Put an unfamiliar satellite image on a shared screen and give everyone time to choose a location privately. After the reveal, ask each person to explain one clue they used. A colleague who works with rivers may focus on the drainage pattern; someone who maps transport networks may start with roads.
This is a suggested activity for a GIS team. You can use a geography game to select locations and keep scores, or prepare a small set of images yourself.
Keep the first guess independent
Collect guesses before discussing the image. Otherwise one confident explanation can become the whole group's answer before anyone has looked closely.
Ask people to keep their original notes after the reveal. Compare the clues they actually used with those that only seem obvious once the country name is known.
Give different specialties a turn
Rotate who begins the discussion. Have that person point to a visible feature and explain how it affected their guess. Invite an alternative interpretation before moving to the next round.
Familiarity with a land-cover type does not necessarily identify its location. Discuss whether a clue narrows the region or simply describes something that occurs in many places.
Add an image review round
If you prepare your own images, include the acquisition date and resolution in the answer notes. Reveal those after the guesses and discuss how they affect interpretation. A missing road may be newer than the image; a small stream may be below its resolution.
Only use images you are allowed to share with the group. Publicly available imagery is a straightforward choice when colleagues work with confidential project data.
End with a place worth revisiting
Choose one round where the team disagreed. Open a wider view of the location and trace the feature that caused the disagreement. Keep the location in a shared note if someone wants to compare it with a similar landscape later.
