RE: Phulbari Vegetable Market, Dinajpur
Thank you for your participation in Geo-Quest Mystery – Week 2: The Sound Map. Here is an evaluation of the post by @mainuna, following the official Week 2 rubric for Geo-Quest Mystery.
Evaluation Summary
| Criteria | Score | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| 1. SteemAtlas Pin & Sound Description | 1.70 / 2.0 | The SteemAtlas pin is included with coordinates and a clear named location (Phulbari Vegetable Market, Dinajpur). The post also gives strong local navigation context (behind Kali Mandir, near Nimtala intersection, Library Road) and clear market timing. The sound description is good and specific (vendor shouting, vehicles, delivery vans). To reach full points, add one concise “listener anchor” line: what you hear first at the entrance and what the dominant sound is at peak time. |
| 2. Creativity of Mission & Hidden Sound Challenge | 0.70 / 2.0 | The market choice is perfect for a Sound Map and the post includes real sound-focused observations (“fresh vegetables” call, price whispered). However, the Hidden Sound Challenge is missing in the proper Week 2 format: there are no three hidden sound clues for others to guess. To score higher, hide three sounds using short metaphor hints and invite readers to guess them after watching. |
| 3. Speem.watch Proof Video (20–60 seconds, focus on sound) | 1.40 / 2.5 | A video proof exists (YouTube), and based on your note it captures authentic market ambience (voices + vendors talking). However, the Week 2 requirement is a Speem.watch proof video. Since the post is “Posted with Speem” but the proof is shared only as a YouTube link, full points cannot be awarded here. To improve: publish the clip via Speem.watch (even if YouTube is the source) and ensure the duration is 20–60 seconds with a short still moment so the sound layers are clear. |
| 4. Storytelling Quality | 2.10 / 2.5 | Strong “sound narrative” structure: time window (5–7 AM peak), crowd behavior, clear loudest vs smallest sounds, repeated calls, and a realistic sensory snapshot of deliveries and movement. To reach full points, add a sharper “one-minute listening” moment and include 1–2 surprising micro-sounds (flip-flops, bags sliding, coins, bird layer, etc.). |
| 5. Engagement (Listening / Guessing others) | 0.20 / 1.0 | Engagement appears limited: you noted the author commented on only one other post. Full points usually require listening to at least two entries and guessing their sounds/clues. |
Final Score: 6.10 / 10
Remarks:
This is an authentic and well-located Sound Map entry with clear market identity and strong sound observations (especially the contrast between loud vendor calls and whispered prices). The main score losses come from (1) the missing Hidden Sound Challenge structure (three hidden sound clues), (2) proof video compliance (ideally via Speem.watch), and (3) limited engagement across other entries.
