What is WhichYear?

WhichYear is a daily photo guessing game where you are shown a photo from an unspecified year and need to guess the year as closely as possible. It is very similar to TimeGuessr.

Thoughts on gameplay

WhichYear shares some similarity to Geoguessr because, to guess accurately, players must consider a bunch of photographic features.

For WhichYear, this usually means things like photo quality, style of dress, items in the photo, and similar.

What makes it fun

WhichYear turns ordinary photographs into puzzles about cultural and temporal inference.

The game has a satisfying, simple interface and is quick to play, which makes it a great casual game. It plays very well in a group, where players can point out different things they're seeing and debate their interpretations.
