Well done, @KongoLandwalker! I tipped you 50 mana as promised :)

I’d love to hear how you found it, very impressive!

@arbitrary If you want market to last longer you might want to do something like this:

The photo was sliced in pieces and we had to partially solve the puzzle before having features to start the search.

@KongoLandwalker That’s an interesting idea! I’ll think about doing something similar for the next one!

@KongoLandwalker What was your approach for solving this one? πŸ‘€

@arbitrary I made a guess it is Japan or South Korea. In Japan there is a maps-application called yamap.com . One guy made a photo of the same location (but half meter to the side) and uploaded it there, so it could be found by google as a "similar one". Then I had to look through his photo library to track his path (he started walking from Shibuya and periodically made photos of his path). I compared railways on the japanese map and on the google map to limited the region to Itabashi city. Then I translated the description under his photos to have a general idea of nearby streets and started to "walk around" in google streets.
