How to play WhereWhen Sacramento

For each photo, place a pin on a map where you think it was taken, then make a guess for the year. Once you've finished all five, you can challenge a friend to play the same set and compare your pins photo by photo.

Tips & strategy

  • Look for landmarks, building styles, or street details that may still exist today.
  • Use clues like car models, clothing, signs, and advertisements to narrow down the decade.
  • Think about Sacramento's grid layout and known neighborhoods when placing your pin.
  • If you can identify the location, the year often becomes easier to estimate from visible details.
  • Play with a friend and compare reasoning—different observations can help you improve.
