Every puzzle is a famous historical figure - and all you see is where and when they were born and died. Study the map, then name them within three guesses.
Every puzzle is a famous historical figure. All you see is where and when they were born (green circle ●) and died (red diamond ◆). Name them within 3 guesses.
One cutoff to know: the game only includes figures who died before 2011.
Born 1769 in Corsica, died 1821 on Saint Helena - Napoleon Bonaparte.
Type a name and pick from the suggestions - 10,000 figures are guessable, but answers come from the most notable: the top 1,000, or a category's 200 best-known in category runs. Wrong guesses appear on the map as numbered rings, and each one tells you how far off you were in all four dimensions: birth place, death place, birth year, death year. Numbers shown in green are inside the “close” range for that dimension.
A guess that is close in all four dimensions counts as CLOSE - roughly within 500 km of both places, and within ±5 years for recent figures, loosening to ±50 years for ancient ones.
Four hints, in increasing strength: Category (politician, painter…), Last initial (the first initial instead for single-named figures like royalty), Trivia (a side fact), and Big trivia (nearly gives it away). In Marathon they cost a slice of the puzzle's points (−10% / −15% / −20% / −30%); in the dailies they're free but appear in your shareable result.
Everyone in the world gets the same figure each day. No points and no filters - just your guesses, your hints, and a copyable emoji result: ⬛ wrong, 🟨 close, 🟩 solved.
