Moore Group is delighted to present When On Google Earth 100 after Declan solved Ferhan’s When on Google Earth 99(which was Erebuni Fortress in Yerevan, Armenia). Started by Shawn Graham back in January 2009, the game owes it’s origins to a geological game (Where on Google Earth) which has been around for a little longer. Shawn has a near complete list of the previous winners here.
The Rules of When on Google Earth are simple:
Q: What is When on Google Earth?
