iNatGuessr - Can you guess the location from the observations?

@simonrolph

Does the concept even work?

yes, i like the bones of it, but…

@simonrolph

Too difficult?

@simonrolph

What other clues might you want? Species names?

right now, the clue that often gets me closest is actually the observer name(s), which is think is not how the game should be played. i think this would allow for better gameplay:

@pisum

i think the way i would do it, the game simply picks a place and then presents 5-10 of the most popular taxa from each of these categories:

• vertebrates (last 30 days)
• invertebrates (last 30 days)
• plants and other organisms (last 30 days)
• vertebrates (last year)
• invertebrates (last year)
• plants and other organisms (last year)

you could click on any of the taxa from any category, and that would present you a random observation of that taxon from the appropriate taxon + time category (last 30 days or last year).
