Summary
Highlights
A forested area with white posts topped with yellow and green signs with 'Hades commune' lead to discussion of European locations. Despite the Sidemen's attempts to mislead him, Josh pinpoints Denmark based on distinctive bollards and general European characteristics.
A beautiful, mountainous coastal area with a French flag and later signs with specific Norwegian spellings like 'Tromso' and 'Laksvatn' confirms Norway. They located a spot near Bergen, demonstrating good deduction despite the scattered information.
Identifying Cyrillic script on signs, driving on the right, and the Google car having no visible antenna points to Russia. The landscape is green and flat, leading to a guess near Moscow.
A dusty, flat, open area with English signs mentioning 'county roads' and 'Tall Grass Prairie Preserve' clearly indicates the USA. They consider North Dakota due to 'Bison Loop' but eventually go for Oklahoma, showing they can still get close even with minimal clues.
The video introduces a Geoguessr challenge where Ethan, blindfolded, attempts to beat the Sidemen with the help of a professional Geoguessr player, Oscar 'Zigzag', in his ear. The Sidemen aim to prevent Ethan from winning by giving him conflicting or unhelpful information.
The first location appears mountainous with white-lined roads and chalets. They identify white number plates and Spanish words, leading them to quickly guess Andor. Despite some misinformation from the Sidemen, Ethan and Zigzag correctly pinpoint Andor, taking an early lead.
The second round places them in a green, flat, and forested area with yellow road markings and red fire hydrants. Signs like 'Borbin County' and route '460' point to the USA. They eventually narrow it down to Kentucky near the 460 road, though they initially consider Michigan.
They encounter signs in an Asian language and observe driving on the left side of the road. With phrases like 'Resurrection Street' and 'Zambales', they correctly identify the Philippines, despite initial confusion from the Sidemen who try to suggest other Southeast Asian countries.
The location features water tanks on roofs, orange roof tiles, and dusty roads. Spanish words like 'Rodo Viara Hospital' and the suggestion of 'Brazil' lead them to guess Sao Paulo, Brazil, with good accuracy.
They find themselves in a mountainous region with Turkish language signs and English hotel names. Despite minimal information, Josh quickly guesses Turkey accurately, highlighting his Geoguessr skills.
A Spanish-speaking location with signs like 'Cervicio de Lubric' and road E382, combined with the name 'Kovito', leads to identifying Ecuador. They specifically pinpoint near Quito, despite the Sidemen's attempts to confuse them.
This round features a barren, dry landscape with barely visible road lines. The sun's position helps place them in the northern hemisphere. A sign reading 'Belvader' and 'Tel Yavas' eventually confirms it's Turkey again.
They identify a Canadian flag and a speed limit sign of '50', confirming Canada. The landscape is flat with trees in the distance, suggesting a prairie region. They narrow it down to Manitoba near Lake Winnipeg.
This location is characterized by a bridge, two yellow road lines, and English language signs including 'Marshall County' and 'KY Shores'. This points to the USA, specifically Tennessee, near the 68 road. The Sidemen's attempt to distract them with 'Panama' or 'Costa Rica' fails.
They find themselves in an English-speaking location with high-rise buildings and cars driving on the left. Mentions of 'Shamsen airport' and various street names, combined with the mountainous backdrop, lead them to quickly identify Hong Kong.
They encounter 'RP' on signs and words like 'Alamat' in an Indonesian/Malaysian language. Despite initial thoughts of Indonesia, the high amount of commercial signs suggest Singapore. The Sidemen try to influence guesses toward other countries like Philippines.
The final round starts with black and white curbs, a museum, and English/German signs. Key clues like 'Robben Island', 'penguins', and 'South African flag' quickly point to Robben Island near Cape Town, South Africa, resulting in a crucial win for Ethan's team.
A scenic, dry, coastal location with Greek language signs, double yellow road lines, and mountains confirms Greece. Specific place names like 'Komotini' help narrow down the location to northern Greece, close to Thessaloni.
They observe a regular European road with 'autobus' signs, blue strips on license plates, and a red flag. The name 'Lapia' on a bus leads to the correct identification of Latvia, specifically a coastal port. The Sidemen’s attempts to distract them with 'Albania' fail.
The last location features American signs, including 'Family Dollar' and 'Great Basin Museum.' The crucial clue is 'Delta UT', confirming Utah as the location. They successfully pinpoint a spot in Southern Utah, securing a final victory for Ethan's team.
