Who's currently playing iNatGuessr in 2026? (GeoGuessr Player)

Well hello there everyone! Hope all is well, I am very new to the iNatForum and the iNatGuessr has really got me interested in getting back into identifying and learning more about different animals and species (especially birds!)

I have been playing GeoGuessr regularly for the last 4-5 years and have been competiting in the World League Seasons for the last 2 years, along with a couple LAN events such as the EMEA regionals last year.

This is very similar to GeoGuessr with the concept of guessing where you are based on what information you have. But unlike GeoGuessr, I find it really cool and can be a great way to get many people into identifying, as well as learning more about different animals and species across the world. This can be a great pathway to get more people, especially the younger generation more connected with nature.

I have recently released a video, and more than happy to continue doing so to spread the word!

This can be a great pathway to get more visiting iNaturalist website as well as getting more people connected to wildlife, even from their computer at home.

Think this is really awesome, and thank you for making this Simon Rolph, if you ever get the chance to see this post. :)

Third-party Tools and Apps using iNat API

From 2023 Aug 23:

There was a lot of positive feedback in that thread:

However, by 2023 Oct 9 (less than a month and a half later):

@saddleworthtwitcher Welcome to the forum! I support anything that gets people interested in iNaturalist, and I think a livestream Let’s Play, with you on camera, is a great way to do it! It also

If some of your viewers decide that they want to dive deeper into iNaturalist after watching your streams, one of the best ways to learn is by making identifications. iNat staff have produced a helpful series of videos here. There are currently three videos in the series, with more to come.

Just noticed this interesting site! Is there a insect-only version?

Not for a long time.

I like the idea, but not the implementation. The inclusion of non-native species and the lack of QA on what photos are used really messes it up. |

This is a very fun and interesting game but I would humbly request an “opps all ants!” mode pretty please.

(All I see are ladybugs, who are known aphid russlers and criminal poachers of aphid herds and butterflies… I guess they are OK. )

I made a bird one some months back:

There’s a way to select specific taxa and place ID’s and presumably other iNat filters to modify the quiz which you can do by changing the html to the appropriate id tags.

For instance, here’s the ants only mode: iNatGuessr using taxon_id=47336

and here are all inverts: https://simonrolph.github.io/iNatGuessr/?taxon_id=47158 using taxon_id=47158

You can end up creating versions that are obscenely specific using this method which is best outlined here: How to use iNaturalist’s Search URLs - wiki part 1 of 2 - Tutorials - iNaturalist Community Forum
