Description

Name 100 Women began as a viral social-media dare and became a cultural moment — and this is the definitive way to play it. The challenge sounds easy: name 100 women, any real and notable women you can think of, before the timer gets the better of you. Scientists, writers, athletes, activists, queens, artists, founders, pop icons — they all count. The only catch is that they have to be real. Every name you type is validated live against a structured database of tens of thousands of notable women drawn from Wikidata, so there's no bluffing your way to a high score.

As you play, the game keeps a running tally and a ticking clock, turning a simple memory test into a genuine race against yourself. You'll fly through the first twenty, slow down in the forties, and feel the real challenge set in as you push toward the full hundred. Each woman you name joins an honor roll you can scroll through afterward — who she was and why she mattered — so it doubles as a small, surprising history lesson.

When your run ends, you get a polished, shareable battle report: your score, your time, and the women you named, ready to post and pass to friends. Then watch them try to beat you. Whether you're here for the trivia, the competition, or to celebrate the women the textbooks skip, Name 100 Women turns "can you name 100 women?" into a game you'll replay until you finally hit 100.
