I·What it is

History is often learnt as a list of dates. Play with History offers short games, under ten minutes each, built around great historical figures such as Einstein, Curie and Darwin. Chrono Memory asks you to match cards; Chrono Quiz tests you on a figure’s life, quotes and surprising anecdotes; Chrono Party chains the games into one session. It belongs to Chat with History, where you can also talk with these figures through an AI that cites its sources. For curious minds of every age.
