Guess the year is a dating game: ten posters, ten sliders to place between 1950 and today. It measures something precise and fairly humbling — the gap between the era you think you watched a show in and the year it actually came out. Shows and films are mixed on purpose, because the landmarks differ: with a film you often remember the release context, with a show you confuse season one and the season you watched.
How to play
Ten rounds. For each poster, slide to the release year.
100 points for an exact hit, 10 fewer per year off: ten years off scores nothing.
Shows and movies mixed together, from 1950 to today.
Three ways to play better
Find the decade first, drop the slider in the middle of it, then adjust. Aiming broad costs less than a precise bet that misses.
For a long-running show, the year asked for is the very first episode's — not the season you remember.
Poster style dates a title almost as well as its content: thin typefaces and dark backgrounds for the 2010s, face montages for the 1990s.
Where the data comes from
Titles are drawn from current trending and best-rated lists, so the pool shifts week to week. The year used is the first air date for a show, the release date for a film.
