PlaceZap

Instant Street View Guessing Game for Teams & Events

What is PlaceZap?

PlaceZap is a competitive geography game where players view a street view location and race to guess where it is on a map. Hosts pick locations, set timers, and watch the leaderboard update in real-time as players compete for the closest guess.

No accounts, no apps to download — just instant geography fun. Perfect for team building, classrooms, social events, or any group that wants to test their location knowledge.

The Problem It Solves

Most geography games are designed for solo play or require subscriptions and account creation. When you want to run a quick geography challenge for a team meeting, classroom, or party, the setup friction kills the momentum.

PlaceZap is built for hosts. Create an event in seconds, share a code, and everyone's playing instantly. Distance-based scoring rewards accuracy, and the real-time leaderboard keeps competition exciting. Events auto-clean after 7 days — no lingering data, no maintenance.
