Overview

What Elimina8 is

In Elimina8, you face a set of eight world events drawn from general knowledge. Your task is to remove every event except the one that happened first in history. Each selection gives you feedback: a green highlight confirms a correct elimination, while a red highlight signals that you have chosen the earliest event, which ends the round immediately. The game tests your historical awareness and deductive reasoning as you work to identify the oldest event without ever selecting it. The game is free and offers unlimited plays, so you can keep playing as often as you like.

Getting started

How to play

You are presented with a list of eight world events. Choose one event to eliminate. If it is not the earliest, it is removed and you see a green confirmation. If you pick the earliest, you lose the round. Repeat this process until only one event remains. The earliest event is defined by its year; when two events share the same year, the one that appears first alphabetically is considered earlier. The game is free and offers unlimited plays, so you can try again after any loss.

Practical help

Tips

  1. Focus on the years first; if you know the approximate dates, you can quickly identify which events are definitely not the oldest.
  2. When two events share the same year, remember that alphabetical order breaks the tie—so the event starting with an earlier letter is considered earlier.
  3. Eliminate events you are most confident about first to narrow down the field without risking a loss.
Quick answers

Common questions

What happens if I select the earliest event?

Selecting the earliest event results in an immediate loss, because the earliest event must remain until the end. The game ends and you can start a new round.

How is the earliest event determined when two events have the same year?

If two events share the same year, the one that comes first alphabetically is considered the earliest. This tie-breaker applies only to events with identical years.

Is there any cost to play Elimina8?

No, Elimina8 is free to play with unlimited plays. You can attempt as many rounds as you like without any restrictions.
