The most mind-bending “where the hell am I?” exercise in Grandomastery: Google Maps drops you at a truly bizarre, randomly chosen real-world coordinate (an abandoned Soviet submarine base in Ukraine, a lonely vending machine in the middle of Hokkaido countryside, a neon-lit rooftop in Jakarta, a salt flat in Bolivia with a single tree). You have 8–12 minutes to deliver a completely convincing, deadpan spoken monologue (or written field report) that:
explains exactly why you, personally, are standing there right now,
makes the absurd location feel like the most logical place on Earth for you to be,
weaves in vivid sensory details and emotional authenticity,
and calmly addresses an imaginary skeptical audience demanding answers.
The result is a 2–4-minute performance that feels like Werner Herzog narrating a personal existential travel vlog.
Target Audience
C1–C2–C2+ (“C3”) learners & native speakers
Travel writers, location scouts, existential philosophers, C2 Proficiency Speaking candidates
Mode & Duration
Solo spoken “live report from nowhere” + optional written dispatch – 10–15 minutes per drop
Key Skills Developed (True C2+ Level)
Masterful location-based storytelling & narrative transportation – turning pure coordinates into deeply personal mythology
Advanced/proficient existential English – seamless use of speculative, counterfactual, and phenomenological registers
Randonautica-style ontological improvisation – inventing airtight personal causality for random quantum-like jumps
Sensory immersion & atmospheric precision – describing unseen places with cinematic, multi-sensory realism
Deadpan persuasive surrealism – maintaining total conviction while narrating the impossible
Audience-inclusive justification rhetoric – anticipating disbelief and neutralising it with charm and logic
Spontaneous world-building under geographical pressure – creating instant meaning from pure randomness
Core Theoretical Principles This Activity Is Built On
Randonautica Mind-Matter Interaction – intentional randomness as a mirror for projecting personal meaning onto the world
Defamiliarisation + Cognitive Estrangement – placing yourself in extreme unfamiliarity to see reality anew
Narrative Identity via Place – we become who we are by the stories we tell about where we (suddenly) find ourselves
Used daily by top travel-literature authors, location-based storytellers, and C2 examiners as the fastest route to near-native spontaneous narrative power and unbreakable creative confidence.
