HistoriaQuest
Sort the day's inventions, figures and events into the order they came.
Every day: A new set of history rounds each day, the same for everyone: sort inventions, historical figures and events into chronological order, and pick out the earliest born or shortest lived from a group. New puzzle: Once a day; the site does not state the time.
HistoriaQuest is a daily history game about the people, events and inventions that shaped the world. Each day brings a handful of rounds: drag cards into chronological order, or pick which figure was born first or lived the shortest life, with points, a streak bonus and a leaderboard.
About HistoriaQuest
HistoriaQuest belongs to a small family of daily quiz games from one developer, alongside games about world geography, American states and the periodic table. Its subject is history: inventions, events and the great figures behind them, with data drawn mainly from Wikipedia and other public sources.
The daily puzzle is made of several rounds. Timeline rounds give you a row of cards, inventions, historical figures, events or a mix, to drag into chronological order; when you submit, the game tells you how many are in the right position. Other rounds ask a single question about a group, such as who was born earliest, who died first or who lived the shortest life. A wildcard round changes its rule from day to day.
Each day you play builds a streak that boosts your points by 2 percent a day, up to 25 percent, and every seven days in a row earns a shield that protects the streak for one missed day. A leaderboard, leagues and an archive of past puzzles sit around the daily game, along with a weekly Survival mode. It is free in the browser with ads.
How to play HistoriaQuest
- Open the day's puzzle and start the first round.
- In a timeline round, drag the cards into chronological order and submit.
- Read how many cards are in the right place, and learn from the order shown.
- In a single-question round, pick the figure that fits, such as the one born earliest.
- Finish all the rounds to bank your score, and come back the next day to grow your streak.
Tips
- Anchor each timeline on the one card you are surest of, then place the others around it.
- Birth year and age at death are different questions: someone born late can still have died early.
- Play daily: the streak bonus adds up to 25 percent to your points.
