EpochadeGallery of useful lives

Look closely. Read carefully.

Find the person. Discover their story.

Epochade is a free history puzzle game for curious players who like close looking. Follow three clues around a gallery, tap the matching person and objects, and uncover a real life with the evidence behind it. Eight galleries and a daily gallery are waiting, and you do not need to know the history first.

Every gallery hides one person and two things tied to their work among a crowd of strangers. Wrong taps and nudges cost a little of the label score, so look twice before you tap.

    Field guide

    Three finds make one label.

    1. Read the current clue and scan observable traits.
    2. Select a medallion, object, or record. A wrong look costs points, never a life.
    3. Finish all three finds to unlock the evidence-backed figure label.

    Keyboard: use Tab to move between medallions and Enter to inspect. Zoom is optional. Calm mode removes time scoring.
