Story
GeoGuessr is fun. GeoGuessr in your own town is *better* — you spot the dorm you lived in, the building your 8 a.m. is in, the corner of Mass Street with the weird statue. So I built one for Lawrence.
Five-round game, drop a pin, distance-based scoring, real leaderboard with server-validated scores so nobody can fake their way to the top. I curated about 167 locations covering KU campus, Mass Street, dorms, and the parts of Lawrence that locals will recognize at a glance.
