## What is Whenly?

One event. One year. One call: BEFORE or AFTER?

Whenly is a daily history game about a skill you didn't know you had — placing moments in time. See an event, see a year, and decide which came first. Simple to start, genuinely hard to finish.

TEN QUESTIONS, TIGHTENING
Every game is a quick ten-question run. Question 1 gives you centuries of room; by question 10 the gap is a single year and the clock is tight. A miss never ends your run — you always play all ten — but only a perfect run earns the title. The Near-Miss Reveal shows exactly how close you came on a timeline, and tells you one thing worth knowing about what just happened.

WHENLY DAILY
Ten questions, identical for every player in the world, one attempt a day. Share your emoji grid, build a streak, and climb a global leaderboard that is scored on our servers — not on your phone.

THE MUSEUM
Every event you place correctly becomes a card in a permanent collection, arranged along your own timeline of history. Rarer events, rarer cards.

RACE A TIME TRAVELER
Go head-to-head against characters with their own quirks and specialities — or against a ghost of your own best run.

EVERY DATE, CHECKED
A trivia game is only as good as its facts. All 1,000 events were verified against Wikipedia and Wikidata by an automated pipeline, and every one the pipeline couldn't confirm was researched and resolved by hand. No date ships unchecked.

Plays offline. No ads. No account required — you can start playing the second it opens.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.2.0 — 2026-09-27

• Streak freeze: miss a day and your streak survives. One freeze every
  seven days, applied automatically.
• 65 new moments, from the Colosseum's opening games to the Paris Olympics,
  and Daily wins now go into your Museum too.
• Fewer repeats: runs and races steer clear of questions you've just seen.
• Cleaner play: the year sits right in the question, and leaving the app
  pauses a run or race instead of running out the clock.
• The Daily picks up where you left off if you're interrupted.
• Follows your phone's light or dark setting.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-09-11

• Finish the Daily and see the leaderboard right away — with your place
  against everyone who played today, even if you're outside the top 10.
• The Time Travelers from Race mode now play the Daily too. Beat them all —
  and race the one who finished just ahead of you.
• Every game ending now hands you the next one, and the Daily takes the
  front seat until you've played it.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-26

More variety in every game.

A quirk in the difficulty rules meant the early questions could only ever come from a handful of categories — Film & TV and Pop Culture could never appear before the later levels at all. That's retuned. All eight categories can now turn up at any level, so no two games open the same way.

Also new:
• Daily reminder — pick a time and keep your streak alive
• Share a solo run, not just the Daily
• Your streak now shows on the home screen while there's still time to save it
• A readable Museum timeline: each era gets equal space, instead of everything crowding into the right-hand edge
• VoiceOver labels throughout, and a status bar that's actually visible in light mode

### 1.0.1 — 2026-08-10

No release notes.
