WhenTakenDaily Photo Game: Guess When and Where It Was Taken
WhenTaken gives you a set of real photos each day and asks you to work out both the place and the year each one was taken. You drop a pin on the map, set the year on a slider, and score for how close each guess comes. It's free to play in your browser, with five photos a day and no account needed. There is an unlimited mode and an archive of past puzzles, so you can keep playing after the daily one.

How to play WhenTaken
- Look at the photo for clues about the location and the era.
- Place your pin on the world map.
- Move the year slider or type a year, then confirm.
- See how far off you were in distance and years, then continue to the next photo.
Tips
- Which side of the road the cars drive on rules out half the world in one look.
- Film photos with faded colors usually mean the 1960s to 1990s; crisp digital shots point to the 2000s or later.
- Use the archive to practice on past days before going for a high score on today's set.
