Chronicle Daily
Rate itFive historical events a day: slide to the year each one happened and score by how close you land.
Every day: One numbered round a day of five historical events, the same five for everyone in the world, with at least two of them from before 1800. Each guess scores up to 100 points, for a day's total out of 500 and a daily leaderboard. New puzzle: Midnight UTC.
Chronicle Daily is a free guess-the-year history game. Each day's round gives everyone the same five events, and you drag a timeline from 3000 BC to the present to the year you think each happened, scoring up to 100 points per prompt depending on how close you get.
About Chronicle Daily
Chronicle Daily posts one numbered round a day, counted in UTC from its first round on 19 September 2026. Every round has five prompts, short descriptions of events such as the fall of Acre to end the Crusader states, picked from a bank of over a thousand, and every player in the world gets the same five. At least two of each day's prompts come from before 1800.
For each prompt you set a year on a single timeline running from 3000 BC to the present. Dragging is coarse, so you can nudge one year at a time with the arrow keys or type the year straight in, then lock it in. The answer appears beside your guess.
A guess that is dead on scores 100 points, and the score drops in a straight line to 0 the further off you are. The window is wider for old events than recent ones: you have up to 200 years of leeway at the ancient end of the scale and 50 at the modern end. Five prompts make a day's total out of 500.
After a round you can post your score to the Top 100 leaderboard, which also gives you a friend code to swap with others so you can race on a friends board. A share button copies your result, and Practice mode deals a random set of five whenever you want more. The whole game sits over a pixel-art landscape of pyramids, temples and an opera house under a sunset.

Tips
- For ancient events, a guess in the right century still scores, since the window there is up to 200 years; for modern events aim for the right decade.
- Type the year directly instead of dragging when you know it, as the slider covers five thousand years and is coarse with a mouse.
- Post a score once to get your friend code, then swap codes so you can compare rounds with friends.
