What is Chronophoto?
Chronophoto is a history guessing game. Each round shows a real photograph, and you slide or type the year you think it was taken, anywhere from 1900 to today. The closer you are, the more points you get: up to 1,000 per photo and 5,000 for a perfect game of five.
The Daily has five new photos every day, the same for everyone, and resets at midnight your time. Unlimited lets you play as many games as you like and narrow the photos to a range of years, and Party mode gives everyone who enters the same passcode the same five photos, so friends can compare scores.
