ChronophotoDaily Photo Game: Guess the Year a Picture Was Taken
Chronophoto shows a real photograph and asks one thing: what year was it taken? The Daily round has five photos, the same for everyone, and each guess earns up to 1,000 points depending on how close you get. It's free to play in your browser, with five photos a day and no account needed. There is also an unlimited mode, so you can keep playing after the daily puzzle.

How to play Chronophoto
- Look at the photo and find clues to its age.
- Slide the timeline (or type a year) to your guess and submit.
- See the real year and your points, then move on to the next photo.
- After five photos you get a score out of 5,000 to compare with friends.
Tips
- Color film, print grain and image sharpness are strong first hints for the decade.
- Hairstyles, glasses and car shapes change quickly and are easier to date than buildings.
- If you have no idea, aim for the middle of your best-guess range: a near miss still scores well.
