You are standing somewhere on earth. Where?

Who it is for

Guessing games like this have lived on the desktop web for years, and the phone versions are usually a thin wrapper around a browser. Wandr is native, built directly on Apple Maps and Look Around, so panning is smooth, it works the way an iPhone app should, and the scenes are real places rather than a stock photo set.

What it does

• Real street-level scenes. Built on Apple Look Around, so you can move down the road for another clue instead of guessing from one fixed image.
• Scored on distance and speed. Pin the map and score on how close you landed and how fast you committed.
• Five-round routes. A run is five rounds and it finishes — it is a game with an ending, not an endless feed.
• A shared Daily Journey. Everyone gets the same locations each day, so scores are worth comparing.
• Country mastery and streaks. Discover countries, earn XP, build a streak and climb Game Center leaderboards.
• Hints that teach. Hints point at the visual tells — signage, road markings, vegetation — so you get better rather than just getting the answer.

Common questions

Is Wandr free?

Yes, Wandr is free to play. An optional Pro upgrade unlocks unlimited solo routes, every map pack, ad-free boosts, advanced statistics and country mastery.

Does it need an internet connection?

Yes. The scenes are streamed from Apple Maps, so you need a connection to play.

Is this the same as GeoGuessr?

It is the same genre — look at a real place and guess where it is. Wandr is a native iPhone app built on Apple Maps and Look Around rather than a web game in a wrapper, with routes that finish, a shared daily round and Game Center leaderboards.

Do I need to know a lot of geography?

No. Most people start by recognising a language on a sign or which side of the road cars drive on. The hints are built to teach those tells.
