Show HN: Time Pin – a history themed GeoGuessr-style game

https://playtimepin.com/

The goal is to guess the time and place that a character is from. You base your guess on some environmental photos, and on questions that you can ask the character(you have 12 questions but can only ask 5 so you have to choose carefully).

The closer you are the more points you get. At the end, a portrait picture of the character is revealed, as well as educational resources to learn more about their culture and era(articles, videos, podcasts etc).

Yes, not very optimised. Currently it loads all levels + images on start. I will improve in the future. Thank you for trying it!

Nice twist. I built something adjacent — Oppocity, you guess the antipode of a named city instead of the city itself: https://play.oppocity.app/

Damn, that's difficult. I wish I had a globe on my desk.

I love the UI though!
