1 | REGIONGUESSING META LIBRARY | |
2 |  | this contribution to meta slavery was made by Lupus (Discord: l.upus) |
3 | - IMPORTANT UPDATE - AS A TON OF MY PERSONAL RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE RESOURCES ARE SOMEWHAT OUTDATED AND I CAN NO LONGER FIND TIME AND MOTIVATION TO KEEP UP WITH THEM, I DECIDED THAT I WILL REMOVE THEM. DESCRIPTIONS WILL STAY. | |
4 | HERE'S AN ARCHIVED VERSION WHICH I WON'T BE UPDATING WITH NEW RESOURCES | |
6 | Learning to regionguess a country - where to start? | |
7 | In the past few years the GeoGuessr community really has moved past the point where simply recognizing a country would be enough to compete on a decently high level. The aspect of also getting accurate guesses within the country nowadays has an incredibly high value. As a result players have put in more and more time studying certain countries, researching clues and luckily also sharing their new knowledge. It's hard to believe but in a relatively short time several hundred resources about this topic have been published and most countries have at least a few of them to help players step up their regionguessing skills. Due to this large amount it's quite common that you remember seeing a resource somewhere but then struggle to find it again. Also, it's actually difficult to decide where to start being confronted with sometimes dozens of documents, infographics, video guides and more when you want to dive into a new country. The amount of knowledge can be overwhelming and often multiple resources explain the same things so you can easily end up spending way more time studying a country than necessary by reading the same tips over and over again. | |
8 | This library is an attempt to solve these issues by currently storing more than 750 resources of all sorts in one place and additionally giving a bunch of information about each one: - author (with their Discord tag if known) - type of resource - time it takes to study it (estimated, this does not include time to memorize everything) - description what it is about | |
9 | This spreadsheet currently only contains country specific resources. They are sorted by continent through the different subsheets and then alphabetically by country. Of course this is a subjective opinion but whatever I find the most useful about a country will then be listed on top. However, area codes will always be the last link for a country no matter how important they are to learn. | |
10 | Since I can't study every resource in depth, I also rely on your help with this. Please let me know - if you know of resources that are currently missing and should be added - if you find any mistakes (wrong links, authors, inaccurate descriptions) - if a resource is heavily outdated, inaccurate or got deleted | |
11 | Have fun discovering, I'm sure you will find a bunch of stuff here that you haven't seen before. | |
12 | General resources | |
13 | Here are a couple of good links that can be helpful for most countries. | |
14 | https://www.plonkit.net/guide | |
15 | The Plonk It team consists of some very experienced players. They have put in a ton of time to create guides for every single country. For each there are many tips to identify it and regionguess within it. The information is always easy to follow, there are good explanations, many examples and overall just a very professional layout. The Plonk It Guide usually focuses on the most high yield metas. So while it often isn't the most detailed resource, you will always find the fundamentals in it. | |
16 | https://super-duper.fr/index_en.php | |
17 | This website by @.flamby. has a similar approach like this library. It also links to documents but most importantly it's a great addition as it has links to country specific maps, quizzes of all sorts and challenges which I decided not to include here. | |
18 | https://geo.emily.bz/ | |
19 | Emily's website is another incredible resource no matter which country you would like to study. Here you can find map quizzes for most countries which are great for learning subdivisions, area codes and more. Additionally there are coverage maps for all countries. Using these you can filter coverage by year and month to figure out some useful patterns in camera generations, seasons and more. | |

21 | Especially for Moving games it can be quite helpful to understand how the road numbering system works. This website gives detailed explanations about this topic and can be worth a look. | |
