It said Clinton Shaking Kennedy's hand was 1962... thought it was 63

Well it certainly wasn't 1964

I love how there are no instructions, and yet it's pretty obvious what the goal is and how to achieve it, good UX.

Reminds me of the Timeline (I think this is the name) card game where every player has a bunch of cards, each of which represents a historical event (e.g., moon landing, or sinking of Titanic, discovery of Radium, etc. Each player has to put down the card in the proper order, with respect to previous cards played. It gets harder as more cards are "on the timeline". Fun game.

Love it!

You can tell a crowd photo wasn't taken in the last 10 years because nobody's looking at their phones.

I feel proud and eager to share my 3150 score point. PS: No such sharable gold nugget was presented.

Lol I took a screenshot. Endorphin hit from getting 2 in a row exactly right was ridiculous

Love it! I got some terrible scores but then realized a good strategy is to judge a photo by its quality and aesthetics rather than the content.

Yeah, but it took a while for looking at your phone while walking to become normalised.

Yeah, it's called Timeline. At work we took Armenian colleagues to a pub which had it available. It was funny to play with the Polish localization, they understood more than we assumed (Armenians know Russian). But the replay value is dubious. The guy who won turned out to have this game at home. Kinda cheating ;)
