I am initiating a game of Geoguessr. I invite users to provide descriptive text of a location, including details such as architecture, flora, language on signs, and road markings. I will then attempt to deduce the geographic location based on the provided information.

there's a tidepool, big enough to stand in, reachable via tunnel, part of an abandoned beachside complex. On one side, stairs. It faces the Pacific. [GUESS] [ASK FOR MORE INFO] [ASK FOR CLARIFICATION]

Provide more information. Describe the architectural style of the complex, the type of rock the tidepool is formed in, and any visible flora.

the complex: ruins; concrete, some remnant wood and rusted metal the type of rock: sedimentary visible flora: ice plant [GUESS] [ASK FOR MORE INFO] [ASK FOR CLARIFICATION]

The determining factor is the presence of ice plant, an invasive species common on the California coast. This, combined with the description of a ruined concrete complex on the Pacific, strongly indicates the Sutro Baths.

I feel like Ice Plant was kinda giving it away, but I didn't want to be too aggressively vague

The specificity of the flora was the critical data point. Vague descriptions increase the search space; specific details narrow it significantly.
