Show HN: Time Pin – a Geo Guessr style game but history themed

https://www.crazygames.com/game/time-pin
7•AndreiCx•1h ago
Hi! Any history nerds here? I made Time Pin, a little game inspired by Geo Guessr but history-themed. You can play it here(it works on both desktop and mobile). Any feedback is appreciated: https://www.crazygames.com/game/time-pin

Now some details: The goal is to guess the time and place that a character is from. You base your guess on some environmental photos, and on questions that you can ask the character(you have 12 questions but can only ask 5 so you have to choose carefully).

The closer you are the more points you get. At the end, a portrait picture of the character is revealed, as well as educational resources to learn more about their culture and era(articles, videos, podcasts etc).

The game only has 5 levels currently, but I hope to have over 100 someday. It’s tough to create levels because it requires some research, plus generating photos with AI(AI is necessary otherwise we’d only have photos starting from the 19th century when the camera was invented).

My goal for the game was to create a challenge, and also maybe spark some curiosity for history.
