This reminds me of some TV show games here in Sweden. :) Got a perfect 1000 points on a pretty gruesome WW2 photo with jews around a train. Sort of a pyrrhic victory there... :| ~2200 on my first try, a lot obviously thanks to That Photo.

På spåret :)

Nice, I always thought I’m pretty good in guessing the production years of movies, photos, and music, so this game is a lot of fun for me.

My first try gave me a score of 4125. I’m curious if I can replicate that result or if I just got lucky!

Edit: Nope… second try: 2728

Edit: 3rd round: 3823

It’s incredible to see how quickly things changed ~1910-1930 in terms of infrastructure and technology. You’re going from horses and cobblestone to almost modern cars and pavement, within just 20 years or so.

Great game ! Thanks for sharing.

Small suggestion: it would be great to get some information about the picture (location, context, people) in addition to the year, after we tried to guess the date.

This is a fun little game. It is interesting to see what the tells are for the time periods. The reliable ones for me so far are military uniforms, cars, and computers. Hairstyles and clothes for some time periods are a give away, but some of those have thrown me off too.

Helped for me that I am in one of the photos (NHL game played at Lake Tahoe during the pandemic).

That is fantastic. Gotta wonder what the chance of that is.
