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 @max-pro, 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 correctly included with coordinates and a clear place name (Mirzapur bypass bus stand, Mirzapur, Bangladesh), plus Google Maps. The post identifies key sound sources (bus horns, brakes, honks, conductor calls, CNG horn) and explains why this station sounds distinctive. To reach full points, add one short “listener anchor” line: where to stand for the strongest sound layers (near shelter vs near flyover) and what you hear first within 5 seconds. |
| 2. Creativity of Mission & Hidden Sound Challenge | 1.10 / 2.0 | The bus stand is a very appropriate “Sound Map” location and the text captures different sound characters (truck horn vs thin CNG horn, conductor persuasion lines). However, the hidden challenge is closer to a spoken-quote quiz (“What was he saying?”) than a sound-guess puzzle with three hidden sounds. To score higher, hide three sound clues (e.g., “metal screams,” “thin whistle,” “voices hunting seats”) and let others guess them after listening. |
| 3. Speem.watch Proof Video (20–60 seconds, focus on sound) | 2.20 / 2.5 | A proof video is included (IPFS), and it captures the real congestion soundscape (horn layers, engines, shouting). This fits Week 2 well. For full points, keep a 10–15 second “standing still” segment so listeners can separate layers clearly, and avoid panning too much so the audio stays stable and comparable. |
| 4. Storytelling Quality | 2.10 / 2.5 | The narrative is clear, personal, and grounded in lived routine (why you go there, what you heard, the surprise thin horn, conductor dialogue). To improve: tighten into a stronger “one minute” listening passage and add more sensory sound descriptors (echo under flyover, distance, rhythm of horns, sudden bursts). |
| 5. Engagement (Listening / Guessing others) | 1.00 / 1.0 | Full credit. The author shows strong engagement across the week (you noted they commented on many posts), and the comment section demonstrates active interaction around guesses and replies. |
Final Score: 8.10 / 10
Remarks:
This is a strong, authentic Sound Map entry with a convincing real-world soundscape (traffic jam + horns + conductor calls) and good SteemAtlas documentation. The main upgrade to reach top-tier scores is to make the Hidden Sound Challenge fully aligned with Week 2: three hidden sound clues (not a factual/quote question), so the mystery stays sound-based.
