Project briefing
Guess history by place and time.
EraGuessr is a browser game about reading visual context: architecture, landscape, clothing, infrastructure, and historical clues. Each round asks you to place a scene on a map and a timeline.
Map first
Every scene is tied to a real location or a defensible historical approximation. Your map guess drives half of the round score.
Timeline matters
The playable range runs from 3500 BC through 2026 AD, with deeper-past scoring tuned to be less punishing.
Scene catalog
The current catalog is stored in the codebase so deploys can rebuild the same game data without relying on a private local database.
Clear asset labels
AI-generated and AI-reimagined images are not presented as real historical photographs. Inspiration assets are shown after scoring.
What is built now
The MVP supports quickplay, map guessing, timeline guessing, round reveals, final results, leaderboards, admin scene management, local generated image storage, and a feedback inbox for admin review.
