Dagens Nyheter's popular online game "Gissa platsen" (Guess the Place) is embracing a "Summer Sweden" theme, beginning on Sweden's National Day, June 6.

The game challenges players to navigate and identify randomly chosen locations across Sweden using Google Street View. Participants have three minutes to pinpoint their location on a map, with accuracy rewarded by points. Correct guesses within a close proximity earn the highest score of 5,000 points.

This special "Summer Sweden" theme allows players to virtually tour the country from their homes, testing and potentially expanding their knowledge of Swedish geography and landmarks. While all visitors can play one round per day for free, registered DN account holders can play all three daily rounds.

The "Summer Sweden" theme will run throughout the summer, after which the game will revert to its global format, featuring locations from around the world.
