About WhenTaken
WhenTaken is a daily geography game from Teuteuf Games in which players identify where and when a photograph was taken. Each round shows a photo and asks for two guesses: a pin placed on the map for the location, and a year chosen with a slider that runs from 1860 to 2026 or typed directly. A new game is available every day at 00:00 local time on the player's device.
