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 @jannat7, following the official Week 2 rubric for Geo-Quest Mystery.
Evaluation Summary
| Criteria | Score | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| 1. SteemAtlas Pin & Sound Description | 1.40 / 2.0 | The SteemAtlas pin code is included with coordinates, plus Google Maps and plus code. The market atmosphere is explained well, and the soundscape description is relatively detailed (vendor calls, poly bags, weighing machine, money counting, rickshaws, baskets). To score higher, the SteemAtlas pin line should include a clear place name label inside the pin, and the post should identify 2–3 signature sounds that make this market unique compared to any other market. |
| 2. Creativity of Mission & Hidden Sound Challenge | 0.60 / 2.0 | The market choice fits Week 2 and the text contains many sound elements. However, the required Hidden Sound Challenge is not clearly implemented: there are no three “hidden” clues for others to guess (metaphor/hints). Instead, most sounds are directly listed. To improve: hide three distinct sounds in clue-style lines and invite guesses. |
| 3. Speem.watch Proof Video (20–60 seconds, focus on sound) | 0.90 / 2.5 | A Speem.watch link and IPFS video are provided, but you noted that music was added, which masks the authentic ambient sound and reduces proof value for the Sound Map. To score higher, upload a version with raw ambient audio only (no background music) and include a 10–15 second still moment so the layers are clearly audible. |
| 4. Storytelling Quality | 2.10 / 2.5 | Strong “sound-first” writing: it captures rhythm and repetition (vendor calls, crinkling bags, bargaining, sudden loud basket placement, distant horns). The narrative is immersive and matches the theme well. To reach full points: add a clearer “one-minute listening” paragraph and slightly reduce repetition so the arc feels tighter. |
| 5. Engagement (Listening / Guessing others) | 0.60 / 1.0 | The author commented on three participations, but you noted the comments were mostly general rather than clear sound guesses/clue solving. Partial credit is fair. For 1.0/1.0, the participant should explicitly guess three sounds on at least two entries (or address their hidden clues directly). |
Final Score: 5.60 / 10
Remarks:
This entry has strong descriptive writing and a believable market soundscape. The biggest scoring loss is the proof video audio integrity: added music works against Week 2’s “let the place speak” concept. Removing music, adding a proper hidden sound puzzle (three hidden clues), and making engagement guesses more explicit would significantly raise the score.
