What is TimeGuessr?
TimeGuessr is a history and geography guessing game. Each round shows you a real photograph from the past, and you have two jobs: drop a pin on the world map where you think it was taken, and pick the year.
You score points for how close you get on both the place and the date, so clues like cars, clothes, signs and architecture all matter. There is a daily challenge everyone plays, random games, and a multiplayer mode to play against others.
