Products that do what Time Portal – Get dropped into history, guess where you landed does

Hi HN! I love imagining the past, so I made Time Portal, a game where you are dropped into a historical event and see AI video footage from that moment. You have to guess where you are in time and on the map. It’s like GeoGuessr (and heavily inspired by it!) but for historical events. The videos are all created with AI. It’s a pipeline of Flux (images), Kling (video), and mmaudio (audio). The videos aren’t always historically accurate to the last detail. They might incorporate elements of folklore or have details from popular beliefs about the way things looked rather than the latest…

    Hi! Any history nerds here? I made Time Pin, a little game inspired by Geo Guessr but history-themed. You can play it here(it works on both desktop and mobile). Any feedback is appreciated: https://www.crazygames.com/game/time-pin Now some details: The goal is to guess the time and place that a character is from. You base your guess on some environmental photos, and on questions that you can ask the character(you have 12 questions but can only ask 5 so you have to choose carefully). The closer you are the more points you get. At the end, a portrait picture of the…

    Hey folks, I built Hisorty, a small daily game where you sort historical events in chronological order (strongly inspired by Wordle mechanics). Each day you get 6 events and 3 attempts to place them correctly. I found it surprisingly tricky to design those puzzles so the difficulty is just about right. Would love feedback on: - difficulty balance - UI/UX - whether the concept feels engaging long-term Happy to answer any questions about how I built it.

    I posted once before but wanted to share again because a lot has changed. There's now a fairly strong bot to play against (contributed by a community member) and also correspondence games. The combination of these things helps a bit in finding people to play against.

    Hi y'all, Made this game as a side-project a while back, figure some of you might enjoy it. Idea came while playing GeoGuessr (as you might have guessed). Artifacts are from the MET API, which is fantastic and well worth exploring for personal projects if you're into that sort of thing. I'm also working on adding 3D artifacts as in here: https://artifactguesser.com/artifacts/66880eb60da993fab0ffff... (warning, that page isn't super mobile friendly, but you'll get the idea). Shameless plug, if you think what I built is neat, I am a fullstack dev looking work, you can…

    Resubmitting text to 3d simulation on a map because during the last submission, I quickly reached my quota on Google's photorealistic 3d map tiles, leaving many confused. You can simulate anything on a map in 3d, and it recreates historical events pretty well. It also now includes a timeline of events for each simulation. The goal is to create a simulator that can meaningfully predict the past -- and future events. Now I have an increased daily quota and in case it's reached, a system for providing your own api key. Glad for feedback. I built the frontend with threejs, the atmospheric fx…
