RE: Los sonidos ambientales del final de la Avenida República, Ciudad Bolívar
Thank you for your participation in Geo-Quest Mystery – Week 2: The Sound Map. Here is an evaluation of the post by @enrisanti, following the official Week 2 rubric for Geo-Quest Mystery.
Evaluation Summary
| Criteria | Score | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| 1. SteemAtlas Pin & Sound Description | 1.80 / 2.0 | Excellent SteemAtlas pin with a precise reference point (Final de Avenida República, frente a Banesco, Ciudad Bolívar) and clear location context (two avenues, traffic light, peak hours). The soundscape is detailed and realistic (engines, horns, distinct vehicle types, plus birds). To reach full points, add one short “listener anchor” line: where to stand (by the central garden / under palms) and what you hear first in 5 seconds. |
| 2. Creativity of Mission & Hidden Sound Challenge | 1.70 / 2.0 | Strong creative layer: the “contradiction” of heavy traffic + blackbirds (torditos) nesting in palms is memorable and well explained. The hidden sound challenge is well designed with three clue sentences that invite guessing without directly listing answers. To improve slightly: make the clues a bit more sensory (tone/rhythm/distance) to sharpen the “sound puzzle” feel. |
| 3. Speem.watch Proof Video (20–60s, focus on sound) | 2.10 / 2.5 | Updated: since the proof video is posted via Speem.watch and Speem supports YouTube source links, the requirement is considered met. The audio concept matches the theme (urban traffic layers + birds + human presence). To reach full points, ensure the clip includes a brief “standing still” moment (10–15 seconds) so the layers separate clearly, and include the direct Speem.watch link prominently in the entry for easy access. |
| 4. Storytelling Quality | 2.20 / 2.5 | Very solid narrative: routine visits, time-of-day context, and a strong observation about birds adapting to a noisy environment. The writing helps readers “hear” the place before watching. To reach full points, add a more explicit one-minute listening paragraph (loudest vs smallest sound, repeating rhythm, and one surprise sound). |
| 5. Engagement (Listening / Guessing others) | 1.00 / 1.0 | Full credit granted based on your confirmation that the author commented on other entries and participated beyond their own post. |
Final Score: 8.80 / 10
Remarks:
This is a strong Sound Map entry with clear urban sound layers and a distinctive natural element (torditos nesting in palms) that makes the location unique. The remaining improvements are mostly “polish”: clearer “one-minute listening” structure and making the sound clues more sensory.
