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 @josepha, following the official Week 2 rubric for Geo-Quest Mystery.
Evaluation Summary
| Criteria | Score | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| 1. SteemAtlas Pin & Sound Description | 1.35 / 2.0 | The SteemAtlas pin is included with coordinates and a named location (“Sounds in Akwanga bush”, Akwanga, Nigeria) plus Google Maps/plus code. The sound setting is described (crickets, frogs, birds). To score higher, add more place clarity (exact spot name/landmark, what you see on arrival) and expand the sound layers with concrete details (wind through trees, footsteps on dry soil, water drip/flow, voices, distance/echo). |
| 2. Creativity of Mission & Hidden Sound Challenge | 0.40 / 2.0 | The location choice is natural and fits the sound theme (dry-season stream + wildlife). However, the required Hidden Sound Challenge is missing: there are no three hidden sound clues for others to guess. To improve, hide three sounds using short metaphor hints (without naming them) and invite readers to identify them after watching the video. |
| 3. Speem.watch Proof Video (20–60 seconds, focus on sound) | 1.80 / 2.5 | A proof video exists (YouTube via Speem.watch). The concept matches Week 2 (ambient wildlife sounds). To reach full points, ensure the clip is clearly 20–60 seconds, include a 10–15 second “standing still” moment to separate layers (crickets vs birds vs footsteps), and add a 1-line spoken intro naming the spot. |
| 4. Storytelling Quality | 1.30 / 2.5 | The post explains what sounds exist and where they come from (crickets in dry land, frogs near remaining water, birds in trees). To score higher, add a stronger narrative structure: when you arrived, what you felt, and a “one-minute listening” section (loudest sound, smallest sound, repeating rhythm, and one surprising sound). |
| 5. Engagement (Listening / Guessing others) | 0.00 / 1.0 | No engagement credit: you noted the participant did not comment on other entries or guess sounds/clues. Full points require guessing sounds on at least two other posts. |
Final Score: 4.85 / 10
Remarks:
This entry has a valid SteemAtlas pin and a suitable natural sound environment. The major improvements needed are: (1) add a proper Hidden Sound Challenge with three hidden sound clues, (2) strengthen the storytelling with a clear one-minute listening moment, and (3) complete engagement by commenting on at least two other participants’ entries and guessing their sounds.
