Source transparency
AI disclosure for eraguessr.com.
EraGuessr uses generated and reimagined images as game clues. This page explains what those images are, what they are not, and how source labels should be read.
Menu
Generated gameplay images
Many player-facing round images are generated or reimagined educational scenes. They are visual clues for gameplay, not historical photographs or primary sources.
Inspiration images
When an original public-domain or open-license inspiration image is available, EraGuessr shows it after the round has been scored, along with stored attribution and license text.
Labels and source types
Scenes can be labeled as public-domain, open-license, AI-generated, or AI-reimagined from public-domain material. These labels describe how an image was sourced or created, but are not a scholarly guarantee.
Limits
Generated scenes can contain mistakes, missing context, or visual simplifications. Use the report flow when a scene is inaccurate, confusing, offensive, or poorly labeled.
How images are used
Generated and reimagined scenes are reviewed before they are used as gameplay clues. Source labels appear with the scene where relevant.
Inspiration images and attribution details are shown after a guess, so they do not reveal the answer before scoring.
What not to infer
Generated images should not be cited as evidence of what a historical place looked like.
EraGuessr does not claim that every generated visual detail is archaeologically or historically settled.
When a scene depends on a public archive image, the post-round reveal is the place to inspect the source and attribution text.
