Irretrievably hung my phone requiring a hard reset. Using Chrome on vanilla Android on Samsung.
Seems like an issue with the OS? Surely a web page in a userland app like Chrome shouldn't be able to do that..

#42This is really cool.
However, my first photo said "Times Square, NY" in the corner, with a copyright for 1908 which gave it all away.
Re: TimeGuessr
#43Fun! I was surprised how often I was 1 year off and in the right city for things that I was just guessing about.
On small error I found: there's a photo that's outside Piazza Navona in Rome in the 30s, which it lists as being 700 meters away at Piazza Venezia. I know I'm correct -- I lived a street away from there.

#44Scrolling with the mouse on the image (no Ctrl or anything, just scroll) zooms into the section of the image you're on, for anyone else trying "Open image in new tab" or other ways to zoom in. I'm a big GeoGuessr fan, and had heard of TimeGuessr occasionally in those circles. I'd assumed it would be mostly pictures from the USA and so wasn't massively interested, and from trying it out now, I wasn't too far off: most…
I don't know, my pictures definitely biased towards "cameras are accessible in these places" but I had modern Nepal and Bangladesh, as well as 1930's Finland.

#45I absolutely love 3 dimensional nature of the game and how carefully many images are chosen to allow for a precise spacetime localization with a bit of a research. Super enjoyable experience in startling contrast with geogessr, which I don't even want to open.
Thanks a ton!

Maybe it moved 700m since the 30s? =)
Re: TimeGuessr
#47Why do I have to pick both a location AND year? Why not focus this game on the year only?
You’ll probably enjoy this game then https://whichyr.com/
All the pictures I got were from the US. That makes me happy with my 3955 (Top 31%) score, though I'd have appreciated more geographical variety.

once again nobody cares about laptop users :/
Re: TimeGuessr
#49I find the UX of Whichyr much better, but it doesn’t have the geographical component. But you see your final ranking on a gaussian curve and it’s fun! https://whichyr.com/ And here are other games in that style of 5-minutes cultural guesses: https://framed.wtf/ https://gaps.wtf/ https://sutom.nocle.fr/ https://globle.org/ ? https://worldlegame.io/ ? https://flagle.gg/ https://phrazle.gg/ https://numberle.org/ Not wor…
I'm at 200 tries for the "Guess a wikipedia page" thing, completely exhausted, and not getting anywhere. Very frustrating, yet I can't bring myself to abandon it...

Its not true!
I have been playing TimeGuessr for 11 months, I do it before bed.
I have been all over, I personally really struggle between Vietnam and Thailand and got even that wrong with Cambodia. I am simply ignorant but it's not just rich countries.
