Daily Timeline

Daily Timeline is a short history puzzle about the order of events. Each day's journey has a starting point, such as the signing of Magna Carta, and a destination further along in time. Between them are five steps, and at each step you are shown two events and must choose the one that comes closer to the goal.

A wrong pick does not end the game. You are shown the right answer and carry on, so you always reach the end; the score is how many of the five steps you got right. Each event comes with a short note on what happened and a less familiar detail about it, so a round teaches as much as it tests.

The events range across world history, from Viking raids and the Black Death to the Industrial Revolution, the world wars and recent decades. A perfect journey, all five right, keeps your streak going; the streak is stored in your browser without an account. A new journey arrives at midnight on your own clock, with a countdown on the result screen, and earlier journeys can be played from the archive.

It is quicker than the drag-into-order timeline games, since each step is a choice between two, and suits anyone who wants two minutes of history a day.
