Build a small, playable browser game inspired by "TimeCrime" (Puzzle, Hidden Object, History, Trivia, 360°, Time Travel).
Concept: TimeCrime is a fast historical anomaly-hunt game. A time traveler has planted one impossible object inside each 360° historical scene. Players must find the object that does not belong, then guess where and when they are to repair the timeline.
Tech: use Three.js; keep it to a single page that loads instantly with no login or install.
Controls: touch controls (tap/drag) that work on a phone plus keyboard and mouse on desktop, shown on a short how-to-play screen.
Players: single-player.
Core loop: include a visible score, an optional local high-score table, progress saved in localStorage.
Steps: 1) get the core mechanic playable with placeholder shapes, 2) add win/lose conditions and restart, 3) polish feel, visuals and sound, 4) add your own twist (setting, character or one new rule).
Make it your own: don't copy the original's name, art, text or code.

At a glance
What was TimeCrime made with?
TimeCrime was made with the Three.js engine, according to its listing. It was entered in Cursor Vibe Jam 2026, which requires at least 90% AI-written code. The AI tool or model is not stated in the source.
How do you control TimeCrime?
The game's own page mentions Space and mouse clicks. We detected this from the live page text; the creator hasn't confirmed a controls list.
Does TimeCrime work on phones?
Probably not well. We could not confirm touch controls, so a keyboard or mouse may be needed.
Is TimeCrime multiplayer?
No, its listing says it is single-player.
Where can I play TimeCrime?
Free in your web browser on timecrime.vercel.app, the creator's own site. Vibe1Up links to it and doesn't host the game.
Is the prompt for TimeCrime official?
No. The prompt on this page is a Starter recipe: our own reconstruction from the game's public listing and live page, not the creator's official prompt. If you made this game, you can share your real prompt at vibe1up.com/prompts/ and we'll show it with the Creator's prompt badge.
