Cronología is a free daily history game. Each day brings ten events, one at a time, and you put each one in its place on a timeline. A miss does not end the game. A game takes about 3 minutes.
Play today’s CronologíaThe rules
Read the card
Each card is a moment in history, without its year. The timeline starts with one card already in place.
Put it in its place
Tap the + on the line where you think the card goes: before, between or after the cards that are there. With a keyboard, the arrows change the gap and Enter places the card.
See the year
The card shows its year. A card in the wrong place still goes to its true place, so the timeline is always right.
Place all ten
A miss does not end the game: you place all ten cards. Your result is the number of cards you put in their place, from 0 to 10.
Every day
Ten new events come out every day at 06:00 UTC, the same for everyone who plays that day. Every card comes in English and Spanish, and we check each date before we publish it.
