What kind of clues are in the game?
We use a mix of images, quotes, headlines, and other references from history, pop culture, music, politics, tech, and more — mostly from the 20th and 21st centuries.
Are the clues always in English?
Yes, for now. We may explore multilingual versions in the future.

Absolutely — we love feedback. Drop us a message via email at social[@]bygamp.com.
🎉 Fun questions we keep getting (and love answering)
Why am I always 5 years off?
Because time is a flat circle, and 2009 feels like it just happened. You’re not alone. Everyone is either 5 years too early or 3 years too late. It’s Bygamp law.
Is this secretly a memory test?
Yes. And you’re doing great. But also no — it’s just for fun. Unless you’re trying to beat your cousin for bragging rights. Then it’s serious.
Are the clues getting harder, or am I just getting older?
A little bit of both. Welcome to temporal disorientation. It’s part of the charm.
Can I get a hint?
Sure: if the photo has frosted tips and flip phones, it’s probably early 2000s.
Is there a way to cheat?
Yes — it’s called learning stuff and building a freakishly good sense of historical context. We approve.
