What is Daily Time Travel?
Daily Time Travel places you on a vertical timeline and asks you to move backward to a target year. Your position is labeled "You are here!" with the event you're on, the goal is pinned at the very top in a GOAL badge, and the timeline is marked in fifty-year increments. Below, the question never changes form: two events, "Which happened most recently?", one click. The journey is numbered and dated, and an SVENSKA toggle offers the game in Swedish.
How to play
- Locate your position on the timeline: the colored marker shows your starting year and its associated event.
- Read the GOAL badge at the top of the timeline; that's the year to reach.
- From the two cards shown at the bottom, click the one whose event happened most recently.
- A "Next →" button sits beneath the question. The site summarizes the objective like this: reach the target year in as few jumps as possible.
Why play Daily Time Travel?
Comparing two events is a tiny gesture, but the timeline turns each click into movement: you are not answering a question, you are moving, and the goal pinned at the top moves closer or not. The game fits on a beige page, with no account or counters, and that austerity is what gives it its nervous energy.
Reading the feedback
The page shows a "CHECKING…" state while a choice is verified and a "You've arrived!" panel at the end of the run. A player-feedback box sits at the bottom of the page, written in the first person ("Found a bug? Too easy, too hard? I read everything.").
Modes
- Today's journey
- A single journey per day, numbered and dated at the head of the timeline.
Tips & strategy
- Start by gauging the gap. Your marker and the GOAL badge are on the same timeline, marked every fifty years: so you know before the first click whether you'll need to cross one century or three.
- Nothing on the screen is timed and no attempt counter appears. The only pressure comes from the number of jumps, which the game claims as its measure of success.
