Endless Years: how long can 100 years last you?
Endless Years is an endless year guessing game. You start with a bank of 100 years, and every guess costs as many years as you're off. Get as many events as you can before the bank runs dry.
How to play
- Read the event and type a year, or use the slider and the ±1 and ±10 buttons.
- Every year you're off comes out of the bank, at most 25 for one guess. Within 2 years costs nothing.
- The exact year wins 10 years back.
- You have 20 seconds for each event. It starts in the 20th century, and older events creep in as you go.
- Your score is the number of events you get through. Share it and see if your friends can beat it.
