MapCrunch: The Game.

[Widgetcraft]

Found this on 4chan, it's a fun little diversion. Prepare to laugh your ass off.

1. Go to mapcrunch.com
2. Click on All & Hide Location
3. Press Go!
4. Get lost.

The goal is to find your way to an airport to "Get home." My first attempt:

Welp.

[SilentScreams]

Fun idea.

Here is my first starting location:

WTF

Where the hell am I? It's cold, I can tell you that much.

Edit: Bah, IMG code not working. I'll just link it.

Double Edit: This is a tiny little island in the middle of nowhere I think, and unless the penguins have built an airport, I'm not leaving. Ever.

Ok. This was pretty fun. Here's my journey.



Snowy and the street names look scandinavian. I decide to head down to the crossroads, where I have my first choice to make. Left or right? Left is South, which I think makes more sense. South is closer to mainland Europe, and better odds to find larger cities. At least that's what I tell myself. I know next to nothing about these countries.




The season changes to spring, but a few minutes later, a promising sign! Universal symbols to the rescue! I just need to stay on this road until I find another road sign that tells me to exit.




It takes a while, but it looks like I found my exit.




I must be getting close!




Spring turns quickly back into Winter. What else should I expect from scandinavia? What is that in the distance? Is it just a water tower, or is it an airport tower?




It's an airport tower! This is where Street View ends, but I'm just a short walk to a warm plane ride home. Turning on the location indicates I made it to Tonsberg, Norway.

This is a pretty fun idea! I'll definitely have to try this out when I have more free time later.

I tried this quickly just now, and I think I'm not good for it. I immediately knew I was in the Czech Republic from a location sign I saw. From there, it was pretty much just tedium to find an airport.

I started somewhere warm and sunny, but I couldn't figure out where I was until the hide bar was too short and it spoiled that I was in Australia.

Yeah, me too. I was dropped on a freeway about 50 km outside Brno, which I knew was in the Czech Republic because there is a international racetrack there.

I got dropped somewhere in Signapore and I was confused as shit. I thought I was on a Caribbean Island. Lots of dark haired people with signs in English.
