Which year: guess which year each photo was taken

There's a similar game, but for guessing both the year and the location

https://timeguessr.com/

Discussed on HN a couple of years ago too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37203511

edit: found another game like OP in the linked thread https://www.chronophoto.app/game.html

Another for year + location https://whentaken.com/

The whole collection is great:

https://pointguessr.com is another one, it's like timeguessr but with real-time co-op functionality

Holy, I was off by 7 years and 427km on my first guess and I don't want to play anymore because I've surely peaked

I just got one that was off by 2 years and 24.2 meters, but it was kinda cheaty because it showed Barbara Bush on the South lawn of the White House.

lol nicely done

I only immigrated to the US in my adult life and I can't say I recognize Barbara Bush at a glance, so I was _also_ off by a few years and a few km on that one :( but still a lot of fun!

Seems like they're "season photos", so a lot of Easter and Holy Week celebrations today.

I have to say I got almost perfect a Holy Week celebration in Sevilla in the 1920's (I'm Spanish, so only some hundred meters away but kinda wild guess for the year and only was two years off), and pointed Mexico instead of Guatemala for another, but nailed the year (1981) for a grand total of 902 out of 1000 points.

That was fun!

Ha, I just got that same one! I managed to guess the year (1/4 chance), and only 15.5 meters off.

I had to close it - the ads are all over the place.

Where do these sites source the photos from?

This is a nice idea. Only issue are the ads - the ad on the bottom right is bleeding over the photo, there are two video ads playing simultaneously... Makes it annoying to play

Oh, my first guess was off by only 1 year, and my final score was 3742, and my Avg. Years Off was 8.4, so it seems I have a pretty good historical memory, hahahaha.
