        Googling? Why? I don’t use Google at all, most of the pictures are somehow easy, you just have to look around about clues, like buildings, flags, quality of the picture etc.

        The second one was so easy for the location, I mixed up country flags and I got wrong location.

          Because i could only get approximate distance by guessing, and i like to use the clues to get a better idea. It’s the deductive part that i enjoy! Take the Mexican one for example: distinctive building, Spanish text, hot climate. Beyond that i had nothing, and it could have been any number of countries!

            The Mexican was difficult for me,

            I couldn’t read the text, but the photo did look that it was taken after 2010.

              I completely whiffed on the Mexico one, placing it in Spain. I also didn’t properly appreciate the sheer size of the USSR, and just hoped that it was summer in Russia.

              Generally I agree with you though. This is more fun to deduce based on my existing knowledge and the clues within the photos. Research is for other times and feels a bit like cheating, though only the sense of how games like this appeal to my personal sensibilities.
