# HistoryGuessr — AKG Interactive

> HistoryGuessr is a free history guessing game for iPhone and web browsers.
> It shows you a photograph or painting from history and asks two questions:
> **where** was it taken, and **when**? You drop a pin on a map and pick a
> year; the closer both guesses are, the more points you score. Made by
> AKG Interactive, an independent one-person iOS studio.

HistoryGuessr is often described as "GeoGuessr, but for time as well as
place." The difference is the source material: instead of street-view
imagery, every round uses a real archival photograph or painting from
Wikimedia Commons, spanning roughly 1801 to 2019, and the year matters as
much as the location.

The game requires no account, no sign-up and no payment. There is no
advertising and no analytics tracking. Multiplayer runs peer-to-peer over
Apple Game Center or through self-contained challenge links, so there is no
game server storing anyone's data.
