> HOW IT WORKS
> THE BASICS
- A clue appears at the top of the screen — usually one sentence about a person, place, event, work of art, or document.
- Three blurred pixel-art images sit below it. Exactly one of them matches the clue.
- Pick an image by clicking it or pressing 1, 2, or 3 on your keyboard.
- If you're right, the image un-blurs and an explanation panel opens. If you're wrong, you lose a life and the correct answer is revealed anyway.
- Press Enter to load the next question.
> SCORING & STREAKS
- +10 points for each correct answer.
- Streak bonus: every three correct answers in a row adds a small multiplier to your next score.
- Lives: you start with three. Lose them all and the run ends — your score is saved to your local best.
- Hints:stuck? The clue's era badge and category label narrow things down fast.
> KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS
- 1 / 2 / 3 — pick an image
- Enter — next question / dismiss the answer panel
- M — mute / unmute sound effects
- CFG (top-right) — settings, theme, reset progress
