Fun History-based Timekiller

[isucyfan]

History is not my greatest subject, but I am having fun with this game:

It pulls random Wikipedia historical events, and you have to place them correctly on a timeline. Say goodbye to your productivity today.

If you like this I would recommend Chronology. It's essentially the same thing except it's a party game you can play with a group of friends. I've had it for years and its a lot of fun.

I love Chronology.

Taking that and moving it to the top section of my bookmarks for sure

Thank you for hours of frustration.

Best streak so far, 11. (That's with, like, 5 attempts)

It'd be cool to have an Iowa State sports version of this.

A bonus is you can get stuff like "Ancient Egypt" and "Fall Out Boy formed" within the same challenge.

I got 13 on my try.

Based on Wikipedia - ok.

There are definitely ones that are easier than others.

The first one I tried I ended up with a 5. There were three answers that fell between 1435 and 1466. I felt Like Robert Jones at the free throw line.

This game is awesome

Thats what got me too, I got 3 events that were within 10 years of each other.

I chuckle when something I assume happened hundreds of years ago actually occurred recently (or vice-versa), especially if I have a wide gap available.

“That’s probably somewhere between 1370 and 1712 … Nope — 1947!”

I have tried it about 12-15 times and my best run is 12 which I have hit 3 times. I had one game where there were two events in the same year.

 

[dahliaclone]

I just got to 17 in a row and a lot were lucky guesses. LOL

EDIT: Just got 19 but was given a ton of pop culture/recent decades ones that I knew.

 

[isucyfan]

I've probably played 20 times or so, and have 13. It gets pretty tough up around 10 or so.

Not 100% accurate, seeing how Puma was started by a Nazi and not in the year 0.

 

[cyclones500]

You can feel smugly brilliant AND woefully inept within the same game!

I'm up to a streak of 16 on my third attempt. Might have to circle back when more free time arrives
