About Daily Timeline

Daily Timeline is a free, quick daily game about history. Every day you get five inventions, discoveries or events. Your job is to put them in order, from oldest to newest.

It sounds easy until you find out that the fax machine is older than the telephone, or that sharks are older than trees. The fun is in the surprise, and every puzzle ends with the real dates and a short fact about each card.

How to play

• Drag the cards (or use the arrows) so the oldest is at the top.
• You have 3 tries. Cards in the right spot turn green.
• When you finish, read the dates and facts, then share your result.

A new puzzle every day

A new timeline appears every day at midnight, your local time. Everyone plays the same puzzle, so you can compare results with friends. It takes about two minutes.

About the dates

We check every date carefully, but history is messy. Many inventions developed over years, and ancient dates are often estimates. When a date is approximate, we mark it with "c." (circa, meaning "around") or "~". If you think we got something wrong, we'd love to hear from you.
