The 360° history game

Instead of reading about a moment in history, you stand in it. Every round is a full 360° scene of one documented event: drag to look around, find the clues, then guess where and when it is. No download, no account.

Step inside Today's challenge

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Drag, or move your phone, to look round the full scene.

  2. Step 2

    Pin where you are on the world map.

  3. Step 3

    Set the year, then read what you were standing in.

Why stand inside it

A panorama makes you look the way a visitor would. You notice the crowd, then the building they face, then the flags above it. That order of noticing is what makes the reveal stick: when you learn what the event was, you already know what it looked like.

Every way to play

Play the mixed world game, a single country, a single era, or the daily challenge. You can also challenge a friend to the same five scenes, or play party mode on one big screen with everyone guessing from their phones.
