Description

Name 100 Women Challenge is a fast-paced, viral memory web game that challenges players to list 100 real, notable women before the clock runs out. Inspired by a popular pop-culture memory test, the game highlights a common cognitive bias: while many can easily list male historical figures, recalling female counterparts often proves challenging. This game turns the concept into an interactive, fun, and educational experience.

Key features include a live timer, real-time spelling-tolerant name verification (ensuring immediate verification of historical figures, celebrities, scientists, athletes, and politicians), detailed score tracking, and instant game-over summaries that categorize correct answers by field and region. It is completely free, client-side, mobile-friendly, and requires no registration. Test your knowledge, celebrate extraordinary women across history, and share your score to challenge your friends!
