Guess The Date is a free daily history game where you guess the date of famous historical events. Each day a new puzzle is revealed with clues, and your goal is to guess as close to the actual date as possible.
Read the clues provided about a historical event, then enter your best guess for the date it occurred. You can reveal additional hints if you need help, but using fewer hints earns you a better score.
Your score is based on how close your guess is to the actual date. A perfect guess earns the maximum score. The further your guess is from the actual date, the fewer points you earn. Using fewer hints also improves your score.
A streak counts how many consecutive days you have played. Playing every day builds your streak, which can unlock achievements and earn bonus recognition on the leaderboard. Missing a day resets your streak.
You can challenge a friend by creating a challenge link. Both players play the same historical date puzzle, and the player with the closest guess wins. Challenges expire after a set period if not accepted.
You can play without an account, but creating a free account lets you save your progress, track your streaks, unlock achievements, appear on the leaderboard, and challenge friends.
