Games like Eraly, the daily history game

Updated 2026-10-27. Checked against eraly.io where the note says so.

Eraly at eraly.io asks for seven years, with one guess and 25 seconds per moment. These alternatives offer different tasks: dating photos, ordering events or identifying people. This is an unofficial guide, not an endorsement or security review of the linked games.

How I would choose

  • Want photographs instead of text: Chronophoto or GuessNow focus on the year; TimeGuessr adds a location pin. See Eraly vs TimeGuessr.
  • Want written events and year guesses: Whenera, Headlines or Timeline are closer matches than a portrait quiz.
  • Want order, not a number: Timdle or Chronle. The Eraly vs Timdle note is the longer version.
  • Want a person rather than a date: Historydle, Dawn of Time, Historigame.
  • Want to stay inside Eraly’s rules and only need another round today: that is Infinite, not a different game. See Unlimited.
Eraly question screen, the mechanic the other games are compared with
Eraly’s mechanic: a sentence, a year, a clock. No map pin.

Links and descriptions were checked by direct requests to the game sites on 27 October 2026, alongside the repository’s earlier content research. Some sites return a JavaScript shell: their public page descriptions support the summaries, but a successful response does not prove every mode works. No paid mode was purchased. Check each site for current access and pricing; do not assume all 15 use Eraly’s free-daily model.
