A little help placing the correct notable event clue cards on the New York Times's Flashback puzzle.
I thought we’d try out a new game from The New York Times called Flashback. It’s a visual-historical puzzle game that tests your historical knowledge—and your ability to make good guesses based on the game’s visuals and historical descriptions of events.
To play the game, you’re first given one ‘clue card’ which is placed on the timeline. This clue card is an anchor point, with every other clue card either taking place before or after. You have to drag the remaining clue cards, one by one, and place them on top or below . You are given a visual icon that goes with each one, and a description of the event, but no date until after you place the card.
Incorrect clues are moved the correct location after you make your turn. You receive no points for incorrect clues, and 2 to 5 points for correct ones. A perfect score is worth 28 points. The New York Times editors base clues off of the paper’s past reporting. In today’s Flashback, we’re given the 1962 event: Francis Gary Powers, a captured U-2 pilot, is freed in the first major prisoner swap of the Cold War (a very relevant clue card given218 BCE — Hannibal of Carthage crosses the alps with his armies and gives the Romans a run for their money.1806 — Noah Webster creates the first American dictionary, fixing silly British spelling conventions.1983 — A French scientist helps identify H.I.V. as the leading cause of AIDS.
