EraPin

EraPin is a daily where-and-when game built on historical events. Each round shows a photograph from Wikipedia. You drop a pin on a world map, by searching for a city or tapping the map, and then set the year on a scrolling timeline or type it in.

Location and year are each worth up to 2,500 points, so a round is worth 5,000 and a day of five rounds 25,000 before bonuses. Two clue cards sit under the photo, one for when and one for where, blurred until you tap them. Solving a round with no clue open earns 500 extra points. The first clue you open in a round is free, and later ones, such as a circle on the map or a ten-year bracket, take points off. After each round the real place and year are shown with a link to the Wikipedia article.

The dossier is the same for everyone on a given date, and the events span centuries. On 26 October 2026 the five ran from Rio de Janeiro in 2014 back to Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1620. Your streak is kept in the browser, and a player code restores it on another device. After the fifth round you can see the day's ranking and a country ranking, challenge a friend to the same set, or open the archive of the last two weeks.

The site also runs a classroom mode where teachers pick packs of events by period or course and students join with a room code. It is separate from the daily. EraPin suits players of WhenTaken and TimeGuessr who like to reason from written clues as well as from the picture.
