How to play

Time Warp in five steps.

  1. 1

    Choose Time Warp, a difficulty level, question count, and scoring mode.

  2. 2

    Yakery presents an event with four possible dates or years.

  3. 3

    Players choose before the twelve-second countdown ends.

  4. 4

    Correct and faster answers build individual or random-team scores.

  5. 5

    Review the timeline facts and see who navigated the widest range of eras.

Example round

From the printing press to the first website

One round may ask when a scientific discovery was announced, when a hit album appeared, or when a major engineering first occurred—testing sequence and era sense across very different subjects.

Best for

Use it when the room needs…

  • History-minded teams
  • Classrooms
  • Six-minute energizers

Facilitator tips

Keep the chain moving.

  • Use mixed difficulty for groups with varied historical interests.
  • Random team colors keep generational knowledge differences playful.
  • After the round, ask which date felt most surprising and why.
