What is Yearly Daily?

Yearly Daily is a daily history trivia game where you guess the exact year of real events that happened on today’s date. Each puzzle gives you a lineup of historical events, and your job is to place each one in the correct year. It is fun because it turns history knowledge into a risk-management puzzle. You do not need to know every date perfectly, but the closer your guesses are, the longer your lives last and the better your final run feels.

Yearly Daily Game Rules

  1. Each day gives you several historical events connected to the current calendar date.
  2. Each event happened on that same month and day, but in a different year.
  3. Your goal is to guess the exact year for every event.
  4. You start with 100 lives.
  5. For every guess, you lose 1 life for each year you are away from the correct answer.
  6. For example, if the correct year is 1980 and you guess 1975, you lose 5 lives.
  7. You need to finish all events with at least 1 life remaining to win.
  8. The challenge is based on historical knowledge, timeline sense, and careful estimation.

Strategy & Tips

  1. Start by identifying the broad era before trying to guess an exact year.
  2. Look for clues in names, countries, inventions, wars, sports events, pop culture references, and political terms.
  3. Use technology as a timeline clue: radio, television, internet, smartphones, spaceflight, and social media all point to different periods.
  4. If you are unsure, choose a reasonable midpoint instead of making an extreme guess.
  5. Save lives by avoiding wild guesses on events where the century is unclear.
  6. Compare the event with other historical milestones you know to anchor the date.
  7. For pop culture and sports clues, think about the peak years of the person, team, movie, song, or movement involved.
  8. Remember that the goal is not only accuracy, but surviving the full list with enough lives left.
