I Played Geoguessr World Record Locations!

0:00
I have a Guinness World Record. I also play GeoGuessr
0:03
So when I saw there was a GeoGuessr Guinness World Records map, I got very excited
0:07
I saw GeoWizard play this first. Shout out to him. Let's play and see how we get on
0:12
Start. Alright, we've got 10 minutes per round. That's plenty time, to be fair
0:16
So some of these will be quite obvious. This is Niagara Falls, right? I recognize the needle building up there and also the waterfall
0:23
I assume the record here is the biggest waterfall in the world, but I will confirm that after our guess
0:28
So it's it's like up here somewhere hang on hang on. Where is it? Where is it? I think it's up here
0:33
But i'm not sure. Yeah, yeah niagara on the lake that looks promising. It's the border. Yeah, there we go
0:38
There we go So it's on the border of canada and the u.s and we are on a bridge
0:42
Is this the bridge that we are on you would assume so we'll try and do this without moving because it's quite an easy one
0:47
So there's another bridge behind do we have another bridge? Oh, we don't so maybe it's up here
0:52
Then this is where it actually says niagara falls and falls view there's a bridge there
0:56
But where's the other bridge wait, maybe this isn't a bridge. It's a viewing platform. That's no bridge
1:01
I thought this was going all the way across i'm a fool So I guess that means we're probably yeah on the observation tower
1:07
So we are probably about there does that sound right? I think that sounds right. Yeah, we got this shall I guess let's make the guess
1:13
Beautiful 5000 points. So the map creator's added this little spreadsheet that has details on all the records
1:19
I should be able to search for it. Ah, the record is actually most visitors waterfall fair enough
1:24
Anyway, I think we got quite an easy one to begin with there. It's probably going to be much harder going forward
1:30
Biggest bridge? Tallest bridge? Longest bridge? It's a pretty wide bridge, I'm not going to lie
1:37
What have we got? We've got some cars driving on the right. We've got some signs
1:41
See, this is where I'm going to be in trouble. That looks French to me, but I could be wrong
1:45
I'm going to have to move around on this one. We've got a 10-minute timer just to make sure that I don't take the absolute mick
1:51
But for the most part, I shouldn't be sticking around that long. Grand Sites, yeah, it is France, so that's good
1:56
I don't really know about any really big bridges in France, but that's a very big bridge
2:00
Biggest bridge, biggest viaduct, something like that. Does this classify as a viaduct
2:05
Yeah, I reckon it probably does. What is a viaduct officially? Is it a bridge that trains go across
2:09
We'll check that afterwards. In fact, you know what? We'll check it out. Viaduct is a type of long bridge or series of bridges
2:14
usually supported by series of archers or on spans between tall towers
2:19
So it doesn't need to be exclusively railway. It can carry water or roads
2:23
It basically just needs to have multiple columns to it. So I reckon this would count
2:27
So we've got some places here. I mean, you never know. We might get lucky. We might just spot Albi somewhere in France
2:33
I honestly have no idea where this is. It won't be 5,000 points though
2:36
So I want to get a good score, you know. I'm not going to get a good score. I don't know where to go here
2:41
Geneva, why am I in Geneva? Guys, I'm stressed. It's all gone wrong
2:45
It was all going too well for me on Geocasset today. Let's go to the end of the bridge if we can that's not a bad idea is it if we can get over to it
2:54
See, this is a rural area of france that we're in here That looks like it'd be closer to the spanish side than the northern europe side
3:01
Just with the terrain and the kind of rocky little mountains and stuff. That is a big old viaduct
3:07
You can't deny it. We're not getting anywhere. Let's return to the start and let's see if we can find the a75
3:12
That's probably something that would be quite useful to do a62 a65
3:16
I should have done this straight away. I've just been chatting on really a 75 nice. Okay, this is promising and now can we find
3:23
Milau let's have a look for Milau if Milau is a place rather than a word that is we'll just work our way down the
3:30
A75 look at oh, I've lost it. Where's it gone? Oh, it continues down this way. Okay, that's fine
3:35
Then that's fine, but I keep losing the A75 Where it gone Where does it go here A75 A75 cool mont blanc that is not there That fine then I don know why I put this timer on The magic of editing normally makes it look like I not taking absolutely ages but here we are
3:51
Right, A75. Oh no, it actually does continue over this way. And we've got lots of watery bits, or presumably lots of hilly bits as well
3:59
St. Albem. Did we see somewhere that said St. Albem? The roundabout St. Albem
4:03
I think it did. Uh, Albie, it says. Ah, you. Well, Albie's close
4:08
I feel like we're in a not bad area. I'm wondering about committing to it
4:12
We'll just have a quick look. See if we see anything around here. Malau. We had the word Malau, right? Did we? Did we have the word Malau
4:18
Return to start. Malau? Yes. Nice. Well, that's promising. Viaduct. I just saw the word viaduct. Yeah
4:24
Elidu viaduct di Malau. We might be onto something. I think we found it, right? We must have found it
4:28
So is this a place to look at it? I don't think I'm in the exact spot, but I'm going to drop the guess. Yes. We found the viaduct
4:35
Ah, okay. I thought I would be closer there. So I was clicking here But this is a place where you can view the viaduct where it's really I needed to be underneath it
4:43
I should have seen that look at that roundabout I basically just needed to click right next to the actual sign for it. But either way, that's a nice score
4:50
4,994. So officially the viaduct de Malau is the tallest bridge. Okay, cool. Okay, we're gonna do the next one and
4:58
Ooh, what is this? Is it like a theme park? Oh my god, we're up in the air bloody hell
5:05
Oh, hang on. We're in Norway. That's good to see. And what is it? Tallest ski slope or what? I can't actually work out what these are. I think they're ski slopes, but it's just a bit dry. Oh, hang on. Right. We've got some words there that we can't read. This one, we cannot move around. Oh, well, that is delightful. What a view that is. Oh, my God. Okay. Yeah, I think it's a ski slope, but I think it's maybe just out of season. This one, I think I'm going to really struggle with. I know that we need to be in Norway, but I do not have any idea
5:35
aware and you can see that there are a lot of nice lakes and rivers in norway too so this delightful
5:40
view does not narrow things down also just as a little informal thing the creators of geoguessa
5:46
have given me a code jack sucks at geography i think you can use it to get a month free geoguessa
5:51
subscription and i think if you buy any cosmetics off the store you could also put my code in at the
5:56
bottom like support a creator code type thing that's just if you want to anyway back to this
6:01
How on earth am I gonna do this one? This might be where it goes downhill for us. So that says
6:06
something like spare bart or spire bart or spine bark. It'll be one of those. Do you want to just
6:14
have a quick look, see if we can potentially see that anywhere? This is not gonna work. I need to
6:20
be way more zoomed in. Look at that church over there. Look at the gravestones. That looks crazy
6:25
See, normally I just click near the capital in places, but I don't think that's gonna work here
6:29
I think I need to be kind of more out on the sticks a bit It doesn't look like i'm particularly by the coast when you look around
6:35
It looks like there's a big river running through but the land is pretty whole
6:39
So based on that will stick inland on this side obviously it looks peak summer, but it's still particularly warm
6:45
So I don't think we want to go too high in the north. So maybe somewhere around here
6:49
This is a particularly large river. Is that too large? I think that is too large
6:54
Like you can see it from this far away So maybe it's probably more like this kind of width of river. It is kind of mountainous as well
7:01
Like particularly in the distance so maybe based on that we move over a little bit. Oh god. I don't know
7:07
We've got a main road following this whole river and I don't really think that we can see that it's far more rural than that
7:14
I think we're on the wrong river. Maybe we want to be on this one. Yeah, yeah
7:18
Why not? Do you know what? I'm just gonna click. Let's just see what happens I should have just stuck with my theory of clicking near the capital I was just talking absolute rubbish So that is a similar looking area to where I ended up going But yeah I just went to north and actually I should have gone with a thicker river after all
7:34
But we were 140 miles away. So that's not great. Really is it is very pretty though
7:39
Let's find out the record was i'm assuming steeper ski slope. All right, not quite. It is the largest ski jump
7:46
Interesting. All right, let's do round four five. Oh my god. What is this? It's still loading in
7:52
Okay, okay, we are in the air. Whoa, I always get a bit weird when I look down and we're just floating
7:58
What on earth is this? Oh, no, we're just gonna get worse and worse every single round
8:03
We are in the middle of Norway. What am I meant to do here? Could it be most isolated church, maybe
8:08
Because this is really in the middle of Norway. But is that the kind of thing that they would give a record for
8:13
I mean, they give records for anything, let's be honest. This is very tricky
8:17
This is definitely the hardest one so far. So the sun is in the south, which means we are in the northern hemisphere
8:23
And that is basically all I've got to go. This is really difficult
8:28
What can we see here? Any kind of clues? Is that even a church
8:32
It could be a fire station. Why would you have a fire station there? I mean, to be fair, you don't want the trees to burn down
8:37
It's got a lighthouse on it as well. I do not know what this building is. I don't know what the record is
8:41
What's over there? Nothing of interest. We've got a nice little boat. It's a delightful spot once again, but I just have no clue where it is
8:48
at all. I'm trying to look at the houses and work out, are we in North America? Maybe? Yes
8:55
Potentially? The landscape to me looks a lot like areas of New Zealand, but if we're facing
9:00
the right direction, I'm probably, oh, well, that's a bit of a giveaway. Imagine if I didn't
9:06
look up. All right, that's actually extremely helpful. Michigan's a state in the USA right here
9:12
So what's the record going to be here? It could be to do with the lake, as opposed to this building
9:17
that I've just randomly honed in on. So Michigan itself is a state surrounded by two lakes
9:21
Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. But with it saying Michigan Drone, we'll go with Lake Michigan
9:28
Now I guess I just need to zoom in on one of these islands. So yeah, that could, no, no, no
9:32
Cause we're connected, aren't we? Are we connected? I think we're connected. This island's quite a significant shape
9:38
I feel like we could actually find it. Like, could it be this potentially? That's surely not a bad guess
9:43
I wonder if the place that we're at would have a marker. There is a building on it. I quite like the look of this guest, but I'm just gonna have a little dabble about because it'd be rude not to really
9:51
Anywhere else that could work? Maybe that Nah, too populated with the buildings. We could go to, ooh, Canna Island Lighthouse. That could line, hmm
10:03
No, I don't think it does line up actually. Just trying to look at the shape. Does that shape line up
10:08
Does it curve round? We got a bit over there that I can correspond to anything. No, I think it's too, yeah
10:15
There's too many houses when you zoom in i've clicked it now. I forgot to say all right and everywhere else is kind of right in the city
10:21
So, you know, we'll go with the i've lost it. I've lost it. Was it this? No, it wasn't that where's it gone
10:26
It was this one, wasn't it? Which is kind of yeah, I don't think it wasn't I was
10:31
Was it I don't think that's right when I look at it. What's I mean, there's no islands on this one
10:35
It doesn't have anything 12 seconds later. All right I've been looking around and I cannot find anything that is the correct shape
10:42
So I think with two minutes left, I'm just gonna have to guess somewhere this might work
10:46
It does have a lighthouse on the end of it and it's very very yeah
10:51
I mean, there's a few houses there. Is that too many? We kind of just need somewhere with two buildings
10:55
But you know, maybe we just can't see them because of the trees it just curves around quite nicely and
11:01
Yeah, we'll just go with it. We'll see here we go. Right Uh 140 miles away So slightly closer than the other one Ah okay It was in Lake Superior as opposed to Lake Michigan So I actually got sucked in a bit too much with the drone watermark However without it I could have probably gone in Europe
11:17
So overall, wasn't too bad a score. I'm curious what this record is
11:22
It's the Copper Harbor Lighthouse. So it is a lighthouse rather than a church
11:26
What do we think the record's gonna be? Lake Superior is a pretty big lake
11:30
I don't think it's the biggest lake in the world. Maybe it is the biggest lake in the world. Should we just find out
11:34
Largest freshwater lake by area. Lake Superior. There we have it. It is the biggest lake. So it isn't to do with the lighthouse. It was
11:41
just where the photosphere was. All right, that makes sense. It's time for our final round. And
11:47
oh, we've got quite a groggy image. Looks like a dam. So largest dam, I presume. Interesting
11:53
lighting on this one. Another very cool looking area. We cannot move around anywhere. We've got
11:58
some text there, I think. Is it upside down? Can't see it. It could be a logo. That kind of looks
12:03
like the roblox logo yeah that'll be what it is uh right well this is a nightmare the only dam i know
12:09
of in the world is the hoover dam which is also in america but guess what i do not know where the
12:14
hoover dam is in america i just know it's in america they might even be in canada for all i
12:18
know you'd think if we were in america somewhere there would be a usa flag so that's the kind of
12:23
thing i need to look out for and i do not see it anywhere hmm don't like the look of that
12:28
architecture oh hang on hang on but a big red bridge presumably that's not the golden gate
12:33
bridge, but it's worth checking. You know what I mean? Where is the Golden Gate Bridge? I've
12:37
forgotten. San Francisco, not San Diego. Okay, I'm assuming. Yeah, there it is. So, is there a big
12:42
dam nearby? Anyone? Nope. Okay, that's fine. It was worth a try. Yeah, this building is kind of
12:47
oriental looking, which makes me worry that we are not in the USA at all. Am I reading into this
12:53
green roof way too much and I'm about to go in Asia instead of a reliable Hoover Dam guest? Look
12:58
at those buildings they don't look usa either but maybe they are the usa is so big and so varied but
13:04
i think i'm going to go with asia and it could be a terrible idea but we're in asia japan maybe i
13:10
don't know why not let's just give it a go and we can go kind of tokyo maybe oh this is going to be
13:16
terrible isn't it is this a really bad guess yeah i feel like it is could there be a dam in this
13:21
area could there be a dam in tokyo bay nah this isn't going to be tokyo is it it's nowhere near
13:27
urban enough? What am I doing? I don't know. I'm stressed to death, to be honest. Mount Fuji? Can
13:32
we see Mount Fuji anywhere just out of curiosity? No, of course we can't. Okay, that's fine then
13:37
Japan is very mountainous though, so it's definitely not a crazy, crazy guess. I guess I need to be at
13:42
a river, right? Oh, we are screwed. We are absolutely screwed. I don't know this. It's
13:47
going to be Hoover Dam, isn't it? But do you know what? I don't know where the Hoover Dam is, so it doesn't necessarily matter. I'll be wrong anyway, though I would get far, far more points, let's be
13:55
honest. Oh, I literally have no idea. This is going to be so unbelievably wrong, but I'm just
14:00
going to click randomly and hope for the best. It was Asia. It was China. Okay, that is fine by me
14:06
I'm pleased that we worked out it was Asia. I got the wrong country. I was 1,700 miles away
14:11
but that's much closer than the USA would have been. So we need to work out what that record was
14:16
God, that's a really difficult one to end on. Okay, we were at the Three Gorges Dam
14:20
but the record was actually the largest hydroelectric power station. So that's a very tricky one to end up
14:26
We're really in the thick of it there. So fair play if you would have managed to beat my score
14:30
In the end, we got 19,198, which is actually okay. That's not bad at all
14:35
Out of interest, let's see what GeoWizard got, even though he played different rounds to me. Oh, we beat Tom by a thousand points
14:43
Yeah, who's the GeoWizard now? All right, let me know if you want me to play this map again
14:47
because there are many different possible rounds that I could have got. Thank you very much for watching
14:51
Remember, you used code JackSucksAtGeography on the GeoGuessers store, I guess. And yeah, I'll see you later
