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.
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. Labels describe stored metadata, not a scholarly provenance 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.
Local storage
Generated assets and cached inspiration files are stored by the app as local or hosted asset records before they are shown in gameplay.
Browser localStorage is also used for no-account features like daily resume state and local daily streaks. This is device-local and can be cleared by the browser.
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.
