One frame from history. Where was it taken, and when? HistoryGuessr shows you a real photograph from the archive. You drop a pin on the world map, then choose the year. The closer you get, the more you score. HOW IT PLAYS • Five rounds per game; 10,000 points a round: 5,000 for place, 5,000 for year • Land within 25 km and the location score is yours in full • Good rounds back to back start a streak, pushing the multiplier up to 2× • Stuck? Spend a hint token: reveal the continent, or narrow the year to a 50-year range FRAME OF THE DAY One frame a day, the same one for everyone. Grow your streak — and if you miss a day, your streak freeze covers it. 1V1 DUEL Forty-five second rounds. First to 30,000 points wins. Guess early and bank the speed bonus. When the round closes, both guesses open up side by side on the map. THE ARCHIVE A hundred verified historical photographs: wars, expeditions, architecture, disasters, ordinary life.
