The hardest way to play Battle Royale Distance...

- Can I beat 9 other random players on battle royale distance without moving, panning or zooming and only having 1 guess per round? Surely not.. but while I'm still in the bronze league now's the time to do it!
If you were expecting something a bit more juicy, don't worry, Mission Across Scotland Part 2 drops on Sunday at 8pm. Don't miss it!
At this rate, the next upload is gonna see Tom simultaneously playing three games of GeoGuessr Battle Royale while crossing Brazil in a straight-line.
I want him to walk along the trans-Siberian. Sure, he’d probably die, but if he doesn’t, he’s gonna get all the subs, and tons of money for more projects.
This comment reminded me of that Simpsons episode in which Bart plays three games of chess at the same time.
that's something to do right before you retire
Crossing brazil in a straight line is surprisingly doable. One could do it in 5km or so in the southern most point of the country. Mostly open and flat grasslands.
@@thumss oh that doesn't count... one of these days i was thinking about an objective way to define if a line is valid or not, it is very arbitrary
Challenge idea: You can move, zoo and pan but you arent allowed to zoom on the map
That sounds pretty cool, honestly!
yes great idea
@Michael Smith But interesting to see if he remembers closely where cities are without being able to see them written on the map.
I think he already did it
That's a great idea!
Should wait until the very end of the timer before making the guess, so that the others don't have time to react if your guess would make them want to make another.
I was thinking the same thing.
On the other hand though they waste their guesses faster if they do. Maybe depending on the situation he can guess using both methods
@@t-movb3969 That's true. The more the others use their guesses early the less they have to spam at the end. If you're confident in where you are, down to where it's unlikely everyone will get a better guess, an early guess would probably be better!
Last round should be waiting to the last moment.
If he guesses first, then nobody else can claim the extra guess from guessing first, but I think your strategy is better long term
"I don't like Israel........... as a guess"
Skirting dangerously close to world politics there Tom 😂
That was very close hahahaha nice save Tom nice save...
Nobody likes Israel...... As a guess
Hello. I am Issac Newton
Well. Israel doesn't have a country
@@fideldesu A country can`t have a country.
Love that immediate regret after blurting out "Boyakasha".
15:22
He'd be a good actor for The Office
@@arkesh110 thanks for the time stamp :)
"in fact I'm never gonna do that again"
Ali G refrence
“Buyakasha! That’s one up from get in, that’s gonna come out very rarely, in fact I’m never gonna do that again”
Never change Tom, never change😂
😂😂😂
_Tom sees anything_
*Tom everytime* : "Could be Poland"
@ it works only if you are very ignorant/inexperienced in the region
And this time in Poland
Tom: "Could be USA"
@Morgan Tennant plus that one in poland looked like allotments (ogródki działkowe)
Seems like Tom might have German heritage ;)
@Morgan Tennant i think everytime: it could be anything around the world...
“That’s an absolute raging stonker” 😂😂
Boyakasha! Haha
I read this before he said it and thought it was a negative thing.
Cant believe we got a booyakasha.
Quick tip for France rounds : roads that start with "D" aren't unique. There are multiple roads marked as D138 because those are limited to departments (think of them as counties), so don't bother searching for them in battle royale unless you're absolutely sure of what department it is haha
Pretty surprised he doesn't know this.
Bump
@@ianbent0n tbh i'm french and i didn't know this
I think he might have known from the way he said he was going to look for 'a' D138 (in the UK for example he'd say 'the B138') and from the way he said there's loads. Not sure like, just trying to vouch for him 😂
Yeah he knows that, but at that point he had no more info and some time to use on the slight possibility he stumbled upon one of them on the map
I was SO relieved I was moved to a different lobby. Seeing Blue Tick Tom Davies struck the fear of God in me. Woulda got wrecked on stream 😭
Thank you for getting me into geoguessr 🙂
Could've won too
you shoulda stayed in, could have beat his ass^
@@TheSinnedY I just meant I didn't want to end up on a Geowizard video :'D
LOL! Next time give it a go! What if you beat him? You could STAR in one of his videos!! 🤩
@@kariyapuff Still kinda did anyway! lol
Geowizard and the lock picking lawyer are what a real life Oceans 11 team would look like
Add in the Carwizard and Beau Miles
I would pay to see that. Maybe Wubby too for comic relief, or day release
And maybe Anton Fomenko
The tool that *guess country * Bill and him made
@@yespur87 I'm gonna go Bosnia...
Actually, the hardest way would be doing it blindfolded :D
Liquid GeoWizard coming soon?
GeoWizard joins team liquid
God mode: playing GeoGuessr NMPZ, blindfolded and while on fire.
Maybe that could work as an actual video if Tom got a friend to try and describe the rounds
That's not hard, since you can't really put any effort into it.
“Weird cars....”
“They seem to be american”
😂
lets go canada
@@fosterseth Let’s go Ragina
That New Zealand round scared the shit out of me when it popped up, a solid 3 minute drive from my house lmao
It’s always really weird to get a place you've been to
Same here, as soon as it popped up I knew exactly where it was and was yelling out Auckland, Auckland to no avail!
laughs in Germany having basically no Street view
who else wants to see tom actually play a normal round to see him absolutely destroy everyone else
So basically how you were playing it the first time
underrated comment
Lol
I’m sure it will read “Are we recording?.. Yes we are.” On Tom’s gravestone.
Not "get in"?
@@OntarioTrafficMan that’s the best tombstone line ever 🤣
@@OntarioTrafficMan A bit morbid but maybe that too 😂
"Are we recording? ...not anymore 😔"
You should try and win a game where you play until the final round and then leave it in the hands of Verity for the finale
That actually sounds amazing!
Pretty sure you are trying to break their relationship :D

I might be misunderstanding how it works, but shouldn't you always enter your guess at the very last moment? If you're only giving yourself one attempt per round, entering your guess before the timer runs out just gives the other players a chance to react and try to overtake you. Good luck in the next one!
But the 9 other players are all playing against each other, so it only takes one to guess right off the bat and then the others will follow to see how far away they are from the top answer, so it probably wont make much of a difference as I see it.
@@weegaz22 plus, if your guess puts yourself in between the top player and another person, you will actually mask how far they are from the top player
@@weegaz22 its all about the bottom 2 players. If tom guesses and is 1 from the bottom, the bottom player will try to get a better score. If you guess in the last second that bottomplayer wont be able to guess anymore
@@Muncles yeah your right, didn't think of it from the last place point of view
1 guess, NPMZ, with Ludwig explaining to you the screen
Ahahahah, you sick bastards
I want to see it!!!!!
Definitely
Good job man! It would actually be best to wait until last second with your guess, so that no one else gets a chance to amend their guess and overtake you.
“I’m gonna look for the D-138”
TOM NOOO ITS NOT WORTH IT
5:30 a.m. in America and I'm watching Tom Davies. Lovin' life!
Same
Same tho. 5:38 am now!
East coast? 1/4 of the country down.
19:45 in Australia and I'm writing this comment! Love people who use 24-hour format!
2:30 am for me and I have to wake up in 3 hours
“Get in” count = 2
Definitely not a video I should have been late to comment on...
@15:22 not entirely sure what he said there but we got one! Not really a “Get in” that I was expecting. Not complaining though. However, not a conventional get in.
@19:39 a “get in” of relief. Honestly, I’m actually on the edge of my seat as I’m paused to write this....
Are you the official Tom's "Get in" counter?
@@Z3t487 I’m simply a humble servant
Keep hustling brother, I’m watching your efforts with great joy
@@dannygraham4924 your words give me life
That Poland round you lost on, the curtains gave it away that its most likely somewhere in central/eastern Europe.
bro ngl i legit said poland, just because the trees and the way the house's roof looked. and im legit terrible at geoguessr prolly better now that i have watched tom for so long but still, i def wasnt good before.
Idea: A Diverse World, but Tom is blindfolded and Verity explains the surroundings. Moving panning or zooming is optional, depends on how easy or hard it is.
I got an absolute raging stonker watching that
Very excited for Mission across Scottland Part 2 :))
7:30pm in australia and I’m watching Tom Davies! Living the dream
Australian dinnertime release gang
@@abiramen gang gang
@@abiramen haha!
Maybe he’s secretly the Everton midfielder Tom Davies
Was just thinking about when a new GeoWizard vid would pop up, and lo and behold!
Lol me too, was just thinking about watching the first scotland episode tonight as I have some free time. Just brought geoguessr pro and also won distance royale without panning moving or zooming and thats just from watching Tom and his tips
The true hardest format - no moving panning or zooming and no zooming into the map
Tom challenges himself so much into new scenarios that I wouldn't be surprised if one day he tried NMPZ battle royale while being blindfolded
@@thatalchemistlady Blindfolded? He accidentaly close the game.
@@thatalchemistlady with an exasperated Ludwig trying to describe the scene to him
Homer Simpson: here to mock u
Tom: and I took that personally
If you see modern buildings like that in Laos, it'll always be Vientiane. :)
The hardest way to play battle royale is to by playing against Tom himself
I think you should try and guess in the last second so the other players don’t have time to adjust their guesses 🤔
Thank you! I was looking for a comment about this. I’m really surprised more people didn’t point this out. Knowing where he guessed gives others helpful information
Yesterday with my first attempt I succeed to win a distance battre royale with a no move challenge ! Thanks to ur vids and knowledge !
Damn, seeing a place you go past regularly is really a strange experience, been watching you for a few years and this is the first time, that being the Auckland round (which is right next to a school that many people I know went to)
When you’re doing this mode, you should hold your guess until the last second, particularly in the later rounds. If you put in a guess early, the other people will be able to spam guesses until they get one better than you. If you guess at the last second, they don’t have a chance to see that you’ve passed them and by how many miles and make a guess based on that. It makes it so that if they aren’t really sure and they either put their guesses all in the same (wrong) area or just kind of spread their guesses around everywhere you can sneak in with the closest one at the last second without them having a chance to respond to your guess.
Quick tip for the Quebec round at 7:15- if you notice the cars in the parking lot don't have front license plate. No cars in Quebec have front government issued plates
20:45 Some clues there should have been the apartment blocks, which were very South American. Also the width of the road, as well as the amount of lanes and straightness of it, it was obviously a capital or big, largely planned city. The most obvious clue were the buses and bus lanes, though, to me. Instantly recognisable as Bogota's excellent public transport.
I was like "Colombia, this gotta be Colombia. Isn't is Colombia. Come on it's Colombia." in my head.
Not to mock him, he is still insanly better at this game I am ^^
Another huge clue is Movistar arena. Movistar operates only in Spanish-speaking countries.
Please keep the "booyakashaw" GET IN. It's joyously real and infectious.
The level of my challenges: trying to get to round 2 without googling
"I'm impressed...with myself." And super humble I might add.
"Multiple guess malarkey" made me laugh way too hard. You are a gem GW.
the 'pencil trees' mean high snow load. The branches would otherwise break. but usually they are also very north and low light levels
I loved the Borat line "buyakasha" I love Borat, I love Tom good combo.
I like how Enigma in the beginning immediately rejoined after seeing Tom join
In this format it would be the wisest to guess as late as possible. You can't change it anyway, and that way you don't give other people the opportunity to "leech" off your guess by watching the distance change; especially in the later rounds.
Tom, as soon as you reach level 15 (silver division), things will get like A LOT harder. So just play a bit more in bronze, after that, you will get it difficult again with higher ranked players.
He can also select lower division play for these challenges
10:52 Are We filming sounded so calm and happy XD
When I recommended this format to you on patreon, I never would have guessed you would go and actually try it. Let alone get 2nd! You absolute madman.
Me coming to see his video to see dark magic at it's purest form.
In this mode you should definitely guess in the very last second because the other players can use your guess to make theirs better! But well played Tom! It's certainly not impossible to win like this!
Tom: guesses US, when it's Poland
Also Tom: laughing over Zoe guessing US when it's Latvia
tbf, Zoe had the luxury of being able to look and move around
If you are reading this, thank you for making my study breaks enjoyable half of my first uni year should be accredited to you:)
That Colombia guess was so intense!!
Quick tip for the german ones - there was a dark mailbox with kinda saddleback roof on top and a symbol on it called a 'Posthorn'. These are distinctively german and you will find them on many one-household properties across the country.
Your last mission video is fantastic! Really looking forward to Sunday!
"Huh weird cars, look American"
Goes straight to Canada
you're not gonna believe what the name of the continent is, on which Canada is located
"Please be shit, Zoe, please be shit. Yes! Keep being shit!"
11:00 making a ghost very happy
try this challenge: you have one degree of freedom. that means you are allowed to do one of the four things:
-moving
-panning
-zooming
-click multiple times
you can choose every round, what you wanna do.
I know this videos old but it’s the one I’m watching tonight. I always put on your videos before I sleep, and I was just watching YT shorts for around 30 minutes before this. I called my cat up earlier and she wouldn’t come, but as SOON as she heard your voice she’s here. She knows it’s sleepy time when I put on GeoWizard 😂
Hey Tom, for the finals round, wait until the last second to place your guess. This way the other person can't use your guess to get closer to the location. It will even out the playing field for you and them.
Tom: Those are weird cars, aren’t they?
Me: Are we looking at the same cars? Those are just normal cars mate.
so close, amazing effort! keep going til you win!! you got this tommy
why did "please be shit zoe" make me cackle so hard
It's time to accept the fact that Tom is not only a god at geoguessr, but also a fucking comedian. Love watching your videos!!!
I haven't watched any of the real life series because I'm saving them for when I really need them, I know they're going to be amazing and don't want to spoil it yet 🤣🤣
15:32 - I thought I was playing Hitman. :) Thanks for the video, duder!
Tip for guesses in Canada:
- Quebec cars only have licence plates in the back, their street lights are sideways and everything is in french lol
- If you see many smaller cars or german cars, it's in a bigger city (usually east coast - Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal)
What gave away Germany at around minute 16 (the one with the leaves):
There was a mailbox that had a horn on it. The horn is the logo of the german postal service.
Additionalluy it seemed to be garden allotments for rent, which is probably more common in Germany than elsewhere
Isn't it also on the swiss Postal service ?
That logo is in several countries.
Hyped for the mission across Scotland, love from Birmingham 👍
cant wait for scotland
11:53
,,Come on, Kamil. Be awful. Be absolutely awful"
Narrator: ,,He wasn't"
I really loved your "booyakasha!" Please keep doing it!
so close to 1mil! keep up the great work we all love you tom!
"Absolutely raging STONKER!"
Couple things that could help in the future, in the last round the lettering said "Movistar Arena", Movistar is telecom company operating mainly in Spain/Hispanic countries. And, as a German, that one round in Germany was relatively easy to discern because of that letterbox, i haven't seen those sloped roof style letterboxes much outside of Germany (And it even had the 'Deutsche Post' horn on it).
Great job! Love these tense battles!
Loving the straight line videos mate, trying to think of another format to suggest for you! I'll let you know in the Scottish part 2 :)
'you gunna watch this weeks episode of GOT?'
'no I'm staying up to watch Tom and a welshman try to get through a power plant in a straight line'
Who wont
This is great!! I think once you've made your guess, you should pan round to see if you would change your mind at all. The guess is already done so it wouldn't change anything.
17:44 Hi Tom, FYI, road numbers in France starting with a D are known as Routes Départementales. Départements are small pieces of land (there are around 95 of them in Metropolitan France). You will find a road named « D1 » or « D144 » or « D820 » in almost all départements. So it is useless to search for « D138 » unless you know in which département you are in. You can know the département by different hints such as the departement number, or a big city nearby that could indicate more or less which departement you are in. Good luck!
For this strategy I think it's best to guess quickly, before others. In case you appear in the middle of the list, you'll be hiding the real distance to the ones on top of the list from the ones on the bottom. If you are the last to guess, those in the bottom will already have seen the distance to the ones on top.
"I don't really like Israel...AS A GUESS, SUSAN"
Tom, you should guess last because others can use the distance from you to get closer to the target if you are close
would be great to see this format with other professional players doing the same! :)
I think a build-up to this would be quite cool where you are allowed to move and pan etc but still are only allowed one guess which still seems quite difficult seeing as other people are allowed multiple guesses. Then as you win with those conditions you can continuously make them harder until you reach this point again, almost like a final boss battle. Just a thought I had :)
Great video! This is a challenging format! I tried this with silvers and golds and I could only do it with a random insane guess in a Christchurch parking lot and then getting North Island right in the final. Btw Israel has the European license plate format (wide) and Colombia has the American 'square' plate. Israel also uses the white European road signs with a red border, not the yellow American ones.
Booyakasha! I is here with none other than my main man, Tom Davies. Geography - is well important, innit?
Cheers for the lift home. You are so close to a milly
Lol schlackaboom or whatever you said. Hilarious, don't be afraid to do that again hahaha
I personally like when he pans and zooms (not move) because it helps us and it’s interesting to see how Tom thinks
for the round at about 11:00, i was thinking alaska. because on the concrete blocks it said "5mph" and in canada they use kmh. the location ended up being beaver creek which is just over the alaskan border but im sure if you guessed alaska you wouldve gotten the number 1 position
Staring at a brick wall.....
"Could be Chile...."
16:50 - Sweden has the yellow background on signs like speed limits, basically red outline but yellow background. Norway has a white background tho, so if it's between the two, that's one way to tell.
That was still very good. Good job! You'll get it next time.
