Great idea, the scroll bar for the year is a bit difficult to use in PC.
Thanks, and appreciate the feedback!
To offer a non-AI alternative but a similar game concept, I highly recommend TimeGuesser: https://timeguessr.com/ . You are shown historical photos (from the past 100 years, even up to the past year) and need to guess the location on a map and the year of the image. Extremely fun and varied gameplay because of the varied events the photos capture (some mundane while others more recognizable).
Cool idea but the AI images are kind of lame. For anyone who wants something like this I recommend NYT's Flashback quiz: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/03/07/upshot/flashb...
Very polished UI/UX. I'd say this is far closer in similarity to TimeGuessr than GeoGuessr. The only difference is that in TimeGuessr you are guessing a year and a location based on a single real image whereas Time Portal is making heavy use of GenAI for image/videos. Anything I'm missing? https://timeguessr.com OP: You might also want to change the title in your HTML header for the game - it just says Eggnog which i…
Project "Eggnog" FTW!

Overall it's a fun idea though. I was able to consistently get pretty close in time and location so even with the anachronisms there was enough there.
creative use of Generative AI. There will be more games powered by AI.
20% of you nerds did better than me and I consider myself a history buff. I am humbled.
I was off by little both in time as in space. But when I was about to drag the map it triggered the go back on my Android phone (gestures). Maybe prevent default to avoid that?
Not much to say other than this is fun and awesome! Haven’t taken a detailed look at all, but in surface level, very enjoyable!
