Hey @Crop - glad you're loving it. I'm loving it too - although @capcap has been setting a bruising pace. I try to keep up...
I'm not sure I want to always list every location as part of the game. Some places are obvious, and with others it might be more fun for people to do a bit of detective work to find out where it is.
Having said that, it currently is a bit impersonal with not much chat going on (we're too busy rushing out to find the latest tag), so some comments on the locations as we go along might be fun from time to time.
So in that spirit... @capcap enters 12 days ago and hits us with Queen's Park of course. I reply with the site of that market building opposite The Market Diner - home of the famous gutbuster. Was it called The Old Market, or is that in Hove?
Next up: the cricket ground. Given the distance to the ground's lights, the shadow of the sun in the photo and the knowledge that @capcap probably took the photo in the morning, puts us on a road that runs north-south near the ground. It's got to be Holland Road and it is. Two guys in my office helped me with that one.
Next: funnily enough, this at the very bottom of Holland Road.
Skipping forwards to the painted houses:- this is a fun little terrace. At the north end is Trafalgar St.
The two cars and Mr. Blue Face... you either know this or you don't. I knew at a glance because I've often walked up that way and noticed that little "inlet". Behind the photographer is St. Nicholas's Church off Dyke Road.
The old church gate to St. Saviour's can be found with a bit of detective work on the web. It wouldn't surprise me if it's also listed in Tim Carder's book on Brighton history.
Skipping forwards to the nice place from @laughing-boy that @WroSS liked: The Rockery, opposite Preston Park. @capcap got that one, but I knew it too.
Tennis courts took me a while - could be one of a number of places, except that the trees were all wrong. I confess I resorted to Google Maps to get the trees right.
My most recent one: walk up Southover St. on the left and keep your eyes peeled.

Excellent summary @sea-level! A slight addiction was responsible for the initial bruising pace haha. Great deduction skills on the cricket ground shot. The last one at Southover St. involved a good wonder around on Google Maps looking for the red brick building amongst all the coloured houses.
I fit a lot of them into my commutes by extending/changing routes around, taking a lot more notice of Brighton cycling around now which is a big plus. Looking forward to more tags and more chat

Yes, great to run into @capcap Wed evening - recognised by his bike of course - as he was off to get my tag, and I was off to bomb up and down the sea front and get completely soaked doing so - haha!
Ok, this new one is a challenge. Which is good. Most of the previous ones I've known at first glance.
Going to have enlist the help of my support team on this one...
