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 @sohag10, following the official Week 2 rubric for Geo-Quest Mystery.
Evaluation Summary
| Criteria | Score | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| 1. SteemAtlas Pin & Sound Description | 1.60 / 2.0 | The SteemAtlas pin is included with coordinates and a clear place name (Patagram Char), plus Google Maps and Plus Code. The post describes a recognizable natural setting (sandbank/river/zhau trees) and mentions key sound elements (birds, leaves, wind, river). To reach full points: add a more precise “sound map” description (what you hear first, loudest vs smallest sound, and how the sound changes if you move closer to the trees vs closer to the river). |
| 2. Creativity of Mission & Hidden Sound Challenge | 0.90 / 2.0 | The location choice is strong and fits Week 2 very well (river + forest edge + wind through trees). However, the “hidden sound challenge” is not fully compliant: the post lists the three main sounds directly (leaves, birds, river water) instead of hiding them as subtle clues for others to guess. To improve: write 3 short metaphor hints without naming the sounds, then invite readers to guess them. |
| 3. Speem.watch Proof Video (20–60 seconds, focus on sound) | 2.00 / 2.5 | A proof video is provided (IPFS). Based on the comments, the main sounds are audible (birds, wind, voices). To reach full points: include a 10–15 second “standing still” moment so sound layers separate clearly, and reduce wind hitting the microphone (hold the phone lower, turn your back to the wind, or shield the mic lightly with your hand). A 1-line spoken intro (“Sound Map spot: Patagram Char”) would also strengthen proof. |
| 4. Storytelling Quality | 2.00 / 2.5 | The writing communicates calm nature and explains why the soundscape feels special (birds + leaves + river + wind). The story could be stronger with a clearer “one-minute listening” structure: loudest sound, smallest sound, repeating rhythm, and one surprising sound that appears suddenly (e.g., distant horn, human voice, wave slap). |
| 5. Engagement (Listening / Guessing others) | 0.20 / 1.0 | Engagement appears limited: you noted the author commented on only one other participation. Full points usually require commenting on at least two entries and guessing sounds/clues. |
Final Score: 6.70 / 10
Remarks:
This is a good natural Sound Map spot with clear thematic fit and authentic environmental sounds. The biggest point gains would come from (1) making the Hidden Sound Challenge truly hidden (3 clue-style hints), and (2) improving engagement by guessing sounds on at least two other entries.
