alt Hacker NewsTimdle – Place historical events in chronological order
Comments
UI issue: my window was resized to be quite short so I was clicking the dots completely unaware that the event I was placing was hidden in the y-overflow at the bottom of the page. Sometimes visible scroll bars are useful...
There is a very simple game called "Timeline" that is basically this: https://www.zygomatic-games.com/en/game/timeline-classic/
Extremely simple. No barrier to entry.
I enjoyed it.
My girlfriend's first reaction after getting 30/36 and seeing the neutral smiley face emoji was, "Wordle doesn't judge me."
This looks like an electronic version of the card game Chronology. Which is a great party game because it's easy to explain and you can play cooperatively if that fits your groups vibe better.
36/36 with some luck.
The domain has been created on November 2024. Is this game inspired by the Trekking Through History boardgame [1] from 2022?

Cool. I like the left to right timeline better than the bottom to top one of the New York Times Flashback: https://www.nytimes.com/spotlight/flashback
"Something went wrong. Please try again later." These two already seem to be in chronological order :D
Cool concept! It would be nice if after the game was complete the tiles linked to the wikipedia entry for each event so the player could learn more.
Initial prompt confused me. Weimar hyperinflation happened before the cultural revolution in China. Clicked the blob that was labeled before. Wrong answer!
Left page.
Probably a skill issue but that was my experience.
Very cool! I wonder if a logarithmic version would be fun [0][1]

36/36 though two of the eight were lucky wild guesses.
I would be interested in a game like this where you order all 8 events and then get scored (similar to wordle). And then try again to put them in the right order, fewest attempts scores better.

Fun. Scored 35/36.
Have you considered an endless mode where you keep playing until you make a mistake?
If a game like this gets super popular can it be monetised?
35/36. I don’t know if it is too easy
endless mode would be nice - you play until you make a mistake. How many historical events are available?
35/36 FTW!
That was fun.
Fun game, though four years after Wordle I think we can move on from naming every browser puzzle game "something-le" :)
Slight spoiler alert: The last event it gave me was Ireland winning the Six Nations grand slam, which has in fact happened multiple times. In the event it didn't matter as the earliest time it happened was later than the next latest event but in another scenario I think it could have resulted in confusion and possibly a false negative. Or is it smart enough to know only to have an event like that where its place is not ambiguous?
