About Freeze Frame
How to play
- 1Five photos from sports history every day. Everyone gets the same five.
- 2Study each one — tap to zoom in and drag to look around — and call the year it was taken.
- 3You get 25 seconds per photo. When time runs out, whatever year you've picked is locked in.
- 4Dead on is worth 100 points (500 for a perfect day). Every year off costs you; 25+ years off scores nothing.
- 5Stuck? A hint gives you the sport, then the decade, for 40 points each.
- 6Read the clues: uniforms, equipment, haircuts, cars, ads, stadiums, film grain.
