Five daily rounds of historical crime and unrest events. Study the photo, drop a pin on the map, set the year slider, and score points for accuracy.

Each round shows one event image. Tap the map to place your pin, drag the year slider, then confirm. After each guess you see how far off you were in distance and years, with a line connecting your pin to the real location.
The run ends after five rounds. Total score is the sum of location and year points across all rounds.
Each round awards up to 50 points for map distance and 50 points for year accuracy. Closer guesses earn more. Perfect pin and year would be 100 points per round.
Events are chosen from the UTC date seed. Progress can be saved locally in your browser.
