Scrolling with the mouse on the image (no Ctrl or anything, just scroll) zooms into the section of the image you're on, for anyone else trying "Open image in new tab" or other ways to zoom in.
I'm a big GeoGuessr fan, and had heard of TimeGuessr occasionally in those circles. I'd assumed it would be mostly pictures from the USA and so wasn't massively interested, and from trying it out now, I wasn't too far off: most of the images were from the US and Western Europe, and every single picture so far has been from a rich country. There are obvious reasons for that, and it's not a bad thing in some absolute terms, but it makes it kinda boring for me - the big appeal of GeoGuessr for me is that you routinely get dropped off in a country that you don't often think of, and momentarily get to see and imagine life through their eyes.
Maybe over time, TimeGuessr will also accumulate images from more varied places - or maybe one of the alternatives mentioned in this thread (whentaken and whichyr) already do better in that regard?
Its not true!
I have been playing TimeGuessr for 11 months, I do it before bed.
I have been all over, I personally really struggle between Vietnam and Thailand and got even that wrong with Cambodia. I am simply ignorant but it's not just rich countries.
