How to play
Each puzzle is one mystery year between 1960 and 2025. Every clue is something that happened in that year. You get six guesses, and each wrong guess unlocks another clue.
The answer is 3 to 5 years before 2010, so it's between 2005 and 2007.
After each guess, the coloured label tells you how close you were:
- Scorching within 2 years
- Warm 3 to 5 years
- Cool 6 to 15 years
- Cold more than 15
There are six editions, each with its own puzzle every day. New years arrive at midnight.
Guess the year. Six ways, every day.
Pick the world you know best. Five clues, six guesses, and a fresh set of mystery years at midnight.
