About Contour Guesser
Each round shows a rendered view of hills and peaks. You match their shapes and heights to the contour lines, where close lines mean steep slopes and each summit is labeled with its height and whether it's covered in snow, rock or grass. Then you drop your figure on the map and rotate it to match the view, using an angle ruler under the image to measure the gaps between peaks.
