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 @nhriyad, following the official Week 2 rubric for Geo-Quest Mystery.

Evaluation Summary

CriteriaScoreComments
1. SteemAtlas Pin & Sound Description1.45 / 2.0The SteemAtlas pin is included with coordinates, plus Google Maps and plus code. The post describes a clear “public market” setting and mentions multiple sound sources (vendor calls, bargaining, bag clink, footsteps, rickshaws, horns, weighing scale, baskets). To reach full points, add a clear place name label (market name) in the pin/title and give 2–3 signature sounds that make this market distinct from other markets (for example: a specific call phrase, a unique tool sound, or a nearby landmark sound).
2. Creativity of Mission & Hidden Sound Challenge0.55 / 2.0The market is a correct sound-rich choice and the writing is sound-focused. However, the required Hidden Sound Challenge is not clearly present: there are no three hidden sound clues written as hints for others to guess. Most sounds are listed directly. To score higher, hide three sounds (metaphor/hints) and explicitly invite readers to guess them after watching.
3. Speem.watch Proof Video (20–60 seconds, focus on sound)2.05 / 2.5A Speem.watch link and IPFS/stream video are provided, which satisfies the proof requirement. The theme matches (market ambience). To reach full points, include a brief “standing still” segment so layers separate clearly (calls vs footsteps vs bags vs distant horns), and avoid fast camera movement so the audio remains stable.
4. Storytelling Quality1.80 / 2.5The narrative explains why you go, what you notice, and how silence helps separate sounds. The writing is coherent but stays quite general and repetitive. To score higher, add a sharper “one-minute listening” structure (loudest sound, smallest sound, repeating rhythm, surprise sound) with a few vivid micro-details from your exact visit.
5. Engagement (Listening / Guessing others)0.70 / 1.0Engagement credit is given because you confirmed the author commented on other participations. To get full points, engagement should see explicit sound guesses / clue attempts on at least two other entries (naming 3 sounds per post and explaining why).

Final Score: 6.55 / 10

Remarks:
This is a valid Sound Map entry with correct SteemAtlas + Speem.watch proof and a realistic market soundscape. The biggest improvements to reach a high score are: (1) add a proper Hidden Sound Challenge with three hidden sound clues, and (2) strengthen storytelling by turning the sound description into a clear “one-minute listening” scene with specific details unique to this market.
