SCORE 0000
Timeline Tap #1

5 moments.
One timeline.

Slide to when each event happened, anywhere from AD 1 to today. The closer you get, the more points you score.

How to play
  1. Each day you get 5 events: 2 easy, 1 medium and 2 hard.
  2. Drag the slider to when you think it happened, from AD 1 to today: 🏛️ Ancient Rome, 🏰 Middle Ages, ⛵ Age of Exploration, 🚂 Industrial Age, 🚀 Modern. For an exact year, type it in the box below the slider.
  3. Score up to 200 points per event, depending on how close you are. 1,000 is perfect.
  4. After each answer, tap how hard it felt. Your ratings help us tune future puzzles.
  5. Share your score and come back tomorrow for a new timeline.
  6. Want more? Practice has themed daily puzzles: US History, European History, Sports and Technology, each with its own calendar.

Scoring is based on how close you are compared with how long ago it happened. For recent events you lose about a point per year off; for older history the scale stretches, so a guess within a few percent still scores big. Every guess scores at least 1. Tip: press and hold + or − to move faster.
