What is TimeInvent?

TimeInvent is a daily guessing game about the inventions that shaped our world. Each day, a new invention is selected and its photo starts out blurred. You have 7 attempts to identify it - every guess sharpens the photo and compares attributes like country of origin, whether it is still in use, whether it needs electricity, its category or era, and its year. Test your knowledge of technology history and challenge your friends! It belongs to the history family of daily games: one shared puzzle per day for every player.

How to play

  1. Watch the Photo: The mystery invention's photo is blurred and becomes clearer after every guess.
  2. Search and Guess: Type in the search box to find and select an invention's name from the list.
  3. Compare Attributes: Each guess compares country, still-in-use status, electricity use, category or era, and year. Green = match, yellow = close (within 10 years), red = wrong. If an invention comes from two countries, sharing just one of them is enough for green.
  4. Use Hints: Stuck? Reveal up to 3 hints - the country, the decade, and the full un-blurred photo (or a fun fact if the photo is already clear).
  5. Win the Game: Identify the correct invention within 7 attempts to win! Share your result and challenge your friends.

Tips & strategy

Anchor on details you can date (fashion, technology, photo quality) and bracket your guesses instead of jumping randomly.
