You know the lives of celebrities. You know when their movies came out, when they peaked in the music business, or when they served in office. But do you remember what year they died? That's a tough one, even for history buffs. When I played my first game of When They Died, I could recall learning about each celebrity's death, but I couldn't place the year. I was close but missed the mark for each of them.
For each famous person presented, you move a slider to guess what year they died. They all died between 1950 and today, and there are five people in each game. A perfect guess will get you 1000 points, and getting within 15 years will give you some points. I ended up with 3732 in my first game, and unlocked a few "achievements" at the end. One of them was called Speed Demon, because I gave answers in a hurry so I could decide whether this game was worth sharing. Try it yourself, and let me know if I was right. -via Nag on the Lake

I think it could be a lot more interesting if they provided you with the date of birth before you guess. Or just have people guess age of death rather than the year. I could also use a quick bio... I don't always recognize minor celebrities by name, but name + "Founder of Rolling Stones" might help... It would make it more interesting, anyhow.

I wonder if there is a way to add people that are still alive and to get a penatly for thinking they were dead? This had come up in conversations recently resulting in Google searches.
