How to play

Look around. You'll see a real photo or a 360° street-level view taken at a place named in the Bible. Drag to look around; scroll or pinch to zoom.
Drop a pin. Open the map and click where you think you are. You can move it as often as you like before guessing.
Score. Up to 5,000 points a round — full marks within about 150 metres, falling off with distance.
Duels. Both players start at 6,000 health. The farther player loses the difference in score. From round 4 the damage multiplies, rising by ×0.5 every round. When one player guesses, the other has at most 15 seconds left.
Learn it. Every reveal shows the place, how certain its location is, and real verses that name it.
