut of GeoWizard mispronouncing stuff :D
My favourite so far is GW's "lychee" for a French-language senior secondary school 😃
Ha! I worked in the Archipel!
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
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.
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!
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!
The Bus Sign was right there on the map, in Poland
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
I really felt your pain in the Ankara round. Nevertheless, great job as always mate
You got the right pronunciation of matejki!
When you started searching for city called "Matejki" i started crying XD
What does that actually mean?
@@sebastiangudino9377 it's the last name of a famous polish painter
I recognized Tel Aviv from one of Conan's traveling remotes that was in that long park.
Louis Vaney Me too! Where he joins the random picnic and says everyone is more attractive haha
What is up with this channel and Büyükşehir?!
Mahusivcity
Büyükşehir :) It means metropolitan or bigcity if you directly translate it. Belediyesi means city goverment.
One time he saw the word in another region in Turkey and searched for that place based on almost only the word "belediyesi" but he didn't know that that word means "metropolitan city".
@@MegaAmazingTricks yeah in Trabzon :)
First three ones were quite lucky with the city names, I got 4957, 4996 and 4998 (your Szczecin Struggle really gave me a laugh). 4th round I got quite lucky with just clicking somewhere randomly in Ankara, 4970. The last one I thought was Amman in Jordan, for some reason I didn't even recognise the writing was Hebrew. All in all a nice game, 24551 in total for me
So TH-cam 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
What's more the place is really close to my school lol
Jakub Malicki I’m from Ireland and recommended this video and turns out the city the second one was is where my girlfriend is from and she recognized the area very strange too
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.
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
Heres how mine went
1: Saw Phuket and remembered vaguely where it was and found the big give away round about. Cocked up my guess by 80m but still managed - 5000
2: Took me a while but managed perfect score as well. Very happy, got lucky by immediately zooming in on the right park and clicked - 5000
3: Took a very long time but eventually pinpointed the supermarket - 5000
4: Found the city but not the road. Very tricky - 4974
5: Had no diea gave up and put it in greece. 2129 NOO
Overall i got 22103, Kinda gave up on the last one . gg
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.
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.
HOW DID I GET THE ISRAEL ONE WRONG, I WALKED THAT STREET 2 MONTHS AGO 😂
someone probably say this before me but, in 13:18 on the bus it says ankara and sirkeli which is some town in Ankara, and there is a Yıldırım Beyazıt University sticker on the window. And the first building you saw when you start is a dorm building but it's pretty hard to understand unless you know turkish.
