@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.

And so when we reached Anklam, we had a pretty easy way to split the town. With two questions, within a 50 metre walk, we were able to narrow down the area to, as @quixoticgeek@social.v.st put it, "one of four of roughly equal density and annoyingness” As we left the station, we were hit with the Blessings of the Left Turn, as a way to attempt to encumber our search. This basically stopped us from turning right at any intersection. That being said, the area we’d narrowed her down to was exactly in the direction we were already going, and we didn't need to turn at all. As we were walking round, crossing straight over the street junctions, we came across an Aldi Nord. Given that we'd rushed onto the train 2 hours ago, without an opportunity to stop, we decided to take a break and pick up some drinks and a snack, and wait out the 20 minutes for her to respond to our request for a photo of the tallest structure in her sightline.
