Tips & Strategies

  • Look for architectural styles, street signs, and languages to identify regions

  • Vehicle license plates and traffic patterns can provide clues
  • In multiplayer mode, communication is key - discuss clues with friends!
  • Practice makes perfect - explore different regions to learn city characteristics

Distance Units

You can choose between kilometers (km) or miles for measuring distance. Both units use the same scoring thresholds, just displayed in your preferred format.

Video Duration

In multiplayer mode, you can customize how long each video plays (typically 10-60 seconds). Longer videos give more time to spot clues, while shorter videos increase the challenge and excitement.
