The useful part
Although they're made by different developers, it takes that same basic idea and adds a twist. From there, you drop a pin on a world map and pick the year you think the picture was taken. The closer you get on both guesses, the more points you earn, with up to 5,000 points available for each.
How it works
- Clothes, hairstyles, buildings, landmarks, and even the graininess of the photo can all help you nail the point in history.
- I like TimeGuessr because it tests a slightly different knowledge set than GeoGuessr.
- Knowing your geography is impressive, but being able to hit the mark based on your knowledge of history, pop culture, and your general sense of what different decades looked like feels even more rewarding.
- TimeGuessr has different modes such as daily challenge, random games, or community-made games.
- There's also an option to create your own five-photo game and share it with friends.
Details worth keeping
