About When Did It Happen?
When Did It Happen? is a trivia game where you build a timeline together. Each turn you draw a card with an event, for example the Eiffel Tower being completed or the first text message being sent. You don’t need to know the year. You just have to place the card in the right spot between the cards already on the table.
If you get it right, the card stays and counts for you. Get it wrong and the card is out, and the game shows where it should have gone. The more cards there are, the harder it gets – and the more chatter and guesswork around the table.
Over 450 events from inventions, history, nature and space, sport and everyday life, from the pyramids to the first picture of a black hole. Choose your categories, and play first to 5, 7 or 10 cards.
How to play
- Type in your names, and choose categories and how many cards you need to win.
- Read the card out loud. Tap a plus on the timeline where you think it belongs.
- Tap Place card here. A correct placement wins you the card; a wrong one sends it out.
- When someone reaches the target, the round is played to the end. Most cards wins.
