Red Day Match

Red Day Match is the holiday-recognition game · a public holiday is shown and you match it to its correct date, religion, or country of observance. The game covers Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, and Secular holidays so a single run takes you across the world's major calendars · the same way an international diplomat or a logistics planner has to keep track of which dates pause business in which countries.

Three round types. Date-match rounds give you a holiday and you pick the correct date (or month, for lunar holidays whose Gregorian date shifts). Religion-match rounds give you a holiday and you pick the tradition it belongs to. Country-match rounds give you a holiday and you pick the country that observes it as a public holiday (often more than one, sometimes just one). The three angles cover the practical questions you'd actually want answered.

Filter by tradition. The default mode mixes all traditions for a polymath drill. Toggle to a single religion · Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, or Secular only · and the pool narrows to that subset. Useful for focused drilling, or if you're learning about a tradition that isn't your own.

Why holidays are worth knowing. Holidays are the cultural skeletons of the year · they encode what each civilisation chose to mark, mourn, celebrate, or repeat. Knowing them is part of cultural literacy (you can read a Tolstoy novel more easily if you know what Easter Monday is), part of practical international competence (you don't try to schedule a video call during Eid al-Fitr if the other end is in Cairo), and part of self-understanding (knowing where your own calendar comes from). The game is a lightweight way to fill in the gaps.
