The current experience
Play for perspective.
PINPOINT explores the idea of geography challenges with real-world asset rewards. The reward pool is currently a concept.
Today, this is a practice game. Points and reward examples are simulated. Wallet connections and real reward claims are not enabled.
Explore the ideaA few pointers.
Which location am I guessing?
Always the original starting point. Moving down the street gives you extra clues, but does not change your target. Use Return to start if you want to check it again.
Can I explore every street?
Each round has a connected set of real street photographs. The arrows take you through those available positions. When a direction ends, you can head back.
Will the same photos keep appearing?
Starting points rotate until you have seen them all. Your browser remembers the ones you have visited. Walking back deliberately revisits a photo; clearing browser storage resets your history.
Does loading use up my time?
No. The clock starts once the first view opens and pauses while you move to another photo. If a photo fails to load, retry it or return to start. Your remaining time is kept.
Can I play on my phone?
Yes. Drag to look around, pinch to zoom, tap the street arrows to move and tap the map to place your pin. JavaScript needs to be enabled to play.
Where do the street photos come from?
The connected street photos come from Panoramax. Every scene links to its original photo and license. Photo capture dates are shown in the game.
Do I need a wallet or pay to play?
No. The current practice demo is free and needs no wallet. Real reward claims are not available.
Ready to look around?
Your next discovery starts with one pin.
