Globepoch #2

How to play

Every day Globepoch shows one old map, scanned in high resolution from public-domain collections.

1. Explore. Drag to move around, and scroll or pinch to zoom in on the lettering, the borders, the place names, and the places that aren't on it yet.
2. Guess the year the map was made. You get three guesses; after each miss you're told whether to go earlier or later, and whether you're within 100 years.
3. Score up to 100 points for your closest guess: you lose one point for every full 10 years it's off, so anything within 9 years scores a perfect 100 (and ends the round) and 1,000 years off scores 0.

Printed dates have been blacked out. Keep a streak going by scoring on consecutive days, then share your result with friends.

A new map arrives every day just after midnight UTC. Every earlier map stays playable from the calendar button at the top; those plays count toward your stats but not your streak.
