Key differences
WhenTaken is about photographs of anything; Geosportle is about sports moments. You read a clue about a match or race, pin the venue and guess the year.
Geosportle’s year slider runs from 1870, and every answer is a specific stadium, circuit or course rather than the spot where a photo was taken.
Both have archives. Geosportle also has a daily leaderboard, streaks and private groups.
Which one suits you?
Geosportle: Sports fans who know their history: finals, Grand Prix and Majors from 1870 to today, with a free archive, free practice rounds and private groups for friends.
WhenTaken: Photo detectives who like a broad mix of places and eras.
Many players enjoy both: they are free to try and take a few minutes a day.
