RE: SC-S29|Geo-Quest Mystery – Week 2: The Sound Map
Thank you for your participation in Geo-Quest Mystery – Week 2: The Sound Map. Here is an evaluation of the post by @marwene, following the official Week 2 rubric for Geo-Quest Mystery.
Evaluation Summary
| Criteria | Score | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| 1. SteemAtlas Pin & Sound Description | 1.75 / 2.0 | The SteemAtlas pin is included with clear coordinates and a named location (Ferme Abdallah, Tunisia). The post also provides practical context (area, environment, sound sources), which helps readers imagine the setting. To reach full points, keep the place name spelling consistent (Abdalah/Abdallah) and add one short “visitor-friendly” line describing what you hear immediately upon arrival. |
| 2. Creativity of Mission & Hidden Clue | 1.55 / 2.0 | Choosing an animal-focused soundscape is a strong and original interpretation of the Sound Map theme, and the “blurred final animal” twist is engaging. To score higher, the hidden sound challenge should rely more on indirect clues (metaphors/hints) rather than listing many animals/sounds explicitly, so the mystery element stays stronger and fairer. |
| 3. Speem.watch Proof Video (Focus on Sound) | 2.35 / 2.5 | A direct Speem.watch link is provided, and the concept clearly prioritizes ambient sound (with mention of using an external microphone). For full points, add a very short spoken intro (location + “Sound Map spot”) and ensure a few seconds of stable visual markers before letting the audio lead. |
| 4. Storytelling Quality | 2.25 / 2.5 | The narrative is immersive and structured around listening (“one full minute” approach), with effective contrast between heavy, sharp, soft, and “foreign” voices. The link back to the Week 1 journey is clear and meaningful. It could be even stronger with 2–3 ultra-specific sound details (direction, echo, distance, repeating rhythm). |
| 5. Engagement (Comments / Sound Guessing) | 0.4 / 1.0 | The participant actively interacted in the comment section, replied to multiple users, and encouraged sound guessing—especially valuable as an early/first entry that helped kickstart engagement for Week 2. To secure full points in future weeks, clearly show (or mention with links) guesses made on at least two other participants’ posts. |
Final Score: 8.3 / 10
Remarks:
This is a creative and well-presented Sound Map entry with a distinctive “living voices” atmosphere and a strong sound-first approach. The key upgrades to reach the very top scores are: (1) keep the hidden sound challenge more “hidden” through metaphor clues, (2) add a short spoken intro in the video for stronger proof, and (3) document engagement beyond replies by visibly guessing sounds on other entries.
