About this game
You don't need to know the year. Just what came first.
Before or After shows you real events — the fall of the Berlin Wall, the release of Pulp Fiction, the founding of Baghdad — and asks you to put them in order. You might not know when the printing press was invented, but you know it came before the telephone. That's all it takes.
It's a reasoning game, not a memory test.
SIX WAYS TO PLAY
- Classic — arrange three to six events from oldest to newest
- Before or After — one event against a reference: earlier, or later?
- What Happened Next — pick which of four events followed
- Missing Event — fill the gap in a partial timeline
- Exact Year — name the year, with credit for getting close
- Timeline Builder — drop ten events onto a continuous axis
A PUZZLE EVERY DAY
One puzzle a day, the same one for every player worldwide. One attempt, no retries. Build a streak and see how far you can carry it. Scores are checked on our server before they reach the leaderboard, so the board reflects play.
840 EVENTS, EVERY DATE CHECKED
Football, cinema, television, world history, Arab and Islamic history, technology, video games, science and space. From 2560 BC to today, across seven eras.
Where historians genuinely disagree about a date, the card says so — and you are never scored on it.
Arabic here is not a translation. The Arab and Islamic collection runs from the Hijra through the House of Wisdom, Ibn al-Haytham and Ibn Khaldun to the Aswan High Dam, the Burj Khalifa and the 2022 World Cup.
COLLECT WHAT YOU MEET
Every event you see becomes a card, whether you placed it right or not. Place one correctly three times and you master it. Every ten mastered cards earns a hint.
WORK THROUGH THE ERAS
Seven eras, each with its own levels. Three stars to earn on every one — for accuracy, for speed, and for finishing without hints.
IT PLAYS FAIR
- No subscription
- No energy timer, no waiting for lives
- No loot boxes
- Full-screen ads only between sessions — never mid-round, never after a loss
- Rewarded ads are optional and always tell you what you get before they start
- One purchase removes ads. It's the only purchase in the app.
BUILT THE WAY YOU PLAY
Arabic and English, with proper right-to-left layout throughout. Light and dark themes, both designed rather than one flipped from the other. Tap to swap, or drag — your choice, in Settings. Sound and haptics switch independently.
Works offline. Every event ships inside the app, so nothing is downloaded to play.
No account. No sign-up. No email address.
