Time machine #2: Brussels - Memory Game

Match the pairs of past-and-present photos of the streets and squares of Brussels! Do you recognise the streets and squares in the Brussels of yesteryear? Match the recent photos with the historic images of the same locations: challenge your memory and your sharp eye with these 60 memory game cards with street photos of past and present.

This game is based on the book Time Machine - Brussel by Tanguy Ottomer. He dove into the archives and selected 50 photos of the Belgian capital. Turn the page, discover where the historic photo was shot ánd be amazed by how the exact same place looks today, as seen through the lens of photographer Tim Fisher. He brought the photos of the past along with him on his trips through the city to shoot the same 50 streets and squares again in their present day form. The result are 50 remarkable before and after photos. Sometimes the cityscapes in the old photos have remained nearly unchanged, sometimes they are practically irrecognisable. Then you'll have to start looking for buildings or other points of interest to give you a clue.

Just like the book, the Time Machine memory game is an ode by famous city guide Tanguy Ottomer to Brussels. Playing this game is bound to be a fun and nostalgic experience, and a true conversation starter between different generations. To sum it up, it's the perfect gift for anyone who loves Brussels, games and taking a trip down memory lane.
