What is TimeGuessr?
TimeGuessr is a game of history and geography detective work. Each round shows you a real photograph from the past, from street scenes and famous events to everyday moments, and you have to guess two things: where in the world it was taken, by dropping a pin on a map, and what year it was taken. The closer you get on both, the more points you score. Clothing, cars, signs, buildings and even the colour and quality of the photo all become clues, so you quickly learn to look at pictures differently. The daily challenge gives everyone the same set of photos, which makes it fun to compare scores with friends, and there are also random games and a multiplayer mode for when one round isn't enough. TimeGuessr suits history buffs, people who loved GeoGuessr and anyone who enjoys looking closely at old photographs.
How to play
- Study the historic photo for clues.
- Drop a pin where you think it was taken and pick a year.
- Score points for getting close on both place and time.
