Thank you for your participation in Geo-Quest Mystery – Week 2: The Sound Map. Here is an evaluation of the post by @dove11, following the official Week 2 rubric for Geo-Quest Mystery.
Evaluation Summary
| Criteria | Score | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| 1. SteemAtlas Pin & Sound Description | 1.80 / 2.0 | The SteemAtlas pin is included with coordinates and a clearly named place (Namokar Honda, Modipuram, Meerut, India). The post explains the context well (power outage, generator, showroom sections) and describes sound differences between sales vs service areas. To reach full points: add one short “visitor-friendly” line (what to notice immediately on arrival + the most defining sound in the first 10 seconds). |
| 2. Creativity of Mission & Hidden Sound Challenge | 1.30 / 2.0 | Very original “sound map” location: a scooter showroom during a blackout, with distinct sound zones (generator hum, negotiations, tools, engine revs). However, the hidden sound challenge is not fully compliant: sounds are largely stated directly rather than hidden through 3 subtle clues, and the “No one / Says…” acrostic-like block is intriguing but not clearly framed as a sound-guess puzzle. For higher points: hide three specific sounds using metaphor hints (without naming them), then invite guesses. |
| 3. Speem.watch Proof Video (20–60 seconds, focus on sound) | 2.00 / 2.5 | A direct Speem.watch clip link is provided, and the post clearly aims to capture real ambient audio across sections. For full points: keep a short segment where you stand still (10–15 seconds) so the sound layers become clearer, and add a 1-line spoken intro (“Sound Map spot: Namokar Honda, Modipuram”). |
| 4. Storytelling Quality | 2.20 / 2.5 | Strong, vivid sound narrative with a clear “one full minute” listening moment and concrete sound hierarchy (generator, highway, negotiations, wrenches, air tools, backfire/throttle). The contrast between showroom polish and workshop grit is effective. To improve: tighten the arc slightly (setup → 1-minute listen → reflection) and reduce repeated “persuasion” phrasing by swapping in a few sensory details (echo, distance, direction, rhythm). |
| 5. Engagement (Listening / Guessing others) | 0.80 / 1.0 | Good engagement: you commented on other participants and identified sounds you heard (e.g., guessing an animal sound, noting wind/song/duck, etc.). To secure 1.0/1.0 consistently, make sure you do this on at least two entries and explicitly guess “three sounds” per post when possible. |
Final Score: 8.1 / 10
Remarks:
This is a highly “sound-readable” entry with clear section-by-section audio identity (generator + negotiation + service tools + engines). The biggest upgrade to reach top-tier scores is to make the hidden sound challenge more rule-perfect: three hidden sound clues, not directly listed. Also, a small safety note: avoid sharing personal phone numbers in posts (even as a funny anecdote), since it can create unwanted follow-up or privacy risk.
— Geo-Quest Mystery Jury
Accepted! But there is a strong hidden sound guess which no one has disclosed yet despite providing a strong hint in the content. Thanks for your evaluation.
