Guess The Year | DoUKnowBall

Test your sports history knowledge by guessing the year famous moments happened. Covers NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, UFC, college football, soccer, and more.

Six things happened across the sports world, all in the same year, and you have to figure out which year it was. Guess The Year opens with one clue and lets you climb from there.

Each clue is a different sport, so a World Cup memory can rescue you when the hockey clue means nothing. The earlier you nail it, the bigger the score.

How to play Guess The Year

  • Read the first clue describing a famous sports moment.
  • Set your year with the arrow buttons. Single arrows move 1 year, doubles jump 10.
  • Hit the guess button when you're ready to commit.
  • A wrong guess automatically reveals the next clue, so every miss buys more information.
  • You can also reveal the next clue voluntarily, or give up to see the answer.

    • Rules to know

  • There are 6 clues per puzzle. Solving on clue 1 scores 1,000 points, then 800, 600, 400, 200 and 100.
  • Every wrong guess reveals the next clue and drops you a scoring tier.
  • The run ends after 6 wrong guesses, or immediately if you give up, both scoring 0.
  • Answers range from 1972 to 2026, and a fresh puzzle arrives every day.

    • Example walkthrough

    Picture this: clue one says a first baseman shattered a 37-year-old single-season home run record. You're thinking late 90s, so you guess 1997. Wrong, and clue two reveals the host nation won the World Cup on home soil.

    France at home, McGwire chasing Maris. That's 1998, and getting it on the second clue banks 800 points. Miss again and the year would still be gettable, just cheaper.

    Strategy tips

  • Triangulate across sports. One clue narrows the decade, another pins the exact year.
  • Use the 10-year jump buttons to get in the neighborhood before fine-tuning.
  • A near-miss guess isn't wasted. The clue it unlocks usually tells you which direction to move.
  • Anchor on world events you're sure of, like World Cups and Olympics, which only land in certain years.

    • Guess The Year FAQ

    Are all six clues really from the same year?

    Yes. Every clue in a puzzle describes something from that one year, across the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, soccer, college sports and more.

    What years can the answer be?

    Anywhere from 1972 to 2026. The picker won't let you guess outside that range.

    Should I guess early or reveal clues first?

    Guess. A wrong guess reveals the next clue anyway, so a smart early swing costs the same as skipping and might land 1,000.

    Is Guess The Year free to play?

    Yes. Guess The Year is free to play on DoUKnowBall, right in your browser. No download and no signup needed.
