Daily Challenge Improvement
Hello,
Thanks for having this suggestion site. It's great to see this game has support on your side!
I come from the competitive gaming community. I love GeoGuessr, and I think the Daily Challenge is a great opportunity to grow the game, or at least to give it a more visible, competitive aspect.
Currently, the Daily Challenge is not what I would call competitive because of the "Refresh Exploit" whereby a competitor can simply reset his timer on a round by refreshing his browser -- or even refresh the challenge altogether by deleting his recent browser cookies.
I have two questions/suggestions:
1. Would it be possible to have an option so that challenges -- or at least the Daily Challenge -- tracks user progress on the server side, instead of on the users' side? I'm not a dev, but I think this would be a necessary first step in what I'm about to suggest in #2.
2. Would it be possible to have an option so that in a challenge -- or at least the Daily Challenge -- closing or refreshing your GeoGuessr tab during a round results in a score of zero (0) for that round?
With my limited knowledge, I suspect something like this is possible? But I don't know how much work it would take. I think legitimizing the Daily Challenge in this way as a competitive game could lead to more interest in GeoGuessr.
Thank you,
Frank
