How are scores calculated

Cant seem to figure out numerical relationship to score vs KM

  • Hi Hal

    Thank you for playing the beta and taking the time to write to us. The scores are calculated using a mathematical function with the distance as one of its in-parameters. However exactly what this function looks like is an area that we're constantly tweaking.

    Kind regards

  • Well I just got a location within about 5 meters and scored 5000
    Next round I was 1.2k away and scored 4994.
    That seems a bit odd.

    Is the max. score per round still 6000+?

  • I think the max score is 5000 and your score halves for each additional 1070km you are away from target. So ~1070km gives you 2500, 2140km gives you 1250 pts, etc.

  • Hi Scott

    As Luke stated the current max score is 5000 per round, however this is a constant area of improvements so this may change in the future. The "sweet spot" that gives max score also depends on what map etc. you're playing.

    Kind regards

  • Hello and thank you for this game! I am well traveled on the rural roads in the US, but I would like a more detailed map to guess my location. How can I zoom in not only on the image but also on the map. I may be just an ignoramus when it comes to this! I have been inspired to drive and observe more and may in future seek out these great intersections.

    Thank you for playing!
    On the map where you place your guess there are plus/minus buttons on the upper left corner of the map (round white buttons with black symbols).
    Just let me know if you have trouble finding this and I can send you a screenshot.

    Kind regards

    On a worldwide map, what is the maximum distance you need to guess from the actual point to still receive the perfect 5,000 points? I had 5,000 points at a guess 42 yards from the actual.

    Thanks

  • Hi Grant,

    It's a somewhat complicated process to figure out the distance needed to get 5000 points as it depends on the size of the map. On a small map (a city map for example), being a couple of kilometers off isn't as impressive as being a couple of kilometers off on the world map. To add to the complexity, (official) maps can also be adjusted to make them easier/harder, so that we can tweak the scoring level if we find the map too easy/hard. The scoring algorithm takes all these parameters into account when calculating your score.

    So unfortunately I can't say on top of my head what's the maximum distance allowed for 5 000 points on specifically the world map. I hope you understand.

    Cheers,
    Jesper
  • Can you maybe post the function that you are using to calculate the scores, including all the parameters?

  • How does the scores work as I can find no consistency
    297 km away I got 685 points
    2 km away I got 4932 points which is a loss of 1.7 point per 50m
    100 m away I got 4996 points which means a loss of 1 point per 25m.
