I got kind of lucky on the first go round - my first three images were obviously "New Deal" photography - FHA, WPA ..., so mid-30s was close enough for a high score.

I wonder how they score them? Looks like it's 1000 if you get it right on the year & 900+ if you get within one year, ... but I wonder how much they deduct per year. But it IS a rabbit hole!

... and another thing - when you get to the end of the game and receive the results it should have some kind of captions to tell you something about the photo besides how wrong you were about the year it was taken. Some of them are pretty obvious. I got one of the guy running with the Olympic Torch in front of a bunch of NAZI storm troopers - 1936 Berlin Olympics; and one of Mussolini on a reviewing stand with ol' Adolph stiffly lurking in the background ... so Rome 1934 BEFORE Hitler eclipsed Mussolini. I'm having more trouble with later images. The ones that look to me like they were taken in the 2000s were either taken a decade earlier or a decade later. And a lot of street scenes from the late 40s to the early 60s all look the same. After the mid-60s if it's got a gas station sign in it, I can get kind of close based on the prices.

JOhn Yes, itis annoying that they don't give you the actual correct answers in therms of what is going on...  maddening.. I wonder  if doing a screen shot of the photo itself , save the file, and then doing an image search on google would result in a captioned photo.. ann On 2/1/2023 4:56 PM, John Sessoms wrote: > ... and another thing - when you get to the end of the game and > receive the results it should have some kind of captions to tell you > something about the photo besides how wrong you were about the year it > was taken. > > Some of them are pretty obvious.
