A new game called BallotGuessr puts your political knowledge to the test by challenging you to guess how counties voted in the 2024 presidential election. Modeled after GeoGuessr, the game drops you into random Google Street View locations across all 50 states and asks you to determine whether residents leaned Democrat or Republican.

You can explore the environment for contextual clues like political signs, demographics, and local businesses before sliding to guess the vote margin. In daily challenge mode, you have just 30 seconds per round across five rounds to make your prediction. The game features 2,845 curated locations from Google Street View, with up to 15 locations per county.

The creator plans to expand BallotGuessr with data from the 2022 midterms, 2020 presidential election, and recent elections in France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. While it takes some political and geographical savvy to do well, the game offers a fun twist on the popular GeoGuessr format for election enthusiasts.
