How to play

Pick a pioneer. Each round shows 4 real women inventors and scientists with their field, and 4 creations with a small icon.
Make the pair. Tap a pioneer, then her creation, or the other way round. A right pair locks in and tells her story.
Watch your lives. A wrong pair costs one of 3 lives for the whole run, and gives a hint about her field.
Score. 100 points per right pair, +100 for a round with no mistake. 5 rounds, 2,500 points at most.

Quick tips

Start with the ones you know. Lock in the pairs you're sure of first. The last ones get easier by elimination.
Read the field. "Chemist", "Astronomer" or "Software engineer" under each name narrows it down a lot.
