Name that Place! (A new game on GoSmokies!)

[Jigsha Desai]

Folks, we're trying a new game strategy on GoSmokies, thanks to member Glen Weatherly. I'm experimenting here to see how it works. And the photo below is of a hike I went on this weekend.

Please give it a try and share your feedback with both Glen and I. We are looking for an easy solution to implement a fun game on the site.

---

Welcome to “Name that Place!”; the new game that lets you view and/or submit pictures of various places or objects, found in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and allows you, or other members, to reply with a “guess” as to where, or what it is!

For starters, anyone can view the game pictures, however, only members can reply with an answer and find out if their guess is correct. So, if you haven’t already, please join the GoSmokies site.

To play the game members may either view the pictures (trying to guess where and/or what the item is), or submit their own pictures (for others to try and guess).

Viewing the pictures (or playing the game) couldn’t be more simple! We all do it subconsciously anyway when we see a picture; “where is that?”, or “I know where that is!”.

Can you guess where this is? Leave your comments or clue in the replies below.

No, not Greenbrier. Try again.

Hi Frank,
Thanks for the encouraging words regarding the new game!
While it's just a simple idea, there needs to be certain things happening behind the scenes to make it work the way I had conceived it. We still are not running as we'd hoped and are planning to correct a few things that will make a big difference. So bear with us please.
I am very excited to see the interest in the game; I believe it's one that we all play to ourselves every time we see a member's new pics, and should be even more fun when the game's details are worked out!
Suggestions are welcome.
Thanks,
Glen
