Historic Firsts deals you six historic firsts each day, things like inventions, scientific breakthroughs and cultural milestones, and you arrange them on a timeline from oldest to newest. You can flip a card to learn more, and three wrong submissions close the day's edition.
About Historic Firsts
Historic Firsts is a daily timeline game from Daily Puzzle Press LLC, launched in 2026 and styled as a newspaper, with each day's puzzle printed as a numbered edition. The deck holds six cards, and each card is a first: the first of an invention, a discovery or a milestone in culture. Your job is to drag them into six slots from the earliest, number one, to the most recent, number six.
You can flip any card to read more about it before you commit. When you are happy, press Submit to lock in your order. A wrong order costs a submission, and after three wrong submissions the edition closes until tomorrow, so it rewards thinking before guessing.
A new edition comes out every day and counts towards a streak. Playing needs no account; a free reader subscription with just an email keeps your stats and streak for good and lets you play friends, while a paid Press Pass adds every past edition, themed bonus editions and play across devices.
Each card carries an engraved illustration in the style of an old print, from a Gothic flying buttress to a 1950s color television, so a day's deck can span thousands of years.
It suits players who like knowing when things first happened rather than battles and dates of rulers.
