Flashback

Flashback NYT is a weekly history game from The New York Times where your challenge is to place 8 notable events in chronological order.

Each puzzle progressively presents eight cards, each describing a real event from history, science, or culture.

• Drag and drop the each event into sequence.
• Confirm placement on each to see how close you are.
• Keep playing until all 8 are placed.

A fresh puzzle arrives every week, making it a recurring test of your timeline intuition.

Why we like it:

• ✅Eight events keep it focused yet challenging.
• ✅Weekly format makes it feel special and less rushed.
• ✅Fun mix of trivia and deduction with educational value.

Hint: Think about items relative to one another and not necessarily in absolute years.
