I can't get it to work at all. I guess it doesn't allow mobile.

Well...It does, but it is extremely unintuitive and downright painful to use on mobile.

You need to click on the slider for the year and it will jump around the years; pick something semi close to what you want -or- waste a lot of time getting it exact.

Then click on the map, it will put a pin somewhere (not where you clicked, but somewhere sorta close - within a few thousand miles), but the second click should be exactly where you click (you can safely scroll after that first click).

Then click some white space. Then scroll down, below the previous bottom (where the year selector bar was) and you'll find a submission button you need to click.

After it tells you that you were off by a few years (that you would have gotten had the inputs been more mobile-friendly) and that your distance was closer (but still pretty far off because the resolution on the map is really hard to manage on the mobile text-related zoom-levels), you can click to button (at the bottom) to go to the nest round.

Do this enough and the game ends with a fairly readable score screen.

Or in other words, yeah...broken on mobile.
