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 @mahadisalim, following the official Week 2 rubric for Geo-Quest Mystery.
Evaluation Summary
| Criteria | Score | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| 1. SteemAtlas Pin & Sound Description | 1.50 / 2.0 | The SteemAtlas pin is clearly included with coordinates and the location name (Comilla Shalban Buddhist Monastery). The post also provides helpful visitor details (opening hours, ticket information, travel date). The soundscape description is present but remains quite general (mostly tourist excitement). To reach full points, add 3–5 distinct sound layers (footsteps, echoes near structures, wind/trees, distant voices, ticket-counter sounds) and describe how they change across different areas of the site. |
| 2. Creativity of Mission & Hidden Sound Challenge | 0.60 / 2.0 | The location is meaningful (a historical site with weekend activity), but the hidden challenge is not sound-based. Asking “How many rooms are there?” is a factual quiz, not a “guess three sounds from hidden clues” task. Also, the room count is left incomplete (“… rooms”). For a higher score, hide three sounds using subtle metaphor clues (without naming them), then invite others to guess after watching the video. |
| 3. Speem.watch Proof Video (20–60s, focus on sound) | 1.40 / 2.5 | A proof video is included (IPFS) and the author states the focus is sound. However, the audio is mainly visitor background noise during a walk-through, without highlighting a specific sound “moment” or layered soundscape. To improve: keep it 20–60 seconds, add 10–15 seconds standing still so the sound layers become clear, and optionally include a one-line spoken intro naming the exact spot. |
| 4. Storytelling Quality | 1.90 / 2.5 | The post has a clear structure (entry → walkways → underground remains → tourist movement), and it connects to the author’s personal Geo-Quest journey and hometown identity. It would be stronger with a more “sound-first” narrative: loudest sound, smallest sound, repeating rhythm, and one surprising sound detail. |
| 5. Engagement (Listening / Guessing others) | 1.0 / 1.0 | The participant actively engaged with other entries and commented by identifying the sounds heard, which aligns well with the Week 2 requirement of listening carefully and making sound guesses. |
Final Score: 6.4 / 10
Remarks:
This is an authentic entry with strong location documentation and solid community interaction. The main improvements needed to score higher are: (1) deepen the soundscape description with multiple specific audio layers, (2) redesign the hidden challenge into three hidden sound clues, and (3) make the proof video more intentionally “sound-map” focused (still moment + clearer sound emphasis).
