Three public posts, not a press tour

Gameplay videos of the daily investing game

The public pages at erstwhile.io do not link a channel. These three posts are what I could verify on 11 November 2026. They show the same loop: a headline, chips, year 2, year 4, and an S&P comparison.

Watch a real run

What the long video is useful for

Rangsk reads a headline, names an era, places chips, and rebalances at the two published decision years. He says out loud that the money is pretend and the prices are historic. He also says he locked the era too early. I take the method from the video and I do not reprint the holdings or the final figures. Those belong to that one past puzzle.

The picture YouTube uses as a poster shows that puzzle’s options. I am not putting that poster on this page. Press play if you want his run; the frame loads only after the click.

The shorter posts

Joe Tangeman’s Short from 27 October 2026 is a result clip, a minute and fifty-three seconds, 213 views when checked. Eamonn Sharpson’s reel from 21 October says the game asked him to try it: 9 likes and 6 comments. I link both and I do not embed them, because a result clip is an answer to a specific day.

Joe Tangeman’s Short and Eamonn Sharpson’s reel are the posts. A name that shows up in older keyword notes, Kenny Haller, did not resolve to an Erstwhile video in a YouTube search on the same day. I am leaving that name off the list.

Questions

Is there an official channel?

Not on the five public pages. An Instagram account using the game’s name shows up in search and is not linked from those pages, so I do not call it official.

Will you add more?

Yes, when a post has a URL I can open. I will not pad the list.
