    Each round shows an artefact from the open-access collections of The Met or the Cleveland Museum of Art.

  2. 02

    Drop a pin

    Tap the map where you think it was made.

  3. 03

    Pick a time

    Choose a 250-year block on the timeline, then submit your guess.

  4. 04

    See how you rank

    After ten rounds, your score is placed on a curve of everyone who played that day.

Good to know

  • 10,000 points a round. Points come from how close you get on both place and time, up to 10,000 a round.
  • Your scorecard. Each round is a square: blue for 9,000 or more, green for a strong round, yellow for a fair one and red for a miss.
  • A broader mix. Museum collections lean European, so the objects are weighted to cover a wider range of cultures and periods.
