GEOPOCH

What is GEOPOCH?

GEOPOCH is a daily history quiz played on a 3D globe. Each day presents five clues from history, science, art, and music, and your task is to place a pin on the globe for the correct location and guess the year. The game is free and requires no sign-up.

Dropping a pin on a 3D globe and guessing the year is the kind of mental travel that makes me want to pack a bag for every historical site I've never seen.

Five quick puzzles with no sign-up and no fuss is exactly the kind of brain stretch I can squeeze between coffee and the next meeting.

The blend of spatial and temporal guessing is clever, but I want to know how the scoring handles near-misses before I call the difficulty curve fair.

Daily resets mean I can chase a perfect streak across history, science, art and music, and I'm already mapping out my week of full-score runs.

How to play GEOPOCH

For each of the five daily puzzles, read the clue, drop a pin on the globe at the place you think is involved, and enter your guess for the year. The goal is to be as accurate as possible for both location and time.

Tips & strategy

• Treat the clue as a two-part question: first identify the event or work, then think about where its story unfolded.
• For location, consider clues embedded in the prompt—nationalities, cities, institutions, or landmarks often point to a region.
• For the year, place the clue in a broad historical period first: ancient, medieval, early modern, 19th century, 20th century, or recent.
• Art and music clues often tie to an artist's lifetime or a specific movement, which can help narrow down the decade.
• If you are torn between two locations, go with the one that has the stronger connection to the clue's primary figure or subject.
