Name Drop

The New Yorker's trivia game about notable people, published every weekday. Up to six biographical clues are revealed one at a time, starting obscure and growing more obvious, and the aim is to name the writer, musician, scientist, athlete or other figure using as few clues as possible. Themed packs and past quizzes remain playable.
