I propose adding a feature that displays the total hours a player has spent in GeoGuessr, similar to how Steam tracks playtime for games. This would add an interesting competitive and analytical aspect to the game.
Product Value:
  • Competitive Aspect: Seeing how much time other players have spent in the game can add a new layer of competition. Players might feel motivated to improve their skills based on their hours played.
  • Skill Assessment: Playtime can serve as an indirect measure of experience, helping players gauge the skill level of their opponents before a match.
  • Community Engagement: Long-time players could gain recognition for their dedication, and newcomers might find inspiration in seeing high playtimes from top-ranked users.
  • Data for Personal Progress Tracking: Players could track their progression over time, seeing how many hours they’ve played versus their ranking improvements.
Implementation suggestion:
  • The playtime metric could be displayed on the player’s profile, visible to everyone or just to friends, depending on privacy settings.
  • A breakdown per game mode (Ranked, Casual, Battle Royale, etc.) could add even more insight.
