Whenere is a history trivia game with a twist. The game presents you with three different events each day, and you have to place it on a timeline and on a map. The closer you are, the more points you get. You can go down to the date if you remember it to achieve the most points.
The game first presents you with a globe to place your guess. You can zoom in to be as precise as you would like. Try looking for geographic features that help you, taking advantage of the map with full features. Then, you can select in a timeline when to place the event. Try pinching (or if you are on a computer, using the mousewheel) to give a more accurate response. If that is not for you and you know the exact date, select the "precise" button to switch to a view where you can enter the exact date.
The "Event" category will slowly give way to more narrower categories in the future.
Unsure where the place is? Happens to all of us, especially if that country is long gone. Not many people take a plane to Pannonia. But try to look for hints in the event description. If the event mentions the Romans, you will know where to aim for.
Don't know the person? Try taking advantage of the relations you know. If you remember a picture of a handshake, and your sought person was old while the one you know was young, you have got a start.
Leverage your language skills. Names of places and people also contain important hints to place them in time and space.
Themes are an extended mode of play where you have more than three challenges, and they are related—such as battles of the First Punic War.
Themes are narrower in span and will usually give you a chronology that allows you to better know when to place an event. Since they are more focused, scoring for challenges inside a theme is different from scoring in normal challenges. For example, if you are playing the World War II theme, accuracy will be more important and missing by a full 3 years will be more penalized than in normal challenges.
They are a nice way of learning about a particular subject and are renewed each week.
The game is in active development. New game modes to place events in a less precise way are being developed.
Furthermore, another mode where relating different events is as important as placing them on the map is in the works.
Features such as keeping track of scores, practice mode, past challenges, and event exploration are on the roadmap.
