WhenTaken

How to play

1. 01

   Study the photo

   Look at the photo and work out where and when it was taken.

2. 02

   Place your pin

   Drop a pin on the map where you think it was taken.

3. 03

   Pick the year

   Move the slider to the year, or simply type it in, then press Guess.

4. 04

   Five rounds

   Each round is worth up to 200 points: 100 for the location and 100 for the year, so 1,000 in all.

Good to know

• Hints. Up to two a round, one for the place and one for the year. They don't cost points, but your share shows a 💡 for each, and after the first one you watch an ad.
• Year scoring. Within five years you lose a point per year off, and each year costs more the further away you are.
• The WhenTaken Bot. After each photo, an AI bot gives its own guess, explains the clues and writes a short history of the image.
• Archive and Community. Past games go back to February 2024, and players make their own games in Community.
