Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Card Timeline Challenge work?▾
You are shown 7 sports cards in a random order. Your goal is to arrange them in chronological order from oldest to newest by dragging cards into the correct positions. You earn points based on how many cards you place correctly and how fast you complete the puzzle. The Daily Challenge uses the same cards for everyone, so you can compare scores with friends.
How is my score calculated?▾
You earn 100 points for each card placed in the exact correct position, plus bonus points for speed. A perfect placement of all 7 cards earns 700 base points plus up to 300 speed bonus points (1000 max). If a card is one position off, you earn 30 points. Two or more positions off earns 0. Your final score is graded on an S/A/B/C/D/F scale.
What is the difference between Daily Challenge and Random Game?▾
The Daily Challenge uses a fixed set of 7 cards that are the same for all players on a given day, allowing you to compare your score and strategy with others. Random Game generates a fresh set of cards each time you play, giving you unlimited practice. Both modes count toward your stats (games played, best score, accuracy).
Does Card Timeline Challenge track my progress?▾
Yes! The game tracks your total games played, best score ever, average accuracy percentage, and current daily streak (consecutive days playing the Daily Challenge). All stats are saved locally in your browser. You can also share your daily score with a visual emoji grid showing which cards you placed correctly.
What types of cards appear in the game?▾
Cards span the full history of sports card collecting, from vintage pre-war cards (1900s-1940s) through the junk wax era (1980s-1990s) to ultra-modern releases (2020s). You might see a 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth next to a 2024 Bowman Chrome prospect card. The game draws from over 6,500 real cards across baseball, basketball, football, and hockey.
