Watch out! "Where am I?" from the Quiz Olympiad will return soon - hope you're looking forward to it.
After a trial run in the Quiz Olympiad earlier this year, "Where am I?" makes a return to the forum.
For those who have not seen the game yet or simply forgotten, here is a quick round-up of the game:
The Aim:
To guess the train station featured on a small map extract.
Rules/Game-play:
(The game essentially runs like Guess the station in style). If you guess correctly then it is your turn to post a map or you can call open floor, allowing other members to contribute.
It is upto you what map you choose to use, though the most acceptable ones would include an OS extract, google satellite view or bird's eye view, but not a terrain map etc. To do this you can use various websites including:An ideal extract would be a size of around 200px like the example below (or larger for satellite images)
An easy one to start things off:

- Maps are in UK only
- Maps can feature NR, preserved or metro/LUL stations
- If more than one station can be seen on an extract, please indicate when posting which is to be guessed
- You are allowed to block out place names from extracts (providing it is subtle) and rotate images but no other form of doctoring is allowed)
