AtomicTime: History Timeline

What came first: the sinking of the Titanic or the first flight of the Wright brothers? The Magna Carta or Columbus reaching America?

AtomicTime is a history trivia game. We show you an event and you place it on your timeline: before, after or between the ones you already have. The year stays hidden until you drop it, so it's all down to your instinct and what you know.

A NEW CHALLENGE EVERY DAY 7 cards a day: 6 from world history, the same for players everywhere, and 1 from your own country's history. Share your result without giving the answers away, see how your country did ("You did better than 72%") and where it placed in the day's country ranking.

SUNDAYS, AGAINST THE CLOCK Every Sunday, the day's challenge is against the clock, with no help and played once. On Sunday's ranking, whoever gets the most right wins and, in a tie, whoever was faster.

RANKINGS Every card placed right scores points: 3 without help and 1 with help. Compete on the world ranking, your country's and with your friends, whom you add with a code. Changing phones? Get your nickname and points back with your recovery code.

DUEL WITH FRIENDS Finish a game and challenge a friend with a code: you both play the same cards, from every category or only the ones you choose, with no boosters or revives, and whoever gets more right wins.

LIVE PARTY Play with friends in the same room, each on their own phone: they join by scanning a QR, everyone places the same card at once and the ranking updates live. In teams or each on their own, with or without a clock, and at the end the Master of Time is crowned.

YOUR COUNTRY'S HISTORY Over 800 cards: more than 700 from world history, plus 60 key moments from the history of the United States and 60 from the United Kingdom. Choose your country from 37: if it doesn't have its own pack yet, you get one more world history card, and your country still takes part in the ranking. Living abroad? Pick the country you live in too, and your daily country card will alternate between both. In Endless Mode you can add the other country's pack.

LEARN WITH EVERY CARD Every card reveals a fun fact, and if you miss, you see where it goes. All cards are checked against their sources, and if you find a mistake, you can report it from the game.

ENDLESS MODE Choose the categories you like (History, Exploration, Science, Technology, Culture, Music, Sports) or all of them, and play until you lose all 3 lives. There are two records: your best score with any help, and the pure record, with no revives or boosters. Want more pressure? Turn on the clock: it has a record of its own. Look back at every game in "My games".

BOOSTERS • Era hint: shows the card's century; in Endless Mode, the decade too. And in Endless Mode: • Narrow down: turns off half of the wrong gaps. • Swap card: gives you another card. • Shield: your next mistake won't cost a life.

KEEP YOUR STREAK Play every day to keep your streak going. Turn on a reminder at the time you choose; it only comes on days you haven't played yet.
