Since Wordle became a viral phenomenon at the end of 2021, more and more online games have emerged where players try to guess things in an attempt to replicate the success of the famous title created by Josh Wardle and later acquired by The New York Times. But in addition to Wordle clones, such as Worldle or Quordle, other types of games have appeared over the months that can help you pass the time.
One of the latest games to explode in popularity is Chronophoto, a somewhat different version of the legendary GeoGuessr, which challenges you to discover the exact year a photograph was taken.
Chronophoto is a simple game: as soon as you enter the game’s website, you’ll see a historical photograph, and just below it a slider ranging from the year 1900 to the year 2020, as well as a button to check the answer. Your goal in the game will be to guess the exact year the image was taken.
You can use clues that may appear in the image, such as car models and the years they were sold, types of clothing, or other elements that, although they may seem unimportant at first glance, can be key in choosing the correct time period in which the photograph was taken.
Each game consists of five rounds. In each of them, you’ll have to get as close as possible to the exact year the photograph was taken to get the highest possible score. In the end, you can see how many points you’ve obtained throughout the five rounds.
The game is completely free and can be played from any device with access to a browser.
