Each day you guess either a historical figure or an event — the banner at the top tells you which. You get 6 tries.
Solving on try 1–6 earns 12 / 10 / 8 / 6 / 4 / 2 points. Miss all six and you earn 0.
Each wrong guess or skip reveals one more clue (up to 6). The bonus clue is offered on tries 1–3 only — revealing it halves the day's score.
Play streak counts days played in a row. Correct streak counts days solved in a row. Complete a 7-day cycle to earn 7 points, or 14 if you solved every day in it.
A new figure or event unlocks every day at midnight UTC.
Historicly is a free daily history guessing game. Each day there's one mystery person or event from the past, the same for everyone, from more than 300 rulers, scientists, artists, explorers, revolutions, wars and turning points.
Each wrong guess or skip reveals another clue. For a person, you'll learn their era, the region they're linked to, their field, the century they were born in, their lifespan and what made them famous. For an event, you'll get its era, where it happened, the type of event, its century, its dates and a key detail. Clues are shuffled every day, with broader hints tending to come first and the strongest ones last.
You have six guesses. Solve it on your first guess for 12 points, or 10, 8, 6, 4 or 2 points on later guesses. Stuck early? The optional bonus clue reveals the first letter of the answer and how many words it has. It's available during your first three guesses, but it halves that day's score.
Play every day to grow your play streak, solve every day to grow your correct streak, and play seven days in a row for a cycle bonus of 7 points, or 14 if you solved all seven. Your Historicly results also count towards your combined Streakly totals and milestone badges. A new historical figure or event arrives every day at midnight UTC.
