How to play Timeline

Seven moments from history, from ancient battles to the Moon landing. One is already on the timeline; place the other six, one at a time, before or after the ones you’ve placed. Then straight on to the next timeline.

The rules in 4 steps

1
One event starts on the timeline with its year, to give you a first anchor.
2
Read the next event and tap the gap where it belongs: before, between or after.
3
Right or wrong, it moves to its true spot and shows its year, so the line grows.
4
Place all six. Four or more right keeps your streak going.

Tips to score higher

Anchor on the events you’re sure about, then place the others before or after them.
Years before Christ are shown with “BC” and always come before AD years.
A wrong placement still lands in its true spot, so the timeline keeps getting more helpful.
Read the place under each event; it often hints at the era.
