Field notes
The Daily Five interface shows five object slots, a 5,000-point maximum, and a collection counter marked “0 of 45 discovered.” Players can reveal clues, while wrong guesses reduce the available points by half. Additional links lead to event-ordering and time-and-place modes. The page labels the museum collection CC0 · Open Access, but the captured object viewer displayed a scan-loading error.
