About NYCGuessr

NYCGuessr is a browser-based location guessing game modeled after GeoGuessr, using live traffic camera feeds from the New York City Department of Transportation across all five boroughs. Players view a live camera feed, drop a pin on a map to guess the camera's location, and are scored based on the distance between their guess and the actual camera position. Standard games consist of 5 rounds lasting 40 seconds each, with a maximum possible per-game score of 25,000 points. The game is limited exclusively to New York City traffic camera locations, with no support for other regions or camera types.
