very fun! Two small comments - if I know the precise year it is kinda hard to seek, especially at the ends of the scale. Maybe if you could hold the button to go faster? And the text overlay on the map at the end mostly prevents me scrolling it (and seeing where the correct place was)
This is a really good game! I thought I did pretty okay, but I was surprised to find that 91% of people did better than I. I'm guessing most people know when and where King Tut's remains were found, I managed to get 4k points on that one and was still in the bottom 10% of players. This would make for a fun party game in the style of Jackbox.

why don't you drag to get close enough and then use the buttons?
This looks like those youtube shorts I've been seeing. Did you guys create those?
Don't think so, which shorts are you talking about?
> The videos aren’t always historically accurate to the last detail Are they ever? > They might incorporate elements of folklore or have details from popular beliefs about the way things looked rather than the latest academic research on how they looked Like the one of the age of castles man loading an American civil war cannon by holding another cannon up to it: https://www.eggnog.ai/timeportal/37e02fea-bbb2-4b88-ae…
The inaccuracy was disappointing to me. If the point is historical trivia it's hard when the historical trivia isn't right. I have done some fencing and I noticed it especially for weapons and armor (though that might be just because that's what I know at least a tiny bit about). 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 en…
That said I too was a bit annoyed by how it rendered the byzantine empire. I thought Carthage was meant. So i was over by a thousand years.
The picture was clearly based on El Castillo [Temple of Kukulcán, in Chichén Itzá], which is on the Yucatan Peninsula. Note the chamber on top. It looks nothing like the Aztec Pyramid of Teotihuacan, which is flat on top and has no structure. In other words, this is AI slop that makes something that looks plausible, and is utterly misleading. As someone who has spent decades of my life on history, this makes me weep…
TIL the Nika riots took place in the Roman colosseum, and the blues and greens cheered as lone individuals from each deme were sent down for slaughter. Yeah, this is hot garbage in terms of accuracy. @Samplank2 - this may hurt to hear, but your assertions that better models and pipeline improvements will solve this are pure cope. What you really need to do here is manually curate and tune the prompts, then cherry-pic…
Very interesting ways to interact with AI videos
Videos had Japanese men, but the event was in China - Video generator must have just went with "generic asian warrior"
I was only off by 600 years.
I still enjoyed it, however.
Interesting concept, but the use of AI art is personally extremely off-putting. Maybe it works for people who like having everything filtered through a modern cinematic cgi filter. In this case, sure, it is a neat tool for seeing how a hollywood studio might have imagined events of the past to look like. At least you admit upfront here that they are "fantastical imaginations" of historical events, but maybe you shoul…
If people dont want to spend time deep-diving history but are still interested I think this is an absolutely awesome way to start/learn. I would just suggest adding more ways to learn about the event itself with links to source material/wikipedia etc.
I have no idea how to use your app. It just shows 4 pictures and asks me to choose one. No. I refuse to play a challenge that is not explained wtf am i doing.
