Games Like GeoGuessr You Can Play Together on One Screen (Free)
Why GeoGuessr Is Awkward for a Group
GeoGuessr is one of the best things the internet ever made. You get dropped on a road in Street View, you squint at the bollards, and you guess where in the world you are. Alone at a laptop, it's perfect.
Try it with six people on a sofa and it falls apart. One person drives the mouse, five people shout at them, and whoever is holding the laptop gets all the credit. GeoGuessr does have a group mode (Party), but the host needs a paid Pro subscription, and everyone still plays on their own screen.
So here are six geography games that work better when there's more than one of you, and an honest note on what each is good at.
The Short Version
| Game | Cost | Players | How you play |
|---|---|---|---|
| Find me (lesury) | Free | 1–12 | One TV shows the map; everyone pins countries or cities on their phone |
| GeoGuessr Party | Host needs Pro | Up to 100 | Street View, everyone on their own screen |
| WorldGuessr | Free | Private parties via link | Street View, everyone on their own screen |
| OpenGuessr | Free | Rooms and duels | Street View, everyone on their own screen |
| Seterra | Free | 1 | Click the country on a map quiz |
| Worldle / Globle | Free | 1 (daily puzzle) | Guess the mystery country from clues |
1. Find me
Full disclosure: we make this one. Find me is our free geography party game, built for a room instead of a laptop. The TV names a country (say, Bolivia). Everyone zooms the map on their own phone and drops a pin where they think it is. Then the TV lights the real country up and drops every pin on the map, farthest miss first, with a dashed line and the distance in km. That reveal is where the shouting starts.
It isn't a Street View game, so it's closer to a map quiz than to GeoGuessr: you get a name and need to know where it is. The host picks countries, capitals or big cities, the whole world or one continent, three difficulty levels, and whether the map shows borders or just coastlines. Free, no download, no account.
Where GeoGuessr still wins
- You love reading road signs and bollards. Find me has no photos.
- You want a ranked ladder against strangers. We're private rooms only.
2. GeoGuessr Party
The original, in group form. One person hosts a Party, everyone else joins with a code, and you all play the same locations. It's the real thing, with all of GeoGuessr's modes. The catch: the host needs a Pro subscription, and everyone needs their own screen to play on.
3. WorldGuessr
The closest free like-for-like. The same Street View drop-in, unlimited rounds, and private parties you can start from a shared link. If you want GeoGuessr without the subscription, start here.
4. OpenGuessr
Another free Street View game, with custom rooms and duels. Worth trying if WorldGuessr's maps feel stale to your group.
5. Seterra
A map quiz rather than a guessing game, and the closest thing to Find me's "find this country" format. Seterra has hundreds of quizzes (countries, capitals, flags, rivers) and is free. It's now owned by GeoGuessr. It's a solo game, so for a group it works best passed around or projected with someone shouting answers at the driver.
6. Worldle and Globle
Daily puzzles. Worldle shows a country's outline and gives you six guesses, with the distance and direction after each miss. Globle colours a 3D globe hotter as you get closer. Both are one puzzle a day, so they're more of a morning ritual than a game night, but they're good fun to solve together over coffee.
How to Run a Geography Game Night That Doesn't Die After Ten Minutes
- Start easy. "Find Brazil" gets everyone laughing; "find Liechtenstein" in round one gets the quiet ones to stop playing.
- Mix the formats. A Street View round followed by a map round keeps the experts from running away with it.
- Make the reveal the moment. Whatever you play, show the answer on the big screen. Watching your friend's pin land in the wrong ocean is the whole point.
Grab a screen, get everyone to scan the code, and find out who in your group thinks Chad is in Norway. Open Find me — free, no download, no account.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a free game like GeoGuessr for a group?
Yes. Find me on lesury is a free geography party game built for a room: the TV names a country, everyone pins it on the map on their own phone, and the TV reveals every pin with its distance in km. It takes 1–12 players and needs no download or account. It is a map game, not a Street View game.
Can you play GeoGuessr with friends for free?
Only partly. GeoGuessr’s group mode, Party, needs the host to have a paid Pro subscription, and everyone plays on their own screen. WorldGuessr is a free Street View alternative with private parties you can start from a shared link, and OpenGuessr offers free custom rooms and duels.
How does Find me work?
The TV names a country, capital or big city. Everyone zooms the map on their own phone and drops a pin. Then the TV lights up the real location and shows every pin, farthest miss first, with a dashed line and the distance in km. The host can choose the whole world or one continent, three difficulty levels, and borders or just coastlines.
How do I run a geography game night that does not die after ten minutes?
Start easy so everyone laughs in the first round: Brazil is a better opener than Liechtenstein. Mix formats, for example a Street View round followed by a map round, so the experts do not run away with it. And always show the answer on the big screen, because watching a friend’s pin land in the wrong ocean is the whole point.
