TimeGuessr

About this game

TimeGuessr is the game that challenges both your geography and history knowledge in one addictive experience. Using real historical photographs from around the world, your task is simple: guess when and where each photo was taken.

Think you know your 1960s from your 1980s? Can you tell Paris from Prague just by a grainy street scene? Whether you're a casual player or a history buff, TimeGuessr will put your deduction skills to the test.

Each photo is carefully selected, showcasing moments that span continents and centuries. Place a pin on the map to guess the location, choose the year, and see how close you were. The closer your guess, the more points you earn.

New photos are added daily through the popular daily game mode. You can also challenge your friends, compare your progress on the leaderboard, and even create your own shareable rounds.

TimeGuessr is more than just a guessing game — it's a journey through time and place, blending curiosity, memory, and discovery in a way that keeps you coming back for more.

Ratings and reviews

The photo/map switch button needs to be made stationary or at least require press and hold to start moving it. Switching between is *incredibly* annoying and feels like a mini-game in itself (one that doesn't award any pts...!) because you have to tap it, without moving it, when it moves *as soon as* you touch it... Other than that, it's a good app. Too bad.

Sometimes you find a clue in under a minute and it gives you a pretty confident guess as to the year or location. Sometimes if you zoom in in a watch it says April 29 and you know it's a leap year and then cross-reference it with leap years with high pollen counts, and then you can decode a binary pattern into a map to gold and then you have to remember how the gold has to do with TimeGuessr and why you're even playing it.

Great start for mobile. Been playing Timeguessr with friends for months and was super excited to have it on mobile but swapping between map and picture mode is borderline impossible and makes it incredibly frustrating to play right now. As soon as that's fixed, it's a 5 star product no doubt.
