Introducing Historic Heights, a weekly game of old Brooklyn Heights photos

We've launched a new game on the Dispatch: Historic Heights.

Each edition gives you five historic photographs of Brooklyn Heights. For each one, look closely at the buildings, the street and the details, then drop a pin on the map where you think the photo was taken.

How it works

• Five rounds, one map. Tap or click the map to place your guess, then lock it in.
• Up to 1,000 points per round. The closer your pin, the higher your score, for a top score of 5,000.
• See how close you were. After each guess you'll see your pin and the real spot side by side, the distance between them, and a Street View of the place today.
• Learn a little history. Every round reveals the address, the year of the photo and a short, sourced history of the building.
• Share your score. When you finish, share your result with friends without giving away any answers.

The photos come from the New York Public Library's collections, credited and linked to the originals.
