The Grave Trail

Trace a life. Name the figure.

FILE NO. 0001

Case File: How To Play

Every round pins two locations on the map — where a historical figure was born (green) and where they died (red), joined by a dotted route. Your job: name the figure.

The Map

Green pin = birthplace    Red pin = deathplace. In some modes the city and country names are printed right on the cards below the map; in others they're redacted until you answer.

Typing an Answer

Start typing and matching names pop up below the box — click one or keep typing and hit Enter. If you get stuck, Give Up reveals the answer and moves on without matching wrong on purpose.

Clues

On every mode except Legendary, Reveal a Clue gives you the figure's profession and century for free — it doesn't cost you anything, use it whenever you like.

Streak counts consecutive correct answers in a row — one miss resets it to zero. Solved tracks your total correct answers out of every round played this session.
