MapCrunch is a website that leads you to a random place on Google Street view, anywhere in the world.
The existence of this site lead to the invention of the online MapCrunch Game (also known as "airport game" or "MapCrunch Airport Quest"). To participate in the game, you just go to the site (mapcrunch.com), click "hide location" and press "go", then you start looking for the nearest airport (with as less help as possible), so you can go back home.
The game was invented by the community of Tumblr and caused the website serious server troubles on Feb 19th 2012 because the site hits went up by almost 1500% within 24 hrs.
