This is a great way to gather labeled training data for a neural network that can guess in which year a photo was taken.
A photo archive with actual correct date labels is even better (the thing which this game is built on.)

#53I wanted to play more but couldn't find any way. Refresh page, no new game link, tried entering URL again. Checked but no cookies to delete. That's one way to ensure I never visit the site again.
Hi, I made the game. Appreciate the feedback! Working on a mode that lets you play more right now.

#55One interesting observation is how much less variation there has been in clothes for the past 20 years or so. Someone from 2005 could look completely undisguisable from someone today, by just wearing regular non-fashion forward 2005 clothes. Same goes for haircuts. Same can't really said about someone from 1955 and 1975, 1980 - 2000, etc. edit: Score 4695 Avg. Years Off 3.0
Is that really true? It is true for me, but I always assumed that is just because I were younger last century. In 1990 I could easily tell if someone was looking like 1980, but today I could never guess if someone looked like 2015 or 2025. I would be happy to learn that this is because fashion actually slowed down, but until proven wrong I will just assume it is because I am older and not paying attention.

#56This is interesting concept, if there was more variety it could be some like timeguessr.

#57would be so fun if it has a multiplayer mode

#58Great idea! The trick is to zoom into peoples clothing, and then the associated event becomes quite obvious. Eg. Photo of Disco, no crazy lapels, obviously towards the end of disco, which puts you within a year or two. Might have gotten lucky but zooming in on clothing got me to 1.8 years off on average (top 2%).
I just went by feel of each and got 2.4 year average, also top 2%. I guess it doesn't do higher than top 2% then.
> obviously towards the end of disco
What is the end of disco?

#59This was fun! Sent it through to my "gamedle" group chat and it's probably going into my daily rotation. One thing though, the url in the share text doesn't start with https:// so it doesn't turn into a clickable link when posted in some chat clients.
Ah this is really helpful, thanks!
Also I think there’s a bug when you view “All-time Stats”. I’ve only played once and in my first game I scored 3971 but it shows lifetime points of 7942 (which exactly double 3971) and 2 games played.
Great game though, really good idea!

Pinch to zoom didn't work for me on Firefox for Android, and neither did double tapping.
