The Wayback Game

The Wayback Game is a 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 10 screenshots per round 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).
