GeoGuessr for Video Games: Fortnite, GTA, Elden Ring and More

Here’s an uncomfortable fact: millions of people can pinpoint any alley in a video game map faster than they could find Belgium. The fan projects below exist to prove it — GeoGuessr-style games built on the worlds of Fortnite, GTA, Elden Ring and more, all free, all in the browser. Consider this the tourist guide to places that don’t exist.

The biggest of the bunch, by search volume and by content. The main version lives on LostGamer, with hundreds of thousands of locations spanning every chapter and season — you can play the whole timeline or filter to the map you actually grew up on, which is how Fortnite players measure age now. For something lighter, Where in Fortnite does one-screenshot-one-guess, and Creative mode has playable GeoGuessr islands inside Fortnite itself. The veterans are terrifying: one rock formation, instant chapter, season, and grid square.

Los Santos is a parody of Los Angeles, which makes guessing locations in it a strange double exercise — you’re reading fake California for clues the way GeoGuessr players read real roads. LostGamer’s GTA V map has tens of thousands of spots, and GtaGuessr takes the funnier route: Franklin takes a selfie somewhere in San Andreas, and you work out where from the background. Ten years of players driving this map means some genuinely absurd accuracy out there.

The most impressive technical feat in the genre. LostGamer’s Elden Ring guesser was built from hundreds of thousands of captured frames stitched into 360° panoramas of the Lands Between, with a proper satellite map for guessing and filters for Limgrave, Caelid, and the rest. Kotaku covered it when it launched, and fair enough — it’s better cartography than some real-world mapping apps. Hard mode: every swamp looks like every other swamp, and there are a lot of swamps.

Rainbow Six Siege’s version works differently — the maps are small, so instead of “where on the map”, it’s “which map, which room” from a close-up of a wall texture or a corner of furniture. JynxziGuess rode the wave the streamer Jynxzi started, and R6dle wraps the idea into a daily Wordle-style format: guess the room from blueprints, the operator, even the player’s rank from a clip. Siege players study these maps like exam material, and it shows.

Two decades of Azeroth means two decades of muscle memory. LostGamer’s World of Warcraft guesser drops you into zones some players have literally spent years of play-time in — and they’ll still argue about which side of the Barrens they’re looking at.

Also on LostGamer. Skyrim’s province is small enough that veterans can navigate by mountain silhouette alone, which is exactly the skill real-world GeoGuessr pros use with the Andes. The crossover training is real.

Teyvat, with tens of thousands of guessable spots on LostGamer. Genshin’s regions are pastiches of real-world geography — Liyue’s karst towers, Mondstadt’s Rhineland — so half the clues work like actual geography. The other half are floating islands. You adapt.

People search for a Batman: Arkham guesser every month, and as far as we can tell nobody’s built a proper one. Free idea — Gotham at night, one gargoyle, name the rooftop. Someone make it so we can lose at it.

LostGamer keeps adding worlds — Subnautica and Minecraft guessers float around the genre too, with more appearing as fans capture new maps. For the real-planet side of all this, we keep two lists: the free games like GeoGuessr and the daily geography games that built a morning ritual out of dropping pins. Same instinct, bigger map.
