🌍 Inspiration

GeoGuessr, a geography game, challenges players to identify Google Street locations using visual clues, but they often rely on prior knowledge rather than deep learning insight. We noticed a lack of resources online to help beginner players, so we built GeoTrainer—an AI-powered geography game that not only tests players' knowledge but also explains why an image belongs to a specific country.

🔍 What it does

Players analyze Google Street View images and guess the country. Our AI provides feedback based on:

Road signs, languages, and text
Architecture and infrastructure
Vegetation, terrain, and climate
Street markings and traffic patterns

Unlike the existing GeoGuessr game, GeoTrainer teaches players how to improve over time through AI-driven explanations.

🛠️ How we built it

Node.js server handles requests and processes data.
Python Flask server sends images to OpenAI’s API for analysis.
OpenAI API extracts meaningful location-based hints from images.
Figma UI → React & CSS for a seamless and intuitive front-end experience.

🚧 Challenges we ran into

Matching GeoGuessr’s UI to replicate a familiar player experience.
Parsing AI-generated responses into relevant and understandable hints.
Making the game intuitive and accessible for both GeoGuessr veterans & new players.
