Hindsight

How to play

A secret moment from history is hidden behind a blurred painting. Your job is to name it.

Ask yes/no questions

You have 20 questions. Type your own (“Was it a war?”, “Europe?”, “1800s?”) or tap one of the Suggestions. Short fragments work: “man” is read as “Was a man involved?”. Questions that aren't yes/no (“What year was it?”) don't count and cost nothing.

Watch the picture sharpen

Every question you use makes the picture a little clearer. It snaps fully sharp when the round ends.

Name it

Type your guess in the gold Name it box whenever you think you know. Spelling and wording don't need to be exact: “titanic”, “the big ship that sank” and “titanc” all count. You can also type the name straight into the question box. A wrong name costs one question.

Scoring

Daily and practice

The daily puzzle is the same for everyone in the world and resets at 00:00 UTC. Your streak counts consecutive days you name the daily. Practice mode gives you random moments as often as you like and never shows you today's daily.

After the round

You get the story behind the moment, where it happened on a world map, and a spoiler-free result to copy and share.
