The Wayback Game

The Wayback Game is a browser-based guessing game where you're shown a screenshot of a website from the past, which has been captured on the Wayback Machine. Your task is to guess the year the screenshot was taken.

Inspired by TimeGuessr, the game features 6 rounds per session scoring you based on how close your guesses are to the correct years. The score system is reversed so a lower score is a better score (kinda like golf).

Right not the game is a proof of concept/prototype.
