How to beat The Password Game Rule 14

The Password Game starts off simple enough—use a number, symbol, maybe a capital letter. But things get chaotic fast. By the time you reach Rule 14, the game throws an unexpected curveball: geography.

This stage drops you into a random location on Earth via a small embedded Google Street View image, asking you to identify the country it was taken in—and then add that country’s name to your password. If you guess incorrectly, your entire password becomes invalid. Brutal.

If you’re not a GeoGuessr champion, don’t panic. Here’s exactly how to beat Rule 14 in The Password Game, including the best tricks to identify countries from small visual clues.

🌍 What Is Rule 14?

When Rule 14 appears, a tiny Street View frame will load a random image somewhere in the world. Your task? Type the name of the correct country into your password. If the image is from Japan, for example, your password might need to include “Japan” along with everything else.

But unlike other rules, this one doesn’t give you any hints. You can’t click around or move the view—you only get one still frame. That means your ability to recognize environmental, linguistic, or architectural cues becomes essential.

🧭 Tips and Tricks to Find the Rule 14 Country

1. Look for Street Signs or Road Markings

Street signs can be huge clues, especially if you spot:

• Language (like Cyrillic for Russia or Greek characters)

• Road shapes or colors (yellow centerlines for the U.S., white lines in Europe, etc.)

• Font types and signage design styles

If there’s a clear sign with a place name, plug it into Google to see which country it belongs to.

2. Scan for Phone Numbers, URLs, or TLDs

Billboards, storefronts, or business signs might have:

• Phone numbers with country codes (e.g., +91 for India, +55 for Brazil)

• Website addresses like .co.uk, .fr, .de, .jp, or .br

• Regional brand names or domains

These tiny details are incredibly helpful if they appear in the frame.

3. Identify Landmarks or Unique Architecture

Sometimes, Rule 14 puts you near recognizable monuments, churches, or mountains. These might be vague, but look for:

• Temple rooftops (common in Southeast Asia)

• Stone buildings and village roads (common in Eastern Europe)

• Unique skylines (e.g., Burj Khalifa for UAE or Christ the Redeemer for Brazil)

A reverse image search using a screenshot could also help—but the challenge is doing it quickly before the game throws more chaos at you.

4. Zoom in on License Plates

Cars can often be spotted in Rule 14’s image. While you may not read the full license plate, you can still catch:

• Color schemes (blue strips for EU, yellow plates for the Netherlands)

• Plate position (front and back plates common in UK/EU; only back plates in the U.S.)

• Text formatting that’s unique to specific countries

This can help eliminate options and guide you toward the right answer.

5. Recognize the Language

Language is arguably the best giveaway. Look closely for:

• Accents and diacritics (like ñ or ç)

• Scripts (Arabic, Hangul, Devanagari, etc.)

• Specific words that might be native or localized

Even a single visible word like “École” (French for school) can quickly narrow your search to a French-speaking country.

6. Refresh the Rule if You’re Stuck

Yes, you can refresh Rule 14 by reloading the page—but it resets your entire password progress. That’s a steep price, so only do this if:

• You’re completely stumped

• The location gives zero clues (e.g., just trees and a dirt road)

• You were early in the password-building process

In most cases, it’s better to try your best to narrow down the region, take a few educated guesses, and only start over if absolutely necessary.

🎓 Pro Tip: Use GeoGuessr Techniques

If you’ve played GeoGuessr, you know the tricks:

• Tropical = Think Southeast Asia, South America, or Africa

• Flat fields with wind turbines = Likely Europe

• Mountains with stone homes = Often Switzerland, Austria, or Balkans

• Clean streets and white buildings = Scandinavia

When all else fails, rule out what it’s NOT, then guess from likely options.

🏁 Final Thoughts

Rule 14 in The Password Game is where the challenge shifts from digital chaos to geography quiz. While it can be a curveball for those unfamiliar with GeoGuessr-style puzzles, with a careful eye and the tips above, you can usually pinpoint the country from even the smallest clues.

Remember: Look for text, signs, cars, and cultural elements. And if all else fails, don’t be afraid to retry early on before the password becomes too complex to rebuild.

Good luck—and may your next guess be the right one!
