WikiTrivia quiz: do you know what year everything that happened, happened?

[Guppeth]

WikiTrivia


The game shows you random events from human history, and you have to drag them onto a timeline. You lose a life each time you make a mistake.

My high score is 12, because my knowledge is embarrassingly Eurocentric. Beat my score, you clever bastards!

(maybe this should be on gaming side?)

 

[Fat4all]

this is neat, but im terrible at it

best streak I got was 7

 

[UnluckyKate]

This is a neat card based board game. Super easy to set up and play.
I think it's called Timeline

 

[Shelbyville Milhouse]

Idk, this seems kinda dumb. I got "Astronomy" and I don't know what I'm supposed to do with that?

 

[Fat4all]

usually the bottom of the card is a clue as to the year they are aiming for

It's still being developed, so it's sometimes super dumb and wrong.

ah okay. The idea is neat.

I wish there was a more curated version of this that's more about world history so I can actually learn a little bit. Because last time I got like 5 celebrity birth dates lol

I looked for it and you're right, it's called Timeline. It looks cool! They have different sets with different themes (like what Fantastapotamus wants from this game) and you can mix them up and build a giant deck.

Timeline: Inventions

A game about history that’s fun for the whole family, even if you don’t know your history!

Germany
Created: 1949
Doubt.

Managed to somehow get an 11 on my first go.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

Best I got so far was a streak of 8.

Edit: Up to 13 now

 

[uzipukki]

Third attempt went well:

 

[Stove]

Managed a 14 on first go. :) Not as much luck in the next play though.

It just told me that Gigabyte Technology was founded in 789 😂

Fun game when it works though. I've managed 13.

 

[Siresly]

I am a master of history. Ask me anything about if the Corvair was introduced before Van Damme was born.

 

[MaxAugust]

Unfortunately a bit busted, it had "British Empire" as 1583 apparently for England claiming but not actually occupying a part of Newfoundland. Which is also a solid 124 years before the Act of Union which created Great Britain. I also had some legendary figures like Seth from the Bible.

 

[Cjdamon042]

Got a streak of 5 three times in a row, but just landed 12. Pretty neat idea.

Gutted I got Bill Paxton's birth wrong. I was thinking more 52/53 so placed him before On the Waterfront.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

Up to 16 now. This shit is addictive.

 

[thebeeks]

Thank you game for taking pity on me and asking if Vox the website was older or younger than Marcus Aurelius.

Current highest streak is 14.

 

[BLEEN]

I gave up when a corporation was made in the year 26. Just 26.

Fuck you.

 

[Deleted member 49611]

two 8 eight streaks

 

[ravn0s]

My best streak so far is 15.

 

[Kivvi]

The only thing I dislike are the actror/singer/host born in the last 50 years that aren't really special, but they needed something for after the second world war timeline.
They could easily add some newer countries, wars, crisis, technology made... Or am I just unlucky with my cards?

 

[ravn0s]

Just had one where Gigabyte Technology was created in the year 789.

 

[Deleted member 43]

Ha, game says the Colt gun company was created in 69 AD.

And that the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle was written in 173.

 

[____]

My mind breaks into pieces when people can remember specific events from specific months, dates and years. I get the idea of 'history' but never understand why/how people learn this stuff.

Edit: With a streak of 6, I feel luck has been on my side. I don't know shit about shit.

St. Peter is considered the first Pope and so they seem to be dating it off of him becoming Pope upon Jesus' death.

 

[whatsinaname]

I am also really shit at this, turns out.

Oh right. I was wondering about Judas. Didn't he die before Jesus.

 

[Ginger Hail]

Got a 21, made a lot of inferences for the oldest stuff and was lucky with getting some relatively "modern" stuff

 

[Deleted member 20361]

So I'm guessing they didn't have 7 Up at the first Oscars. Lame.

The 1st Academy Awards took place on May 16, 1929.
7up was introduced June 19, 1929.

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

The first card I was given asks if the Covid-19 pandemic came before or after 1874....decisions, decisions.

 

[Mórríoghain]

Gigabyte Technology - 789

Excuse me?

 

[Teddy]

It's a pretty fun game actually, I managed 11!

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

The Spanish conquest of the Aztecs happened on year 1? What?

 

[MayorSquirtle]

This would be more fun if you could filter certain categories, like removing art history. Or doing one with only the founding dates of countries.

 

[Deleted member 20361]

Too often I drop on the wrong slot by accident.

 

[GSG]

16 is the highest for me so far. A lot of it is based on luck, it's annoying when you get a card that's in between two close years.

 

[Dr.Social]

Idk, this seems kinda dumb. I got "Astronomy" and I don't know what I'm supposed to do with that?

I got the number 1,000,000. It says it was published in 1250.

 

[trashbandit]

"The 16th century Spanish invasion of Mesoamerica"
Ended: 1

What the fuck game?

 

[thewienke]

Yeah I love history but only got an 11

They start putting dates real close to each other to fuck you over

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

I got Michael B Jordan and his description was: "NAROTU SHIPPEWDEN FAN"

 

[Mad Gamer 64]

Managed 21 on my first go. Think I'm gonna retire on top
