How TorontoGuessr works

A street-guessing game built around real Toronto Street View imagery. Read the city, drop your pin, and find out how well you really know the 6ix.

01Explore the panorama

Each round drops you into a real Toronto Street View. Pan, zoom, and look for clues: signage, transit, storefronts, and skyline.

02Drop your pin

Click the interactive map where you think the photo was taken. Reposition as many times as you like before the timer runs out.

03Score by distance

The closer your pin lands to the real spot, the more you score, up to 5,000 points per round.

04Finish & climb

Play five rounds, save your name, and compete on the daily, weekly, monthly, and all-time leaderboards.

How scoring works

Every round is scored purely on how close your guess is to the true location.
