Placing events into a growing timeline across science, war, invention and exploration is chronology, the discipline of arranging events in order of occurrence.

Wagering on your certainty for each placement is the original addition.

The wager measures the thing that actually varies. Most people know roughly when a handful of events happened and have almost no idea about the rest, and cross-domain timelines expose that unevenly — which century the telescope arrived in is a different sort of knowledge from which century a war did.

Chronowright is an original history game that blends timeline ordering with a press-your-luck wagering twist. It's free to play in your browser with no sign-up.
