Reviewing WorldGuessr and OpenGuessr by Filippo Pellegrini

 Hello Everyone!

Today I am going to make a review of the games WorldGuessr and OpenGuessr and see which guessing game is the best!
For those who don't know, WorldGuessr and OpenGuessr are similar copies of the original GeoGuessr, (which is now not accessible for many people) where it sets you in a random place and you really just have to guess where it is! There are many pros at this game, that follow easy tricks that help them guess the place, such as; the angle of the road, the trees, language, habitats, and many more. It is very fun to play this with your friends; you could potentially show them your skill in geography!

So, now that you know what those games are about, let's get going with the review!

1. Popularity and player engagement

According to about 300.000 players, WorldGuessr has a player rating of about 8.2/10. This shows a strong level of engagement and fun among players. Also, this version of the game is ideal for a casual, any-age gameplay and a normal test to check geography and image-recognition skills.

Instead of being designed for everyone, OpenGuessr is meant for a young audience, including streamers, with a lot of functionality and more tools for navigation around the map. For this reason, OpenGuessr is more popular on streaming platforms for a vivid geography competition.

2. Graphics

Generally recommended for it's clean and vibrant graphics, WorldGuessr has a sleek look that tends to improve the gameplay experience. The environments shown are well organized, making it easy to spot details that can help in guessing locations.

While OpenGuessr also features decent graphics, it has been made with a simplistic design. This feature is mainly positive for functionality, instead of graphics. This might result as a better version for people that want a more competition-like gameplay, forcing people to use their skill as much as they can.


Getting to the point, I have evaluated which version of the game is more optimal for people like me, who want a simple game with features like tutorials, a detailed map and a normal graphic rate. And yes, if you have understood carefully what those 2 games are ideal for, I would say that OpenGuessr is the most comfortable, functional and stream-like version of the game!
