I'm getting a little addicted to this game. If you've ever played Geoguessr, this is more or less the same format, except you're guessing the date of pictures taken. If you like history, odds are you'll like this simple game.
It's pretty simple. In a game, 5 random pictures are presented, and you move the slider bar to the year you're guessing. The closer you are to the real date, the more points (max 1000).
A few tips:
- Obviously the more you know your history in general (1900-present in this case) the better you're going to do.
- At minimum, If you know some key dates in history ( e g. wars), and eras and such, it will help a great deal. Someone who has a vast knowledge of automobile history will also have a good advantage.
- Beware of colorized photographs. I’ve only encountered them a few times, but it can really throw you off if you're not careful.
- This is kind of an important one at times: Pay attention to what country the photo possibly came from. If it's not from the US or another advanced country, there could be a bit of photo quality "time lag", for lack of a better term. As you can imagine, some countries didn't have as good of camera gear right away.
