Simple and fun game. I just wish the score was more forgiving the older the photo was. It’s a lot harder to tell 1905 and 1910 apart than 2015 and 2020, from the perspective of 2023.
- charles_f 4y agoInteresting, unless there was a major clue, I've had as much pain in both cases.
- moffkalast 4y agoI always got the most points when I just did a completely random guess haha. Taking the actively misleading part out of the equation.
- yieldcrv 4y agoI found 1973-1997 looking very similar in color film quality, and cars on the street. maybe if I was more familiar with models, maybe. it was only obvious it was 80s or 90s if something silly was going on. my top score is 2900 right now
- blauditore 4y agoChanges in consumer-grade photo quality between 70s/80s/90s are actually quite visible if you've looked at many of them. It's subtle, but e.g. newer ones have better range in brightness, i.e. less overly bright or dark areas in high-contrast images.
- ipaddr 4y agoFirst time 2200.. what a fun game. I'll use your 2900 as a goal
- thechao 4y agoI got a bunch of Edwardian—WW2 photos in one go, and netted 3190. I might be able to get higher than that, but only if the photos predate 2000. I think styles changed a lot from 1900—1970. After that, things are pretty hard to distinguish; retroactive clothing styles muddyvthe waters.
- yieldcrv 4y agogot 3632! and now my watch has ended
- washadjeffmad 4y agoOne of the photos was labeled with the year, and the game identified it differently. It's all in fun.
- intrasight 4y agoI was finding that I had a harder time with very recent photos. Fashion has become a bit static perhaps.
- pavon 4y agoActually I've been doing consistently worse in the years I lived through than the rest of the timeline. Apparently the older I get the more styles blur together. I tend to estimate ~5 years too early for the 1980-2000, and ~10 years too early for 2010 to present.
- thinking4real 4y agoDisagree, it’s just a matter of analyzing each decade precisely Thought often the pictures are not a great representation of the time they convey :/
