Features & Capabilities

Put history in its place! Place real events on a timeline by drag or tap. New players get a friendly guided first game to learn the ropes.

Place historical events on a growing timeline. Get it right and the timeline grows. 12 categories, 1,200+ events, a new Daily Challenge every day. Not multiple choice — you sort history.

I built this game for my wife. We loved playing Chronology for many years, but the content never changed. So I made the game she asked for — a trivia game that never gets old.

HOW IT WORKS Each round, you get a historical event. Place it where you think it belongs on the timeline. Get it right and the timeline grows. Get it wrong and you learn something new.

A NEW CHALLENGE EVERY DAY 5 events, surprise category, under 2 minutes. Everyone gets the same Daily Challenge. Share your results and see who sorted history best. Daily streak with celebrations at 7, 14, 30, 100, and 365 days. Streak freezes when life gets in the way.

GO DEEP 12 categories — US History, World Wars, Ancient Civilizations, Music & Entertainment, Sports History, and more. 100+ researched events in every category. Two new categories every month, one chosen by community vote.

LEARN, DON'T JUST PLAY Turn on Learning Mode and events you miss keep coming back until you master them. Spaced repetition that actually works. Perfect for students, homeschool families, and anyone who wants screen time that teaches.

PLAY AT YOUR PACE Friendly mode (no penalties), Competitive, or Expert. No timer. Sprint (5 rounds) to Epic (30 rounds). Works completely offline.

PLAY TOGETHER
there are two ways to play with friends and family.

PASS & PLAY On a road trip? Waiting at a restaurant? Pass the phone and take turns. 2-6 players, one device, no WiFi needed. Pick your category, set your difficulty, and see who knows history best.

NETWORK PLAY Board game night without the board. Two teams on their own devices over the same WiFi. Choose your category and go. The game night alternative that never runs out of content.

TRACK YOUR MASTERY PROGRESS Two ways to track your progress Scholar Path for breadth across all of history and categories. Historian Path for deep expertise.

TWO GAME MODES Sorting History — place events on a timeline. History Pinpoint — guess the exact year (Historian exclusive).

Play this game with the family. Fun way to learn history. We play it in the car instead of music. More fun and engaging.
