Geoguessr is an online game that has captured the hearts and minds of geography enthusiasts all over the world including my friends and me. It is a game that challenges players to guess their location by dropping them onto a random location in Google Street View. Players can move around and explore their surroundings, gathering clues to help them make an educated guess about their location. The game has become incredibly popular, with a devoted following of players who enjoy challenging themselves and others to see who can guess the most locations correctly.

As avid users of GeoGuessr, my friends and I have been deeply affected by the recent changes to its payment model. We used to engage in friendly competitions, trying to unlock as many countries as possible on Maprunner. This not only provided us with hours of entertainment but also significantly improved our geography skills. We learned how to recognize different languages and geographical features, turning a simple game into an educational tool.

However, since GeoGuessr introduced its new pricing model, we've found ourselves unable to continue enjoying this valuable resource. The price is simply unaffordable for many of us who see it as more than just a game; it's a tool for learning and expanding our knowledge about the world.

GeoGuessr's shift from being free-to-play has not only impacted us but countless others worldwide who used this platform for education or leisure. It's worth noting that studies show educational games can enhance learning outcomes (source: American Psychological Association), making platforms like GeoGuessr crucial in today's digital age.

We urge the developers at GeoGuessr to consider reverting back their pricing model or introducing a more affordable alternative that allows everyone access to this incredibly educational tool. Please sign this petition if you believe in the importance of accessible learning tools like GeoGuessr.
