Retrofoto (La Nación)

About Retrofoto (La Nación)

Retrofoto is part of LN Juegos, the games section of the Buenos Aires daily La Nación, and is played in Spanish. Each day brings a new edition built around a theme: one day cities, another bridges, Argentine actresses, military aviation or champions of Turismo Carretera.

In each edition you look at three photographs and pick the year you think each was taken on a timeline below the image. All the pictures come from La Nación's own historical archive and show events, people, places and everyday scenes from Argentina, so the game leans on knowledge of the country's history as much as on general clues like cars and clothing. The closer your guess, the more points you score.

Each edition is published as its own dated page, and the Retrofoto section lists past editions, so missed days can still be played. Alongside it LN Juegos publishes a crossword, sudoku, word search, cryptogram and other daily puzzles.

It suits Spanish speakers and anyone curious about Argentina, and players of Chronophoto or Which Year who want a short themed set.

How to play Retrofoto (La Nación)

1. Open the Retrofoto section on lanacion.com.ar and choose today's edition.
2. Look at the first photo and its theme for clues.
3. Move the timeline below the photo to the year you think it was taken and confirm.
4. See the real year and your points, then do the same for the other two photos.
5. Check your total, or go back to past editions from the Retrofoto page.

Tips

• Read the edition's theme first: it tells you what kind of scene to expect and which era is likely.
• Black and white or colour, the cars in the street and the shop signs narrow the decade.
• Knowing a little Argentine history helps: many photos show local events and people.
