And white circular water tanks are found in a specific region in the south of Turkey. Geoguesser came out in 2013, but Rainbolt only started studying at a competitive level a little over a year ago. Now, he studies lampposts and plant species full-time. “I've really dedicated any ounce of free time I've had over the past 14 months,” he says. “Now I just sit here and study all day or I play the game and just kind of train my brain to remember different countries.” But playing Geoguesser alone doesn’t make Rainbolt any money. “I played the game for close to a year without it ever making me a single dime just because I truly enjoyed learning about the world,” he says. Rainbolt can even tell the difference between dead grass or plants in different countries and uses the direction of the sun to identify the hemisphere. But rather than memorizing plant species, he says an intuition developed after playing the game for countless hours.

And sometimes, people reach out to Rainbolt for help. One man emailed Rainbolt a video from when he proposed to his wife 13 years ago in Japan. Due to hurricanes, he couldn’t propose in the spot he wanted to and didn’t remember the actual location. The man proposed on a random road but remembered the bus he took. And Rainbolt figured out the distance to Mt. Fuji in the background of the video. “I was able to geo-locate the exact road he proposed and sent him the coordinates 13 years later for him to go back and relive that moment with his wife,” Rainbolt says. “There's been a lot of people like that I've been trying to help because of that … It's really rewarding to have an impact.” .
