It wasn't really clear to me that you had to select the year as well as location. Because the year was already written in a red box, so I never tried to change it.

Did not work too well for me on mobile. One time it did not scroll but went back, one time controls were missing

Yeah I had issues with the mobile web version as well. Worked for 4 rounds but then the time selector stopped moving when I tried to select, and the map stopped loading detail when zooming in (and wouldn't let me place a pin). Started over and the same thing happened in the 3rd round.

Still a great little game though

Scrolling 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…

First game, the places I got was:

- Argentina - Belarus – I guessed Poland, because the picture dipicted Polish soliders right after WII - Poland - France - Finland

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

Creator here, sorry about that! Most days have more geographic diversity, and I'm working on improving it.
