A geolocation guessing game powered by Google Maps helped make a TikTok user famous for finding obscure items in videos and publishing where they can be found, NBC News reports. The game called "GeoGuessr" shows users an image and they have to guess where the image came from in the world. TikTok user "Rainbolt" became so good at guessing image locations on GeoGuessr, he started taking user submissions to find items in videos and went viral on TikTok for finding a New York City bagel from another user's video.
