What Is the Name 100 Women Challenge?
The Name 100 Women challenge is a speed quiz born on Twitch: name 100 notable real women before you run dry. It sounds easy until the clock starts. Most players stall around 40. Every answer you type is fact-checked live against Wikidata, so there is no bluffing your way to 100.
Where Did It Come From?
In March 2024, Twitch streamer QTCinderella challenged fellow creators to name 100 women before the end of Women's History Month. Streamers like Ludwig struggled on camera, the clips flooded TikTok and YouTube, and in 2026 web-game versions with timers and leaderboards made it go viral all over again.

FAQ
Do fictional characters count?
No, real people only. Characters from film, TV, and books will not be accepted.

Finishing at all beats most players. Anything under 10 minutes is strong, and the known record is around 2:02.
Do stage names count?
Yes. Lady Gaga works, and the game dedupes by identity so a stage name and a legal name count as one person.
Is it free?
Yes, free, no sign-up. Just start typing and race the clock.
