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 @kibreay001, following the official Week 2 rubric for Geo-Quest Mystery.
Evaluation Summary
| Criteria | Score | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| 1. SteemAtlas Pin & Sound Description | 1.55 / 2.0 | The SteemAtlas pin is correctly included with coordinates and a named location (Gangni bus station, Bangladesh), plus plus-code/map reference. The post explains the environment (road works, vehicles stopping, noisy surroundings). To reach full points, describe the soundscape more precisely: identify distinct layers (bus brakes, horn rhythm, engine idle, construction sounds, vendors/voices, and the birds mentioned in comments) and explain what is most dominant at a specific moment. |
| 2. Creativity of Mission & Hidden Sound Challenge | 0.85 / 2.0 | A bus station with road construction is a strong “sound-rich” location. However, the Hidden Sound Challenge is not fully implemented: it mostly states what exists (cars, horns, etc.) rather than hiding three distinct sounds as subtle clues for others to guess. Also, “cars, horses and hares” feels unclear/inconsistent and needs clarity. For higher points: hide 3 sounds with metaphors (e.g., “metal shouts,” “thin whistle,” “wings cutting the noise”) and invite guesses. |
| 3. Speem.watch Proof Video (20–60 seconds, focus on sound) | 2.05 / 2.5 | A proof video is provided (IPFS), and per your note it captures real traffic noise with bird sounds mixed in, which matches the theme well. To reach full points, include 10–15 seconds of standing still (less camera movement) so listeners can separate layers clearly, and add a brief spoken intro naming the exact spot. |
| 4. Storytelling Quality | 1.65 / 2.5 | The narrative explains your visit and reflects on noise pollution and how people adapt, which is relevant. But the Week 2 storytelling rubric rewards a more “sound-map” minute-by-minute listening passage (loudest sound, smallest sound, repeating rhythm, and one surprise sound). Adding that structure would significantly improve this score. |
| 5. Engagement (Listening / Guessing others) | 0.60 / 1.0 | Engagement exists, but based on your note it was mostly general comments rather than clear sound guesses/clue solving on other entries. For full points, the participant should comment on at least two posts and explicitly guess three sounds (or directly address their hidden clues). |
Final Score: 6.70 / 10
Remarks:
This entry has a valid SteemAtlas pin and an authentic, believable bus-station soundscape (traffic + horns + some natural birdsong). The main improvements needed to score higher are: (1) make the Hidden Sound Challenge truly “hidden” with three clue-style sound hints, (2) strengthen storytelling with a clear “one-minute listening” structure, and (3) make engagement comments more specific by guessing sounds on other participants’ posts.
