HOW TO PLAY

Look. Think. Guess.

Learn the basics of TommyTrace, from reading real-world clues to placing your map guess and choosing the right game mode.

How a TommyTrace round works

  1. Look around. Move through Street View and inspect the scene for useful geography clues.
  2. Read the clues. Roads, languages, signs, architecture, vegetation, weather and terrain can all narrow down the location.
  3. Open the map. Choose the place where you think the round started.
  4. Place your guess. Confirm your marker before the timer expires in timed modes.
  5. Check the result. TommyTrace reveals the actual location, your distance and your round score.

Simple geography tips

  • Check which side of the road vehicles use.
  • Look for language, road-number formats, flags and place names.
  • Notice utility poles, road markings, bollards and traffic signs.
  • Use climate, mountain shapes, coastlines and vegetation as regional clues.
  • Do not rush one clue; combine several clues before placing your marker.
