Random Fact Feature
Overview
The Random Fact Box is a fun and educational feature designed to help users improve their GeoGuessr skills by learning and recalling useful geography-related facts. These facts provide hints about various countries and regions based on subtle visual cues found in the world of street view. By engaging with these facts, users will enhance their ability to recognize and remember key details, which are valuable during GeoGuessr gameplay.
How It Works
- Display on Load: Each time the website is loaded, a new random fact will be shown at the top of the page.
- Interactivity: You can click anywhere in the fact box to reveal a completely new fact. This makes it easy and interactive to explore more facts as you navigate through the site. See below for an overview of the facts pool.
- Hidden Keywords: Most facts contain a blurred keyword, typically the name of a country. Hovering over this blurred text will reveal it, adding an element of challenge. The idea is to encourage users to recall the information before revealing it.
- Timed Reveal: If a user doesn't reveal the blurred keyword within 2 minutes, it will be automatically displayed. This ensures the information is eventually shown, even if the user doesn’t interact with it directly.
Device Behavior
- Desktop and Larger Devices: The Random Fact Box is displayed at the top of each page, serving as a constant source of new knowledge for users exploring the site.
- Smaller Devices: To keep the user interface streamlined and avoid overcrowding, the Random Fact Box will not appear on mobile or smaller screens.
User Experience
This feature is built to be simple yet effective. By encouraging users to recall the hidden information before revealing it, the Random Fact Box makes learning more active and engaging. The fact that the box is interactive and easily refreshed helps maintain interest while exploring the site.
By incorporating these random facts, CrazyGuessr becomes more than just a training tool—it turns into a resource that constantly enhances your geographical knowledge in subtle but effective ways.
