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 @narocky71, following the official Week 2 rubric for Geo-Quest Mystery.
Evaluation Summary
| Criteria | Score | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| 1. SteemAtlas Pin & Sound Description | 1.55 / 2.0 | The SteemAtlas pin is included with coordinates and Google Maps/plus code. The sound description is rich and specific for a fish market: vendor calls, ice breaking, knife cutting, water splashing, fish movement, scales, plastic bag crinkle, wet-floor footsteps. To reach full points, improve the SteemAtlas pin label (it currently reads like the contest title rather than the exact market name) and add a short “listener anchor” line describing where to stand for the clearest sound layers. |
| 2. Creativity of Mission & Hidden Sound Challenge | 0.60 / 2.0 | The fish market is an excellent “sound-rich” choice and the text contains many strong sound elements. However, the required Hidden Sound Challenge is not clearly present: there are no three hidden sound clues written as hints for others to guess. Instead, most sounds are openly listed. To score higher, hide three sounds with clue-style metaphors (without naming them) and invite readers to guess them after watching the video. |
| 3. Speem.watch Proof Video (20–60 seconds, focus on sound) | 1.10 / 2.5 | A video exists and captures the fish market ambience (YouTube link). However, Week 2 expects a Speem.watch proof video (even if it uses a YouTube source). Since the entry appears to provide the video only via YouTube and not clearly through Speem.watch, full points cannot be awarded. To improve: post the clip via Speem.watch and keep it 20–60 seconds, with a short still moment so sound layers separate clearly. |
| 4. Storytelling Quality | 2.20 / 2.5 | Strong storytelling focused on sound: it clearly explains loudest vs smallest sounds and includes repetitive rhythms (calls, ice, cutting, water). The narrative is immersive and fits Week 2 well. For full points, tighten the structure into a clear “one-minute listening” section and reduce a bit of repetition. |
| 5. Engagement (Listening / Guessing others) | 0.40 / 1.0 | Engagement exists (you noted two comments on other participations), but it seems general and not clearly focused on guessing three sounds/hidden clues. Partial credit is fair. Full points require commenting on at least two entries and explicitly guessing their sounds/clues. |
Final Score: 5.85 / 10
Remarks:
This post has one of the strongest sound descriptions so far fish markets naturally produce very distinctive audio layers, and you captured them well in writing. The main scoring losses are from (1) missing a proper Hidden Sound Challenge (three hidden sound clues) and (2) proof video compliance (ideally via Speem.watch) plus (3) engagement comments needing clearer sound-guessing.
