@darkphoenix@not.an.evilcyberhacker.net …and it did!
Which basically narrowed the possible stations down to 7, of which 5 were outside of their time budget.
So, we had to differentiate between Anklam and Altentreptow. We had plenty of time, and so chose to ask for a photo of the biggest body of water in the hiding zone, thinking that we might be able to differentiate between the estuary in Anklam, and the smaller river in Altentreptow.
20 minutes later, the picture we received was inconclusive. So we decided to go for a backup option: asking whether they were closer or further away from the coast than us. Their response that it was closer allowed us to narrow it down...
They were in Anklam.

@darkphoenix@not.an.evilcyberhacker.net I think this is the furthest we've been from a hiding zone whilst having a definitive confirmation of where it is. Normally, we ask for a clue that allow us to confirm the station as we pull in, such as the Tallest Building from the Visible from the Stop. It also allowed us to look at a number of different ways of narrowing down the location within the hiding zone as we spent the next hour or so heading North on the same regional train we’d boarded at Berlin-Gesundbrunnen. Our hunch was right.
