EarthGuess: find the landscape and read the time in its surface

Why play EarthGuess?

EarthGuess uses a handpicked collection of Sentinel-2A scenes rather than street photographs. Its introduction emphasizes rivers, reefs, ice, crops, burn scars and city edges, with real acquisition dates preserved for each case. Reveals are described as explaining the visual clues.

The checked play interface shows a five-round set with 60 seconds and Location, Season or Event choices. Location asks where the scene belongs; the other modes add time-related questions. The exact date scoring of every format was not tested, so read the selected mode’s current instructions.

How does EarthGuess work?

Satellite color is evidence in context. Snow or a burn scar can indicate a season or event, but also depends on latitude, altitude and local conditions. First establish the scene’s broad geography, then ask what the image’s dated appearance implies. A curated deck favors recognizable patterns over assuming that every pixel belongs to a random world location.

How do you play EarthGuess?

1. Select Location, Season or Event and inspect the round’s timer.
2. Read the scene’s shape, texture, color and scale to form a geographic hypothesis.
3. Place the location and any requested time answer, then study the reveal explanation.

How can you improve at EarthGuess?

1. Identify landform structure

   Trace coasts, river branches or mountain texture before focusing on one bright color. Structure is often more geographically stable than a temporary surface condition.

2. Separate place and time

   A snowy scene does not establish winter everywhere. Consider latitude and altitude before using seasonal appearance as a date clue.

3. Read the reveal explanation

   Use the stated visual tells to improve the next scene. Remembering why a reef or river shape mattered is more transferable than one coordinate.
