Whenere

Whenere is a daily history and geography game. Each day's challenge has three rounds, and each round names a historical event with a sentence or two about it, such as the Battle of Waterloo or the adoption of the Kyoto Protocol. You turn a satellite globe to find the place and drop a pin, then choose the date you think it happened.

The date picker has three styles: an arc, a precise slider, or steps that narrow it down from century to decade, year, month and day. After each round you see where and when the event really took place, how far off you were and the points for each part. At the end of the day you get a total and a share line, and a streak counts the days you play in a row. A hint button and a zoom hint help on a hard round, and coins from play buy more of them.

Beyond the daily there are Period Events, where you guess where something started and where it ended, a weekly theme when one is running, and, for signed-in players, a timed challenge, practice with last week's events, a flag mode and rooms to play against friends. The game's event texts are written in English, Spanish, Portuguese and French.

It suits players of Geopoch, WhenTaken or TimeGuessr who prefer events described in words to photographs, and anyone who likes working on a globe more than a flat map.
