Vestige: What year?

Guess the year from images

Vestige: What year? Travel through time, one clue at a time.
Vestige is a simple idea: you start with a zoomed-in photo, something you can barely recognize: a piece of fabric, a street sign, a corner of a billboard. You can move around the image, zoom in and out, and slowly reveal the full scene.
As you explore, you look for clues:
What era does this feel like?
What objects stand out?
What story is this photo trying to tell?
When you think you’ve figured it out, you choose a year. The closer you are to the real date, the more points you score. You have one minute to make a guess.
After that, the game shows you the full picture and explains what was happening — the context, the event, the hidden details you might have missed. It’s meant to be both fun and educational, a way to learn history through small visual discoveries rather than long texts.
What makes Vestige enjoyable?
You get real photos, sometimes famous, sometimes completely unexpected.
You can explore the picture freely, like you’re inspecting a memory.
It’s quick to play - each game has three pictures.
Over time, you start getting better at spotting tiny clues.
You actually learn something from the image you just studied.
