Field notes
The homepage lays out five clues, one map pin for each, and a scoring ceiling of 25,000 points. Its two listed past rounds provide answer lists with a mix of screen locations, music landmarks, and places behind fictional stories; a video-game category is marked as coming soon. The page credits OpenStreetMap contributors and OpenFreeMap for map material and disclaims affiliation with the referenced rights holders.
