## What is Retro Nibble?

RETRO NIBBLE — Test your tech history IQ

Think you know the machines, software and moments that built the digital world? Retro Nibble challenges you across four fast-playing modes packed with neon nostalgia.

PIXEL MODE
A legendary game is hiding behind a pixelated blur. Reveal it bit by bit — the fewer pixels you need, the higher your score. From the Atari 2600 to the Game Boy and beyond.

TIMELINE
Eight tech milestones. One correct order. Drag the cards into chronological sequence and lock them in. Apple II, World Wide Web, first iPhone — can you sort them without looking it up?

FAKE TECH
Real invention or total fabrication? Each round throws you a tech "fact" and you have to decide — did this actually happen, or did someone make it up? Some of the real ones are wilder than the fakes.

DAILY QUIZ
A fresh set of four-choice questions every day. Compete against the clock, use a hint if you're stuck, and keep your streak alive. Miss a day and the streak resets — no mercy.

HOW IT PLAYS
• All four modes are completely free to play
• Hints are available in every mode — first one free, earn more by watching a short ad
• Sign in with Apple or email to save your progress, or play as a guest
• Clean neon-on-dark interface designed to feel like the era it celebrates

Whether you lived through the 8-bit era or you're just discovering it, Retro Nibble is the tech history quiz that doesn't take itself too seriously.

Boot up. Play. Score.
