- Worth noticing
- The archive spans places from Matterhorn to Washington Square Park; the page names AWS Terrain Tiles and NYC Open Data as map sources.
Field notes
Rounds are listed in an archive by map number, difficulty, and place, including Gale ridge, Kirkjufell, and Washington Square Park. The current Dead City prompt gives players five hours before its answer appears; other entries show open answers or shorter countdowns. The page says its terrain uses AWS Terrain Tiles and its New York buildings use NYC Open Data, and says a requested city may appear in a future map.
