Guess the year
100 points spot on, −10 per year off. 10 rounds.
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.
