HistoryGuessr
Where was it taken? And when?
HistoryGuessr shows you a real photograph or painting from history and asks two questions: where was it taken, and when? Drop a pin on the map, pick a year, and the closer both guesses are, the more points you score.
Every round uses an archival image from Wikimedia Commons, from the 1800s to today. It is like a geography game with a time machine attached.
