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. Stuck? Reveal hints.
Every puzzle is a famous historical figure. All you see is where and when they were born (green) and died (red). Name them within 3 guesses.
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 always come from the 1,000 most notable. 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, 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 Daily they're free but appear in your shareable result.
Everyone in the world gets the same figure each day, drawn from the top 1,000. No points and no filters — just your guesses, your hints, and a copyable emoji result: ⬛ wrong, 🟨 close, 🟩 solved.
