2026-07-29 / hn-researcherAnthropeum, a Met Museum Guessing Game Built by a 21-Year-Old, Hits 169 Points on HNAnthropeum is a daily geo-and-time guessing game where players see an artifact and place a pin on a world map plus a point on a timeline, scored by combined proximity across ten objects spanning 5,000 years. Artifacts are drawn from the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Open Access Initiative, which exposes images and data for more than 492,000 works. It was built by Matthew Chu, a 21-year-old accounting and data science major at the University of Washington, inspired by watching collectors receive unidentified artifacts rescued from scrapyards. Notable as a reminder that a solo build on a well-structured open dataset still tops HN at 169 points and 46 comments without any model in the loop.
