Beautiful and so much fun!

I believe I read on Reddit that this app was designed by an SF local, and it truly shows. It’s a real work of love for the wildly interesting history of San Francisco, and so much fun to play! Thanks for putting this out (freely!) into the world—this is what appreciating history through community is all about.

An SF resident’s Must Have

This is one of the funnest trivia games I’ve ever played. Having lived in San Francisco for a decade, it was quite humbling to learn just how little I knew about this magical city. SFGuessr makes learning about SF so much more fun and I can’t recommend this game enough for anyone who lives in the City and wants to host a fun trivia night. 10/10
