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 three 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, private leagues for a group of friends and an archive of past days (played for no points) sit around the daily game, along with a weekly Survival mode of timed rounds that resets each Wednesday. It is free in the browser with ads and needs no account; a free account only keeps your progress across devices. A paid plan with unlimited Survival is announced but not out yet.
