How this works

Two halves. Places to keep what happened — a wedding, someone you have lost, the people and pets they involve — and a memory game that tests how much of something you actually remember. What you make decides which half it belongs to.

Occasionread, not quizzed

A dated thing people attend - a wedding, a reception, a graduation.

Make one when people need somewhere to go: it carries the date, who it is about, a link you can send, and a wall guests can post photos and messages to.

Memorialread, not quizzed

A place to remember someone who has died.

Make one to keep their story and the things worth knowing about them, with room for the people who knew them to add their own. It is read, never quizzed.

See memorials Make one

Volumeread, not quizzed

Whoever or whatever an occasion is about - a person, a pet, a building.

Make one once and it turns up wherever they appear: link it to an occasion and their story and facts arrive with it, instead of being retyped for each event.

Experiencequizzed

A moment in history, told from the inside - the control room at 1:23 AM, the capsule after the bang.

Make one for something to read through and then be tested on. Unlike an occasion, it is not a date anybody attends.

Subjectquizzed

Anything the memory game can quiz you on.

Anything that is not an occasion, memorial or volume is a subject. It is decided by exclusion rather than by a tag, which is why most carry no category at all.

How they fit together

A volume is who an occasion is about. Link one to an occasion and their story and facts appear on it, so a bride written down once shows up on the wedding, the reception and the anniversary without being retyped.
Guests add to occasions and memorials. An occasion has a wall for photos and messages; a memorial has room for the people who knew them to add their own memories.
The game only serves experiences and subjects. Occasions, memorials and volumes are there to be read, and are deliberately kept out of the rotation — being quizzed on somebody's memorial is not what anybody wants.
Nothing is public until you ask. What you make is yours, you can invite people by email, and a public link needs an admin to approve it.

Still not sure which one you want? Make an occasion if it has a date, a memorial if it is about someone you have lost, and a subject if you mostly want to be quizzed on it.
