Watch the AI think

This is our favourite part. Lock in your guess and the AI's reasoning opens up beside the Street View: what it looked at first, where it turned and zoomed in, and which clues it trusted. Road lines, signs, plants, the sun, the soil. You read it step by step as it comes in, until it drops its pin.

Gemini plays from Street View pictures only, the same way you do. It never gets the coordinates, an address or a map. It looks around, asks for a closer look at whatever catches its eye, and makes its call.

Who gets buried?

After the reveal, someone ends up six feet under. Beat the AI and its logo lies dead next to its own grave: You are better than AI. Lose, and the stone carries your name while the AI looks on with evil red eyes: AI takes your job.

The reveal: the AI's pin 4 km from the answer, the player's on another continent — Gemini was 4 km away. Our tester was... on another continent.

AI takes your job: the player's grave and the evil AI — AI takes your job.

You are better than AI: the AI's grave and the player's bollard — You are better than AI.
