Endless Timeline: how long can your timeline grow?
Endless Timeline deals you one historical event at a time, the same events for every player that day. Slot each one into the right gap in your timeline within 15 seconds and see how far you get before your third mistake.
How to play
- Read the event on the card at the top.
- Tap the gap in the timeline where it belongs, or drag it there.
- A right guess adds the event to your timeline with its year. A wrong one costs a heart.
- You have 15 seconds for each event, a little less every 10 events. Running out of time costs a heart too.
- Get 5 right in a row to win back a lost heart.
- Three wrong guesses end the run. Share your score and see if your friends can beat it.
