How to play Before or after
Two moments in history, one question: did the first happen before or after the second? Answer quickly to keep your streak alive. You have three lives, and every three right answers the dates get closer together, from centuries apart to just a few years.
What comes up
- Turning points such as the fall of Constantinople (1453), Haiti’s independence (1804) or the fall of the Berlin Wall (1989).
- Flags: was this flag first flown before or after a given year?
- Events from every continent, each with a one-line explanation and a source after you answer.
- How does scoring work?
- Every right answer scores, and a run of right answers builds a combo bonus. A wrong answer or running out of time costs a life.
- Are the dates checked?
- Yes: every event links to its source, and questions are only asked where the dates are clearly apart.
