Every round points to a specific year using four clue types. Teams score more for guessing early, then explain which clue gave the answer away.
Before guests arrive
- Choose years far enough apart to produce distinct cultural clues.
- Create four-clue packets using objects, audio, headlines, and visual trends.
- Verify dates and prepare a source note for any historical claims.
The three moments
Build balanced clue packs
For each year, prepare an object, a short instrumental audio cue, a headline, and a fashion or technology image.
Reveal one clue at a time
Teams may lock in an answer after any clue, with earlier correct guesses earning more points.
Finish with personal history
Invite guests to submit one harmless photo or memory for a final custom round.
