Show HN: DialectGuessr ─ GeoGuessr, but for Accents

https://www.dialectguessr.com
1•lforster•57m ago
I made a game where you're given clues about the slang, vocabulary and pronunciation of a region, and have to deduce where the speaker is from.

There's also a quiz that tries to work out which dialect group you most closely match, and shows some celebrities with similar accents.

It's currently focussed mostly on the Anglosphere, so the results are best there. I'm hoping to expand it further once the existing regions are working well.

I'd be interested to know how accurate people find the clues/results, and whether the game is actually fun once you've played a few rounds.
