GeoGuessr is a geography game in which players identify their surroundings while exploring the world. It uses maps and Street View provided by Google, and describes its aim as helping players explore and learn about the world through geography and trivia. A limited free version, GeoGuessr Free, is available. Pro subscriptions recur monthly or yearly, with payments made in advance. Pro Unlimited costs $6.99/mo on a monthly plan or $3.99/mo ($47.88/yr) on a yearly plan. The game is listed for web, iOS, and Android. Players can register with an email address and password or authenticate through Google, Facebook, or Apple. GeoGuessr says it processes personal data under applicable personal data legislation and points users to its Privacy Statement. It provides its FAQ and customer forum through Freshdesk. The terms direct users to the subscription page for plan features and trial periods, so the limited free version alone does not specify those details.
