A daily history challenge

Where — and when — are you?

Once a day, everyone in the world slips into the same moment in history — a living scene with spoken narration. Work out where on Earth you are, and what year it is.

A Timeslip scene filling the phone screen: a bombed London street strewn with broken glass, a wrecked green car outside a domed civic building, a red telephone box, and onlookers in 1970s coats. A bar across the top reads “A Rain of Glass”.
1

Initiate a timeslip

Photograph something with a connection to the past, then shake your phone — gently will do — to slip into today’s challenge.

2

Guess where — and when

Pin down the place and the year. Three clues are there if you need them, but each one costs points.

3

Uncover the story

Then dig into the day itself — a vivid read on why it mattered, a timeline around it, and documentaries and podcasts to go further.

Inside the game

Name the place. Nail the year.

Every scene is thick with evidence — the clothes, the light, the story the narrator tells. Commit to your answer, or take another clue and trade away a few points.

Explore the moment

After you guess, five quick questions open the scene up. Answer them well to claw back points — and walk away actually knowing the history.

See where it happened

Every timeslip is anchored to a real place on Earth. When the round ends, drop onto the exact spot on a satellite map and see how it looks today.

Get the whole story

A short, vivid read on why the moment mattered, and a timeline setting the day among the events that led to it and the ones that followed. Then keep going — documentaries to watch, podcasts to listen to, and the sources they all came from.

Play it together

Start a group with one shareable code and race friends, family, or workmates up the daily leaderboard — everyone slips into the same moment, every day.

Your history, on record

Streaks, win rate, best scores, and every day you’ve played — your whole run through the past, kept in one place.

Today’s moment is waiting

A new scene from history lands every day, free to play — slip in and see if you can place it. A membership opens the rest: the full story behind each day, the documentaries and podcasts it points you to, and the back catalogue of everything you’ve missed.
