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 @bossj23, following the official Week 2 rubric for Geo-Quest Mystery.
Evaluation Summary
| Criteria | Score | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| 1. SteemAtlas Pin & Sound Description | 1.85 / 2.0 | The SteemAtlas pin is clearly included with a named place (Ifa Atai Market, Uyo, Nigeria) and the post gives good location context (junction/road references). The soundscape is described in layers (entrance sounds vs inside market sounds), with concrete sound elements (hawkers, bikes, cutting, music, “children-love” sound). To reach full points, add one concise visitor-friendly line: where exactly to stand (a landmark inside the market) for the clearest “sound map” experience. |
| 2. Creativity of Mission & Hidden Sound Challenge | 1.85 / 2.0 | Very strong creative structure: the opening riddle, metaphorical hints, and the “identify these sounds” section function as a real hidden sound challenge. The clues are subtle but fair and tied directly to the video. To improve slightly, make the challenge explicitly “guess at least three distinct sounds” and confirm whether the “children-love sound” is intended as one of the three required hidden sounds. |
| 3. Speem.watch Proof Video (20–60 seconds, focus on sound) | 2.35 / 2.5 | The video is excellent for Week 2: authentic market ambience, clear audio, and it supports the written sound clues well. It feels like real proof rather than edited content. To reach full points, include 5–10 seconds of standing still at one point (less camera movement) to let listeners separate the sound layers more easily. |
| 4. Storytelling Quality | 2.30 / 2.5 | Strong storytelling and reflection: the post explains personal routine (why you go), your reaction to the market noise/cleanliness, and clearly answers the “one-minute listening” prompts (loudest, smallest, repeating rhythm, surprises). Structure is clear and engaging. Minor improvement: trim a bit of repetition and tighten a few paragraphs for readability. |
| 5. Engagement (Listening / Guessing others) | 0.80 / 1.0 | Engagement is present (you confirmed the author commented on several participations, and they also replied to comments with sound-guess interaction). To reach full points, ensure at least two comments explicitly guess three sounds on other entries (with short justification). |
Final Score: 9.15 / 10
Remarks:
This is one of the strongest Week 2 entries so far: great use of a “sound mystery” format, clear proof video, and a narrative that truly treats sound as story. With slightly clearer challenge instructions (“guess 3 sounds”) and a tiny bit more listening-focused stillness in the video, this would be near-perfect.
