The daily format works well here because a single well-known event or figure can carry an entire puzzle's worth of clues.

Timeline and year-guessing formats

Some games show a photo or headline and ask you to guess the year, narrowing your range after each attempt. Others lay out a set of events and ask you to put them in chronological order, which tests sequencing more than exact dates.

Figures versus events

A game built around historical figures usually reveals biographical clues one at a time, from broad facts to specific ones. A game built around events instead centres on a photograph, document or headline, which suits players who recognise images better than names.

Questions people ask

Do history games require exact dates?

Some ask for an exact year and score you on how close you were, while others only ask you to order events correctly, which does not need exact dates.

Are these games about world history or a specific country?

It varies by game; the list below includes whichever have joined the relaydle network, in either scope.
