Thank you for taking time to look at my uPick idea. Where in the World is a riddle puzzle type game with a twist that you use pictures.

The idea

A user would make a new thread saying something like 'where in the world is this?' or 'Blingstr's world puzzle' and they would post a picture of anything (I don't mean anything but i will explain) an example would be a picture of a road with some trees, not very creative i know. Then users would have to guess where in the world the picture was taken :)
There could be clues in the picture or the post. Here is a better example;

Where in the world is this?

Ha ha good luck guys!

Uhh it looks like switzerland?

Mexico? :scary:

Nope sorry you are both wrong!

They have mountains in canada, is that it?

Correct it is Canada! I just found the picture off google :p

You could get the pictures from wherever you want or take them yourself as long as you know where it was taken.

I hope you get what i mean but if you have any questions on my idea then just ask.

That's a Cherry Blossom in front of Mount Fuji, meaning it's Japan.

I actually like this idea. :3

I'm pretty interested in these types of things, will you be able to win anything or is it just for fun?

You do know that this is not the thread to do that in yet don't you? This idea has to win first before we can do that.And the pic is the chicago river I think.

Because if you right-click and go properties you can see it is saved as something something chicago river :P

I'm not sure. I was thinking maybe i could award like 10 points if someone gets one right and at the end of the month the winner would win something. What does everyone else think of this?



Glad to see this has lots of interest everyone, thanks.

I am voting for this, good idea Blingstr, the only problem is that like you said, right clicking and checking its properties, could be a way of cheating, unless the poster changes the url

Unless the poster doesn't save the file as something like japan.png then it shouldn't be a problem.
