How to play
A game has six events. The player with the highest total score after all six rounds wins.
You have 35 seconds for each question. Without looking up the date, secretly enter one whole-number year from 1450 through 2025.
Your year locks when submitted and remains visible only to you. All guesses reveal together when everyone has answered or time expires.
In a group, the three best distinct errors earn 300, 150, and 50 points. Equal errors share the same place and the same points.
An exact year earns a further 200-point bonus, for a total of 500 points with first place.
In solo play, an exact year earns 500 points; an error of 1–2 years earns 300, 3–5 earns 150, 6–10 earns 50, and 11 or more earns 0.
No answer earns 0 points. After the reveal, the app shows the correct year, a short explanation, and a verifiable source.
After round six, compare the total scores. Players tied for the lead share the win.
Now bring the group together.
This game will be selected in your room. Invite your group and start when everyone is there.
