Great game, thanks for sharing.

652, no hints. Could have done better smile.

There's a similar game which has a Google maps street view and you have a minute to guess the location. Also very good!

Are you guys searching for what you see or just going off your gut feel? A couple I didn't need help with and got lucky but I did use a search to help on a few and much higher score than usual. 893 vs 707 yesterday.

2.8K km - 1 yrs - 141/200

Cars are terribly helpful, adjusted for the W123/Pug 504 indestructibility factor in certain areas of the world.

No googlefu for me. Just going off the photo and zoom in and look around.
I am normally within 10 years on the year, but often "slightly out" on the location!!

729/1000. Generally better on date than location. A couple that were spot on location wise, but a couple that were way off

No googling!

870/1000 my latest.

Helped to get 2 spot on for year as there were posters in the background, and one of them had a poster saying which island we were looking at.

Looking at crowds to see if people are looking at mobile phones helps get the year.

One pic I could actually see what model iPhone a chap was looking at.

Fashions help but then a surprise when the year is well out due to that particular country still wearing clothes from decades ago biggrin

Good Game smile
