How the archive works

Every daily puzzle that has ever gone live stays playable. The archive is a simple list of those days: pick one, play its five moments, see your score. It is the same code and the same timeline as the daily — the only difference is consequence. Archive runs never advance your streak, never break it, and never replace your daily result.

That makes the archive the honest answer to two feelings every daily game creates: the guilt of a broken streak, and the itch of wanting another go. It is also the best practice mode in the game, because the puzzles are real dailies rather than random practice moments. If you start playing Gazillion partway through a season, the archive means you did not miss the beginning.

The season calendar

Below is the calendar for the current season. Each tile is one daily puzzle, numbered from the first day of the season. Tiles you have completed are ticked; today's puzzle is highlighted; future puzzles stay locked and spoiler-free. The calendar is rendered from the game's own schedule data, so it always matches the game.

If a tile is clickable, it means that day has been published. Pressing it takes you to the game, where the Archive screen opens the puzzle. Days before launch are locked until the season begins.

Why catch up at all?

Three reasons. Practice: archived dailies are the best training set in the game — real puzzles, real difficulty mix. The passport: archived runs can still help you build familiarity with eras you avoid in the daily, because you can pick a day that leans into a theme. Completionism: the archive is a record of the season. Watching the ticked tiles fill up is its own small reward.

The Gazillion game is one attempt a day; the archive is the practice room. If you are new, the archive is also a good first stop. Play a few older puzzles to learn the controls without spending today's one attempt, then come back to the daily with a feel for the range you should draw. The rules page covers the mechanics; the archive covers the muscle memory.

Archive vs daily vs unlimited

The four modes share a timeline and differ only in what they do to your progress. Archive replays published days; Unlimited is endless practice with lives; Time Machine is endless practice filtered by era. Only the daily counts toward your streak.

Which mode does what. All four are free; none of them has ads.

Pick a day

Everything in the calendar is one click away from the game. If you are here for today's puzzle instead, play today's five; if you want the rules first, read how to play; if the season has not started yet, the game overview explains what is coming.

The archive is the reason a missed day never really stings in Gazillion. The streak is a nudge, not a form of grief.

Frequently asked questions

Does replaying the archive affect my streak?

No. Archive runs never change your daily streak, either up or down. Only the daily puzzle itself counts, once per local day.

Can I play a future day before it is published?

No. Future days stay locked until their local date arrives, so the daily is never spoiled by the calendar.

How many puzzles are in the archive?

A season has 365 daily puzzles, and the calendar shows every day in it. Published days are playable; future days are locked.

Where does the calendar data come from?

From the game's own season data on gazillion.games. The calendar is rendered from the same schedule the game uses, so the two cannot disagree.

Gazillion is an original daily history game inspired by the daily-puzzle genre. It is not affiliated with any other game, site or company.
