Endless Pictures: a timeline of pictures
Endless Pictures deals you one historical picture at a time, with no caption, the same pictures for every player that day. Read the clues in each one and slot it into the right gap in your timeline within 20 seconds.
How to play
- Study the picture on the card at the top. Zoom in for a closer look.
- Tap the gap in the timeline where it belongs, or drag it there.
- A right guess adds the picture to your timeline with its event and year. A wrong one costs a heart.
- You have 20 seconds for each picture, a little less every 10. 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.
