BallotGuessr is Geoguessr for budding political pundits
"This is a riff on GeoGuessr that tasks you with guessing how a county voted in the 2024 presidential election. All you have to go on to figure out the identity of each county are contextual clues from Google Street View images. You can move around the environment a bit, but unless you get lucky, you'll need to have a good sense of politics and geography to do well here."
"Once you think you have an idea of where the county is, you move a slider to guess whether residents voted for the Democrat or Republican ticket and by how many points. In the daily challenge mode, you only have 30 seconds to make your guess in each of five rounds."
"BallotGuessr features 2,845 curated Google Street View locations from all 50 states, with a maximum of 15 locations for each county. Its creator plans to expand the game with data for the 2022 midterms and 2020 presidential election, as well as recent elections in France, Germany and the United Kingdom."
BallotGuessr combines geography and political knowledge by challenging players to identify counties and predict their 2024 presidential election voting patterns using only Google Street View imagery. Players navigate street-level environments to gather contextual clues about locations, then adjust a slider to estimate whether residents voted Democratic or Republican and by what margin. The daily challenge mode compresses gameplay into five rounds with 30-second time limits per round. The game includes 2,845 curated Street View locations across all 50 states, with up to 15 locations per county. The creator plans future expansions to include 2020 and 2022 election data, plus international elections from France, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
