15 Free GeoGuessr Alternatives in 2026, Tested and Verified

“Free” means four different things across these 15 games, and only nine of them give you genuinely unlimited core play. The rest cap your daily games, gate modes behind a payment, or hand you one puzzle a day with a practice mode attached.

GeoGuessr Pro Unlimited costs $6.99 a month, or $3.99 a month billed annually at $47.88 a year, following a price change that took effect on 22 January 2026. Those are US prices. GeoGuessr’s pricing page renders in regional currency, so what you see depends on where you load it from.

So we checked every game below against its own live page and, where one exists, its own documentation. Five columns decide whether you can play right now: what the free tier actually gives you, whether you need an account, and whether it works on a phone. Then whether multiplayer is live, and whether it serves ads.

Key Takeaways

• Nine of 15 offer unlimited core play with no cap, no gate and no account: MobileGuessr, Where Am I?, WorldGuessr, OpenGuessr, FreeGuessr, Locatestreet, City Guesser, EarthGuessr and TimeGuessr.
• Three are conditional. Streetviewr gives free members five games a day. GeoHub runs on a shared Google Maps quota that can run out. Geotastic locks custom games when its monthly costs are unfunded.
• Only three are ad-free: GeoHub, Streetviewr and Locatestreet. Streetviewr states it plainly: “There are no ads.”
• Only two require an account for core play: Geotastic and GeoHub. EarthGuessr does not, despite what several roundups claim.
• Two entries most lists get wrong. Seterra is owned by GeoGuessr. Guess Where You Are is the same product as FreeGuessr, served from the same asset host.

Free GeoGuessr alternatives compared

“Unlimited” below means unlimited core play. It does not mean a daily puzzle with a practice mode bolted on.

What the table actually shows

“Free” is not one category. Nine games give you unrestricted core play. Three attach a condition: a daily count, a shared API quota, or a funding threshold. Three are daily puzzles in the Wordle mould, where the practice mode is the unlimited part and the scored game is once a day. Any roundup that puts all 15 in one bucket has not opened the pages.

Ads are the norm, not the exception. Twelve of 15 serve them. The three that do not are GeoHub, Streetviewr and Locatestreet, and none of those three has live multiplayer. If you want an ad-free lobby you can join right now, nothing here provides it.

Mobile is still the narrow filter. Five table rows have real native apps. Everything else is a desktop project that happens to load on a phone. That matters, because most people searching for a GeoGuessr alternative are searching from one.

Account gates are rarer than reported. Only Geotastic and GeoHub need one to play. EarthGuessr is widely listed as requiring registration and does not: its landing page carries a “Play now” button alongside a separate “Log in” and “Create Account”.

The Street View games

These are the closest substitutes for GeoGuessr. You get dropped into a scene and you place a pin on a map.

1. MobileGuessr

MobileGuessr is built for phones rather than tolerated on them. Rounds run on street walk video instead of static panoramas, so you get motion, ambient sound and traffic, and the clues that come with them. Beyond the core loop, it adds ranked duels on an ELO rating, weekly tournaments, daily challenges, campaigns and collectible monuments. Progression runs through Bronze, Silver, Gold, Master and Champion leagues.

It is free to download on iOS and Android. Its own site states the terms plainly: “Free to download. Contains ads and optional in-app purchases.”

Key features

• Street walk video rounds instead of static Street View panoramas
• Unlimited play, no account, no daily cap
• Ranked multiplayer duels and weekly tournaments
• Native iOS and Android apps

Best for: playing on a commute, and for anyone who wants ranked progression on a phone.

2. Where Am I?

Where Am I? runs the same video format in the browser and as a native app on iOS and Android. You get high definition street walk footage rather than a frozen frame. It carries cues a still image cannot: how traffic behaves, how people dress, what you can hear. Multiplayer duels, daily challenges and themed campaigns sit on top of the core loop.

Play is unlimited with no account and no daily cap. The apps carry ads and an optional premium subscription.

Key features

• Real street walk video instead of static Street View panoramas
• Unlimited rounds, no account, no daily cap
• Built mobile-first rather than adapted afterwards
• Multiplayer duels, daily challenges and themed campaigns

Best for: anyone who wants the video format in a browser as well as on a phone.

3. WorldGuessr

WorldGuessr is the speed pick. It is open source, and the page drops you onto a street almost immediately instead of walking you through menus. It is also one of the few here with official apps: an iOS release and an Android release. Google Play lists the Android one as containing ads.

Key features

• Fastest time from landing page to first round
• Open source, published on GitHub
• Unlimited rounds, no account
• Official iOS and Android apps, with progress syncing between desktop and mobile

Best for: playing one quick round without any setup.

4. OpenGuessr

OpenGuessr is the closest thing to a drop-in GeoGuessr replacement. Same loop, same feel, no paywall on any mode, community built. Multiplayer runs from its own lobby pages and does not ask you to register first. If you want your muscle memory to transfer intact, start here.

It runs in a browser. We found no official mobile app, so treat phone support as unestablished rather than absent.

Key features

• Closest match to the original GeoGuessr experience
• Unlimited rounds, no account, no paywalled modes
• Multiplayer without registration
• Community maintained, funded by ads and donations

Best for: lapsed GeoGuessr subscribers who want the familiar game back.

5. FreeGuessr

FreeGuessr does what the name says: a straightforward free Street View guessing game with no subscription tier and no account gate. Multiplayer, party modes, and daily challenges sit on top. It is ad-supported through Google AdSense.

Key features

• Unlimited rounds, no account
• Multiplayer and party modes
• Daily challenges
• No premium tier to upsell you

Best for: a no-frills replacement with nothing to learn.

6. Geotastic

Geotastic has the widest set of modes here: Street View drops, flag rounds, aerial rounds, battle royale, matchmaking, seasonal ranked play and a map editor. It is crowdfunded rather than subscription funded, and its developer has written that donations barely cover the Google API bill.

That funding model has a direct effect on what you can play. When the month’s costs are unfunded, custom games close to non-supporters. Geotastic states it in the app: “Since the costs of keeping Geotastic up and running this month are not covered, local games are only available for supporters. Free players can access custom games again once enough players support the game financially to cover all costs. Supporters gain immediate access.”

A one-off 3 EUR payment reaches supporter level 1, which unlocks custom lobbies permanently. Its developer set that floor deliberately, because payment processing swallows at least 40% of smaller donations. Supplying your own Google Maps API key achieves the same access. Creating your own challenges also requires supporter level 1, and the drop editor requires supporter status. Ads follow the same logic: they are on by default and can be disabled once your cost-to-donation ratio turns positive.

The base game remains free, and an account is required.

Key features

• The widest set of game modes here
• Custom local and online games gated when monthly costs are unfunded
• 3 EUR one-off supporter level, or your own API key, unlocks custom lobbies
• Account required, ads on by default

Best for: groups who want mode variety and are willing to sign up and chip in.

7. GeoHub

GeoHub is open source and carries no ads, which makes it the only ad-free option here with any form of multiplayer. Custom maps and daily challenges are the draw, and custom map support is the feature most players miss when they leave GeoGuessr.

Its unlimited play is conditional. The public instance runs on the Google Maps free tier, and its own documentation explains what happens when that runs out: “This means the daily quota for the Google Maps API has been reached since the game is currently running on the Google Maps free tier. The daily quota resets at midnight Pacific Time (PT).” To play without hitting it, you paste your own Google Maps API key into your profile settings. That means creating a Google Cloud account with billing attached.

Multiplayer is asynchronous rather than live. You configure a game, copy a challenge link and share it, then compare scores afterwards.

Key features

• No ads
• Custom maps, including single-country drilling
• Shared daily quota, or your own API key for unrestricted play
• Asynchronous challenge links rather than live lobbies
• Account required

Best for: deliberate practice on a specific region, and anyone who will not tolerate ads.

8. Streetviewr

Streetviewr narrows the scope: you are dropped somewhere on Earth, and you guess the country, not the exact point. Rounds are much faster and far friendlier to beginners, because you are choosing between roughly 195 answers rather than pinning a coordinate.

It is the clearest example of why “unlimited” needs checking. Free members get five games a day, and the game says so when you hit the wall: “Free members get 5 games/day. Come back tomorrow!” Premium removes the cap and adds five exclusive modes, including Survival, USA Challenge, Europe Capitals, 5 Second and No Move, for $1.99 a month.

It is also genuinely ad-free, which the site states directly: “There are no ads.” Development is funded by donations and Premium instead. You can play without logging in, though signing up for free is needed to move around inside Street View and to appear on the leaderboard. There is no multiplayer, only a leaderboard.

Key features

• Country-level guessing instead of coordinate pinning
• Five games a day free, unlimited on Premium at $1.99 a month
• No ads
• Playable without an account, no multiplayer

Best for: beginners and anyone who finds full GeoGuessr scoring intimidating.

9. Locatestreet

Locatestreet, built by Geograf.io, serves a sequence of random Street View panoramas and asks you to work out each location. You can play worldwide, restrict to a specific country, or take a thematic challenge. It plays more like a puzzle than a scored competitive game.

We found no ad networks on the page and no multiplayer. We have not verified how well it holds up on a small screen, so treat mobile quality as unconfirmed.

Key features

• Puzzle pacing rather than timed competition
• Worldwide, single-country and thematic modes
• Unlimited, no account, no ads
• Single player only

Best for: slow, unhurried solving.

The games that are not Street View at all

These get lumped into alternatives lists without anyone mentioning that they play completely differently. They are worth knowing precisely because the skill does not transfer.

10. City Guesser

City Guesser drops you into a walking video of a real city and asks where you are, with a multiplayer mode alongside the single-player game. Play is unlimited and no account is required.

It is frequently listed as ad-free. It is not. The live page loads Google AdSense with in-page ad slots, and it runs a consent management tool that covers personalised advertising, offered through a “Privacy settings” control. The site also asks for optional donations to stay free, which is probably where the ad-free claim came from.

Key features

• Real walking video, not static panoramas
• Unlimited play, no account
• Multiplayer supported
• Ad-supported, with a personalised advertising consent dialog

Best for: an immersive desktop session in the video format.

11. EarthGuessr

EarthGuessr swaps Street View for satellite imagery on a 3D globe. Road markings and bollards are useless from orbit, so you read coastlines, field patterns and city layout instead.

No account is needed for core play. The landing page offers “Play now” as its own action, separate from “Log in” and “Create Account”. The play page states that EarthGuessr “ships 15 distinct ways to play”, and it carries exactly 15 mode links to match. Classic, World, Streak and Knockout sit alongside live multiplayer lobbies and a once-a-day Daily Challenge. Themed modes drill specific skills, such as reading volcanic terrain or identifying capitals. Ninety-nine countries have their own deep link. A weekly-resetting League tracks division rankings.

Its cookie notice covers “analytics and advertising”, with accept and reject options and essential cookies always on.

Key features

• Satellite imagery on a 3D globe
• No account required for core play
• Classic, World, Streak, Knockout, themed modes and live lobbies
• One shared Daily Challenge per day
• A genuinely different skill from Street View play

Best for: experienced players who want a fresh challenge.

12. TimeGuessr

TimeGuessr keeps the map pin and adds a second axis: you guess where a historic photo was taken and what year it was taken. Each round scores both halves, so clothing, vehicles, signage and architecture matter as much as terrain. It is the closest game here to the GeoGuessr loop that is not built on Street View at all.

Three ways to play sit on the landing page as direct actions: a random game, the daily challenge, and community rounds built by other players. Random games are unrestricted, and the community library is busy, with sets posted within the last day and play counts in the hundreds. None of it asks you to register first; “Log in” is a separate option beside them.

Published by TIMEGUESSR LIMITED, it runs in the browser and as native apps on iOS and Android. The website carries ads with a TimeGuessr Pro subscription to remove them, and the Android listing declares in-app purchases. Friends can be challenged directly and results compared on a leaderboard, which is a shared challenge rather than a live lobby.

Key features

• Guess both the place and the year from a historic photo
• Unlimited random games, plus a daily challenge and community rounds
• No account needed for any of the three modes
• Web, iOS and Android
• Friend challenges and leaderboards rather than live lobbies

Best for: anyone who wants the map-pin loop with a history layer on top.

13. Globle

Globle gives you no imagery at all. You name a country, the globe tells you how close you are by colour, and you narrow it down from there. The scored game is one puzzle a day, shared by every player worldwide, and it resets at local midnight.

A free unlimited Practice mode runs alongside it for as many rounds as you want without touching your streak. Globle Leagues adds a competitive mode against friends. The site is ad-supported through NitroPay.

Key features

• No imagery, pure deduction by proximity
• One shared puzzle per day, plus free unlimited Practice
• Globle Leagues for playing against friends
• No account needed for the core game

Best for: a one minute daily habit with practice on tap.

14. Worldle

Worldle shows you a country or territory outline and asks you to name it. After each of your six guesses you get distance, a direction arrow and a proximity percentage. Pure shape recognition, from Teuteuf Games.

The daily puzzle is free and needs no account. A Practice mode is free too. The archive of past puzzles is the paid part: reaching it requires a Teuteuf Games account and a Premium subscription. Premium also saves stats and syncs across devices. The site is ad-supported through Snigel and carries a “Remove Ads” option. Teuteuf publishes iOS and Android apps.

Key features

• Country outline recognition with distance, direction and proximity clues
• One free puzzle a day, six guesses, no account
• Free Practice mode; archive behind Premium
• Web, iOS and Android

Best for: learning country shapes properly.

15. Travle

Travle asks you to connect two countries by land in as few steps as possible. It is a geography game about borders rather than images, and it is the best one here for learning where places sit relative to each other.

Alongside the daily game there is a Weekly Challenge every Monday, a free Practice mode, challenge maps and an archive. Friends can be sent a route to attempt, which is a shared challenge rather than a live lobby. Also from Teuteuf Games, ad-supported through Snigel.

Key features

• Border and adjacency puzzles
• Daily game plus Weekly Challenge every Monday
• Free Practice mode, challenge maps and archive
• Friends challenge by shared route, not a live lobby

Best for: actually learning the map rather than reading photos.

Three entries almost every other list gets wrong

Worth checking before you trust any roundup, including the ones ranking above this page.

Guess Where You Are and FreeGuessr are the same product. They appear as two separate entries on most 2026 lists, including an earlier version of this one. They are not two games. A character-level diff of the two homepages returns 94% similarity, and all 61 of their script and stylesheet paths match exactly. Both load their application bundles from the same host at guesswhereyouare.info/mirror/, and both serve ads from the same Google AdSense publisher ID, ca-pub-4187022913303515. We have listed FreeGuessr only.

Seterra is owned by GeoGuessr. Seterra’s own pages now state that it has become part of GeoGuessr, and the old address redirects: online.seterra.com resolves to https://www.geoguessr.com/quiz/seterra. It is a good map quiz tool and it is still free, but recommending it as an alternative to GeoGuessr means recommending GeoGuessr. We re-verified the redirect on 15 August 2026.

MapiGuesser appears to be discontinued. It shows up on many 2026 lists. Its domain returns NXDOMAIN on .com, .eu and .org as of 15 August 2026.

A list that has not been re-checked in six months will quietly send you to a dead link, to a competitor’s own product, or to the same game twice.

Also worth knowing

MapCrunch teleports you to a random Street View location, but there is no guessing and no score. It is for wandering, not playing, and it gets miscategorised constantly.

Hide & Seek World layers hide and seek onto Street View exploration, which is a different game shape again.

Pic-A-Place is a photo-based location puzzle rather than a panorama game.

How to pick one

You want GeoGuessr, just free. OpenGuessr for the familiar feel, WorldGuessr for speed.

You are on a phone. MobileGuessr, Where Am I?, WorldGuessr and TimeGuessr have native apps. Worldle does too, but it is a daily puzzle rather than a session game.

You cannot stand ads. GeoHub, Streetviewr or Locatestreet. Those are the only three, and none of them has live multiplayer.

You refuse to make an account. Avoid Geotastic and GeoHub. The other thirteen let you straight in.

You want to play with friends right now. WorldGuessr or OpenGuessr get you into a live lobby fastest. Geotastic has more modes, but custom games can be gated.

You have five minutes a day. Globle, Worldle or Travle.

You want the video format rather than still panoramas. MobileGuessr, Where Am I? or City Guesser.

You want something the others do not do. TimeGuessr, because guessing the year alongside the place is a different skill from anything else here.
