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.

Most of the way there, I think. My only negative is that when I try to play the 'daily' game, the very first pic continuously shows as loading which means I can't zoom in. Once that is tightened up then I'd have no hesitation in going 5 stars as I'm very much enjoying the app form of this game, and it's a good way to pass the time as well as learn a little something. A suggestion would be to enable the game screen to rotate so it can be played in landscape mode. Keep up the awesome work! cheers

Great game, shame that the results share functionality from the web version doesn't appear in the app. Will probably keep using the web version until that is implemented. Edit: thanks for adding the share button! It doesn't appear to have the line at the top with the puzzle number and score, could that also be included? Edit 2: the "place a pin on the map" button allows you to press it without having placed a pin, so you can end up with 0 score for location.
