Submit a local score
This is a mock submission surface that mirrors the later API contract. No login. No email. No sensitive data.
How scoring works
The API contract stays narrow so the leaderboard can later move to Cloudflare D1 or KV without adding login. A valid submission must fit the five-question score range, include a YYYY-MM-DD date, and use a nickname that fits within the moderation limits. If the API is unavailable, the page falls back to local mock rows.
What the results mean
Guess the Year Game is designed for entertainment and memory training. A high score means your timeline sense was close for this set of clues. It does not claim historical expertise, and some pop culture moments have multiple release or peak-popularity dates. Each card explains the answer after you submit.
