GeoGuessr launched in 2013 as a browser geography game built around Google Street View, challenging players to guess where a random photo was taken by placing a pin on a world map. Clips and streams of close guesses and instant fails spread widely on YouTube and Twitch, and short in-game UI sounds became familiar shorthand among fans. The tap is now reused far beyond gameplay, as a meme cue for making a confident guess, picking a location, or committing to an answer before it is proven right or wrong.
