Read full descriptionHide full description
How well do you really know when things happened? Whenabouts is a timeline trivia party game built around one simple question: when did it happen? Draw a card — a real event with a hidden year — and drop it onto your timeline where you think it fits. Get it right and it stays. Keep going for more cards, but guess wrong and you lose everything you haven't locked in yet. Play it safe or push your luck. First to lock in 10 cards wins. Everyone plays on their own phone — together in the same room, or online with friends anywhere. Scan a QR code or share a code to join in seconds. FEATURES • Quick to learn, hard to put down • 2–8 players, live or online • Spin the wheel for a category: history, music, film & TV, sports, science, arts, and everyday life • Push-your-luck scoring — play it safe or go for broke • Pick your nickname and avatar • Bring your own deck with custom questions • Play in American English, British English, or Swedish No ads. No accounts. Just grab some friends and play.
