About Guess the Ark

A free, fan-made GeoGuessr-style game that lets you test your knowledge of ARK: Survival Evolved maps through immersive 360° panoramic challenges.

What is Guess the Ark?

Guess the Ark is a free browser-based geography guessing game inspired by GeoGuessr, but designed specifically for fans of ARK: Survival Evolved. Instead of guessing real-world locations, you're dropped into random spots across your favorite ARK maps and challenged to figure out exactly where you are.

Using high-quality 360° panoramic images captured from various locations throughout ARK's diverse landscapes, you'll explore your surroundings, study the terrain, and place your guess on the map. The closer your guess is to the actual location, the higher your score!

Whether you're a veteran survivor who knows every corner of The Island or a newcomer looking to learn the maps, Guess the Ark offers a fun and engaging way to test and improve your ARK navigation skills.

Our Mission

Our goal is simple: to create an entertaining and educational experience for the ARK: Survival Evolved community. We believe that knowing your way around the ARK maps is an essential survival skill, and what better way to learn than through a game?

We're committed to:

  • Keeping the game free: Guess the Ark will always be free to play, no subscriptions or paywalls
  • Expanding content: Continuously adding new panoramas and maps to keep the game fresh
  • Building community: Creating a space where ARK fans can challenge themselves and each other
  • Maintaining quality: Ensuring every panorama provides a fair and engaging challenge
