One of the most popular games in Fortnite has nothing to do with the actual title, its Battle Royale, or even its thousands of side modes and Creative maps. Instead, it’s Fortnite Geoguessr. A take on the popular location finding game, but in Fortnite.

How Does Fortnite Geoguessr Work?

Using external tools, Fortnite Geoguessr can be played pretty easily! There are multiple providers of this game. While they are all external, not in the game’s launcher itself, it is based entirely around the worlds of Fortnite. You’re basically dropped in a random spot in Fortnite’s history, and you need to use context clues to figure out exactly where you are.

Fortnite Geoguessr is one of the most fun types of Geoguessr. While the title was initially limited to just real-world locations, people have made their own versions of Geoguesser using fictional worlds from games. An opportunity for players to showcase their knowledge of various in-game maps. Fortnite Geoguessr is one of the most fun. This is how it works:

Fortnite Geoguessr Explained

Fortnite Geoguessr isn’t a mode in Fortnite, but a separate game that’s for fans of Fortnite. While playing Fortnite Geoguessr, you randomly find yourself in a various section of the map. looking around, you have to pin point just where you are without any extra information.

It all hails from a game that was based around Google Maps at first. Players were put down on a random piece of Street View and had to determine their location from context. It’s a fun little game that’s gone on to even be a notable esport. Appearing at the Esports World Cup and being a lot more fun to watch than its premise might suggest.

A Fortnite version of it is the same, but for Fortnite. if most of off your expert knowledge is in the intricacies of the Fortnite maps over the years instead of real-world geography, this will work for you! You can use geogessur to show off just where you are in Fortnite. The various Geoguessr providers have a few different ways to play too. So, you can dial things in to the map you like the best. or even the Fortnite season you prefer.

The Fortnite Geoguessr game is a fun way to test out your knowledge, but you can’t play it in Fortnite. It would be a bit memory intensive even for the Fortnite UnrealFN tools. Instead, outside games have made it available. Using step by step snapshots of the Fortnite map, like Google maps in the original Geoguessr. Instead of actually letting you walk around the Fortnite map.

Fortnite Geoguessr is a bit of a different though. There’s not just one world in Fortnite. You can use different seasons, different Chapters, every version of Fortnite. If you want to play, there’s a few different options.

To play the Fortnite Geoguessr game, you just need to head to one of these platforms. Then decide which maps and other features you want to use.

Different Maps

One of the most exciting parts of the Fortnite Geoguessr is that it’s really open. Most of the providers have ways for you to play pretty much any point in the game’s history and specific Fortnite season. That starts with Chapter 1 Season 1. Back where half the map was copy and paste POIs. That might make it difficult to actually narrow down.

But as we go on, there’s more maps which might be easier to guess. Like alter Chapter 1, where the map was full of iconic locales. The modern maps likely have their fans too. So, if you feel at home in Chapter 4 or even 5 you can find that map too. Some like the Simpsons mini map might be pretty difficult. The shorter a map was around, the harder it is to remember.

Once you know how to play Fortnite Geoguessr, how can you get ahead? It’s a tricky game at first.

If you spent a ton of time grinding out Fortnite ranked in the past, you might be fine. But for a lot of players, it can be tricky. The biggest thing to focus on is getting your bearings.

If you’re playing completely random, figuring out which map you’re on is important. You can probably tell this from the art style. Each map has had a specific look which is really easy to narrow down in the Fortnite Geoguessr.

After that, it’s a matter of finding out where you are. If you’re right in the middle of Tilted, it’ll be easy. But for a lot of spots, it’s trickier. You’ll need to look all around for a point of reference. A lot of Fortnite POIs go quite high, so look around and keep a focus on the verticality. Once you find a landmark you can start to figure it out.
