How the Beyoncé milestones timeline works

Every card is a moment from Beyoncé's career, from her years in a girl group to her solo albums, films, tours, awards and big live performances. Under each one you'll find a detail such as the singles on a record or where a show took place. Order them by the year each happened. You start with a single milestone dated on the line. For each card that follows, find the gap where it fits. Correct placements reveal the year; incorrect ones still move the card to its right place and burn one of your three lives.

The early cards come from her group days, so the order of their albums and hits sets up the opening stretch. After that, solo albums form the spine, with surprise releases and visual albums mixed in among them. Grammy records appear more than once, as do halftime and festival headline sets, so the detail line is what separates them. Family events and film roles are easier to forget, and her long gaps between albums mean neighboring cards can be several years apart.

Want a longer game? On the deck tree you can tick this deck alongside any other one measured in release years and dates, and they shuffle into a single timeline together.
