The whole
product.
RadioGuess is a geography learning game where players listen to real radio stations from around the world and guess which country they're hearing. The game features immersive Google Street View backgrounds with validated coordinates for 153 countries, real-time radio streaming through an intelligent CORS proxy, scoring with speed bonuses and streak multipliers (100pts base), Google OAuth + email/password authentication, global leaderboards in 3 categories, player statistics, favorites, and a guest mode with 10 free plays. The system includes automated station health monitoring that replaces non-functional stations, server-side score validation to prevent cheating, and a neon radio-themed design system. Built with Next.js 15, React 19, TypeScript, MongoDB, and deployed with a curated dataset of radio stations across 153 countries.
