It took me 4 rounds to realise the time input was a slider, as you couldn't click to type. It needs some work.

#42Got one location that was 72 meters off. Not bad for a non-famous location.
Some of the others like raising the flag over Iwo Jima seem a bit odd though... it's more fun if you have to look at details of the photo to guess.

The same game (almost) with the same slider (almost) is not at all confusing: https://www.chronophoto.app/game.html
Getting the subtle elements of a UI wrong have a profound effect.

#4443274 on first try. Two other tries a little worse. It's quite easy when there are landmarks and people and cars; but not so easy when not.

Back of the photo.

#46Would be interesting to have a similar site where you'd have to guess if an image is horizontally mirrored!

#47The Year input control is inexplicably impossible to understand how to use. It makes the game unusable. It's an interesting concept but clearly the UI needs a ton of work

#48Surprisingly fun to analyze all the hints to guess the year - the photo quality, people's clothes/hair and other small details. Could actually be a fun party game.

I guessed a photo of mostly people to be set in Pittsburgh in the early 90s based on clothing and style. Turns out it was Alaska in 2015.
