It took me 4 rounds to realise the time input was a slider, as you couldn't click to type. It needs some work.
Oh my God, thank you! That was infuriating. This twist on Geoguessr is an awesome concept, but that UX detail really needs a re-think.

#22Pretty fun! I played a few rounds. I'd probably bust this out at a hang out if we we were looking for something to do. I got used to the UI quirks, but thanks to other commenters I had a leg up in figuring it out. I used it on desktop btw.

#23This is fun.
My main complaint is the map isn't scaled correctly on mobile. I'm not sure I've ever seen that problem on any webpage since it's usually handled by the map library.

#24This reminds me to get back to a project... I've been trying to train models to tell what decade a photograph was taken, but haven't had much luck. Maybe someone else has tried that too!

#25GeoGuessr is for space, makes sense to make one for time!
This one is for spacetime!

#26This isn't new so a bit surprising they haven't gotten the feedback about the unclear year slider UX, but fun once you figure that out

#27Pretty fun twist on Geoguessr! The slider needs a bit of work and some intuitiveness on mobile but top notch otherwise. Managed to get a best score of 41,206/50,000 without looking anything up.

#28Really fun little game, I averaged mid 30,000s. That year slider though...

#29On an unrelated note, I guess most of these photos were taken in Kodak cameras which went bankrupt and barely hanging on now. Pretty dark when you think about it.

Kodak very stubbornly denied the masd transition to digital photography.
There is still a market for horse-drawn carts, for mechanical typewriters, for 36mm film, etc, but these niches are narrow, you can't be an industry giant if you concentrate on them.
