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, where players from around the world compete to get the highest score. 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.
Slabakken
Read full descriptionHide full description
Slabakken is the game where the whole table ends up shouting at once. You may know it as the hat game. Everyone throws three words into the pot. Names of friends, a joke only your group gets, something that happened an hour ago. The app makes the teams, and then the exact same stack of words goes around three times. In the first round you explain with words. The clock is running and you think you have plenty of time. In the second round the same stack comes back, but now you act it out and say nothing. In the third round you get one word per card. Just one. And it works, because by now everyone knows the stack, and that single word is enough to make everyone shout at the same time. Play with one phone that goes around the table. Or play with everyone on their own phone. Someone starts a game, shares the code, and the rest join from their own screens. There is nothing to set up. No cards, no scraps of paper in a hat, no tally marks on a coaster. The app splits you into teams, keeps time and keeps score. Slabakken runs on iPhone and iPad, in English, Dutch and Spanish. You can sign in, but you never have to.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Slabakken at none against TimeGuessr's 2. Slabakken also leads on ads (none vs shown). TimeGuessr's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 months) and chart position (#95 vs unranked). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
