Nothing matches that yet. Try a word like “states”, “Disney” or “hard”.
Did the telephone come before the light bulb? Was the stethoscope invented before photography? This which came first inventions game puts two famous inventions side by side and asks you to pick the older one. It covers four centuries of breakthroughs, from the telescope and the steam engine to the airplane, the ATM and the iPhone, so history buffs and gadget fans alike will find plenty to argue about.
Pinning a single date on an invention can be tricky, since many ideas were tinkered with for years before they took off. Each item here is tied to one well-documented milestone, such as a famous patent, a first flight, a public demo or the first time a product went on sale, and the name tells you which one. Every invention has its own year, so there are never any ties, and the list mixes world-changing machines with everyday objects you use without a second thought.
Each round shows one invention with its year revealed and a second invention with its year hidden. Tap the one you think came first, then see the real dates. Get it right and the hidden invention becomes your new anchor, keeping your streak alive, while one wrong pick ends the run. Think about what each invention needed to exist, like electricity, engines or computer chips, and you will often find the answer.
