PerthPinpoint is a game which tests your knoweldge about how well you know the city of Perth.
Players who are familsiar with the city and are able to decipher clues about their surroundings will be able to score higher
points.
PerthPinpoint is based off the popular GeoGuessr game - but of course with a local twist.
Note: All game modes are best played with a mouse and keyboard on a PC.
You will be dropped in a random location within Perth. You are free to explore the location as much as you wish using the Google Street View. Your goal is to guess the original location before the timer runs out!
The drop location is randomly generated every time you start a game/new round. The location will be within the rectangular bounds shown on the map (usually).
Note: In rare cases the location may be sightly outside the rectangular border. Also Rottnest Island is a valid and possible location within this game mode

The closer you are to the original location, the more points you will score.
If you are 45km or more away from the correct location you will gain 0 points.
Points range from 0 to 500 points (before multipliers are applied).
A points-time multiplier is also applied to your score so long as your guess isn't a bad guess. The faster and closer you guess the location, the more points you will score.
If a sufficently close location is gussed the following multipliers are applied:

You will be dropped in a random location within/near the Perth CBD or Fremantle. You will be prompted with locations within a small radius of your drop location. These locations may be buildings, shops, parks, or any other landmark. Your goal is to roam the area looking for the landmark and pin it on the map. The map in this game mode will have no labels to create more of a challenge.
The landmarks are randomly generated, every time you start a game. If more than one of a landmark exists in the area, you may pick any one of them.

This game mode doesn't work on a points system but rather a Found/Not Found system. You must guess the exact building/location (with some leeway) for it to be considered found.

Perhaps the hardest game mode! You will be dropped in a random location within Perth. You will be prompted with somewhat prominent street/road, your goal is to find on the map where that particular street/road is on the satellite map within a radius. The map in this game mode will have no labels to create more of a challenge. The street view in this mode will serve less of a purpose (but is present in case you need it). To make this game mode easier a reference street/road will be shown on the map.
The drop location will be generated at random, and the streets/roads will be randomly generated, every time you start a game. Only roads/streets which are (even partially) within the circle radius will be potential answers.
