Has anyone else tried out the new GeoGuessr / Geocaching partner game? (sh.itjust.works)

If anyone wants to play: https://www.geoguessr.com/geocaching

It's pretty cool to get to play GeoGuessr again! I missed it a lot when they switched it to being pay-to-play only. In this new version, it looks like they've added a timer, though, which I think makes it pretty stressful.

I don't really see the specific connection to Geocaching though ("There's a geocache hidden near that location"? That could probably be said of almost anywhere in North America and Europe). Getting to a Geocaching souvenir is a nice perk, although you don't seem to even need a GC account to play it.

Has anyone else tried the game? Thoughts?

I love geoguessr, and have recently bought two giftcards to extend my subscription another two years, but I can't find where to enter them on the system...

I refuse to add my credit/debit card to any subscription out of principle, so I deal with giftcards

Edit: just found out that I need to wait untill my current subscription ends... annoying....
