About Headline (From The Think)
Headline is one of a small set of daily games on From The Think, alongside Timeline (guess the year of events), Moneyline and Underline. Each day there is a new numbered Headline game, number 172 on 2 October 2026, and every player gets the same one.
The game shows you real news headlines one at a time. Using the clues in the wording, such as names, institutions or events, you work out where in the world each story took place. It turns the news into a geography quiz and rewards people who follow what is happening beyond their own country.
