Finally, a daily quiz that treats the map like a place you travel, not a list to memorize.
Five quick taps on a spinning globe — perfect for a coffee break, if you're okay with no take-backs.
How to play Where in History
Read each clue, then drag to rotate the globe and scroll or pinch to zoom. Tap once to lock your answer — there are no take-backs. You score more points the closer you land to the correct spot, and later questions in the day's set are worth more than earlier ones.
Tips & strategy
- Use the clue's time period and context to narrow down a modern-day country or region before searching the globe.
- Zoom in after rotating to get a more precise pin placement, since points depend on how close you land.
- Don't tap until you're confident; you can only lock one answer per question.
- Because later questions are worth more, it may pay to spend extra time on them.
- Try practice mode to get a feel for the globe and scoring without affecting your daily streak.
