Terrapoint (Hats off, Immersive Labs)

Small clues about the labs I consider most important, after solving all of them: Norway and Rwanda; but this is just the beginning of your journey :).

Because for the others in the collection, I want to think that you are capable of looking up a phone number: right? ;).

The most evil labs, Norwegians and Rwandans ones (in my opinion): In both cases, you must make the most of every pixel in the image provided: such as signs, symbols, and landmarks; once you have done so, try to find out where you really are!.

And that's how I won them over: study where that road begins and ends... and simply let yourself be carried away by it, kilometer by kilometer.

Tip: don't trust primary sources, they are wrong!: for example, on the main roads of that African country.

  • Hats off to you! Huge respect for solving these beasts.
    The Norwegian one at least has a sign you can read. Solving that last one with zero visible signage is straight up wizard-level.

      About the Norwegian one... I ended up researching Norwegian newspapers on the Internet about that specific area :D. But indeed, the one from Rwanda (without the main clue) would be very difficult to solve, in my opinion.

      Hi xchenoh​ 

      Another clue about the last lab in this collection: if my memory serves me correctly, the road where the photograph was taken starts in Kigali and runs through the west of the country, from north to south.

      I suggest you start at the southern end, near the border with Burundi: can you identify common features along that road, kilometer by kilometer, that will allow you to pinpoint the exact location to complete the lab? :).

  • Yeah, my advice would be to take notice of signs, visible transportation hints & geography (coastlines, elevation)
    xchenoh​ The last one there is one sign that you can just about make out a few letters that were very helpful!😉
