Questions about the daily challenge
- Can I play past HistoryGuesser daily challenges?
- Yes. Once a day is over its five scenes are archived as a public map you can play any time. Only the current day's challenge is one-attempt-only and scored on the daily leaderboard.
- Do archived dailies count towards my streak?
- No. Streaks and the daily leaderboard only track the live challenge for the current UTC day. Archived days are for practice, for catching up on a theme you liked, or for playing with friends.
- How is each daily challenge chosen?
- Each day gets a theme — a thread connecting five historical moments — and five documented scenes that fit it, spread across eras and continents so no run is all 20th-century Europe.
- When does a new daily challenge appear?
- At midnight UTC. Everyone in the world plays the same five rounds that day, and the previous day moves into this archive.
