Echoes
What is Echoes?
Echoes is a daily history puzzle in which you listen to five AI-generated eyewitness accounts, one at a time, and try to identify the historical event they describe. Once you have a theory, you pin the event on both a globe and a timeline. All voices are fictional and AI-generated, but they are based on real eyewitness accounts.

Finally, a geography game where you earn points by pinpointing history on a globe — my map-lover heart is doing cartwheels.

Five quick voices and one shot at the map — this is exactly the kind of thing I can squeeze into a coffee break.
How to play Echoes
You hear one voice at a time, and each account adds details about the same event. Use those details to determine the event, then place it on the globe and timeline. Listening to fewer voices increases your score, but using more voices can help you avoid a wrong guess.
Tips & strategy
- Use the first voice to establish rough clues such as language, geography, era, and emotional tone.
- Think about both location and date together—the same clue can narrow a place or time independently.
- If you are not confident, spend an extra voice to confirm details; the points lost may be worth a correct pin.
- Listen for named people, places, objects, or technologies that can identify the event quickly.
- Try past archive puzzles to get a feel for how much information each voice typically reveals.
