How to play
- You start with one event and its year. That's the first card on your timeline.
- A new event appears, without its year. Tap the gap where it belongs — before, after, or between the events on your timeline — then tap again to lock it in.
- Get it right and the year is revealed. The event joins your timeline, so every round there are more gaps to choose from.
- You have 45 seconds per event. One wrong placement or running out of time ends your run.
Place all 20 events for a perfect streak.
FAQ
- When is there a new puzzle?
- Every day at midnight UTC. Everyone in the world plays the same puzzle that day.
- Can I play more than once a day?
- Your first attempt at the daily puzzle is the one that counts. You can replay past puzzles as often as you like in practice mode; practice games don't count toward the leaderboard.
- How is the leaderboard ranked?
- By streak length. If two players have the same streak, the one who placed their events faster ranks higher.
- What happens when the timer runs out?
- Your run ends. If you had already selected a gap but hadn't locked it in, that choice is submitted for you.
- Can two events be from the same year?
- No — every event in a puzzle is from a different year, so there's always exactly one right gap.
- How are dates before year 1 shown?
- As BC, for example "44 BC".
- Do I need an account?
- No. You get a random nickname for the leaderboard, which you can change after your run.
- Where can I see the answers?
- Once a day is over, its full timeline appears in the archive.
- I think a date is wrong.
- Please tell us — include the puzzle number and the event.
- Is it free?
- Yes. History Streak is supported by advertising.
