## What is Herodotus History Challenge?

Herodotus History Challenge is a history quiz that teaches as you play. Every question comes with a short explanation, so a wrong answer is never wasted.

1,700+ questions. 17 eras. 10 levels each. No timer.

PICK YOUR ERA
World: Ancient World, Modern World, World War II
Europe: Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, Medieval World, Early Modern Europe, History of Germany, Medieval and Modern Russia

LEARN, DON'T JUST GUESS
Each question has four options and one explanation. Answer correctly and you earn a coin. Answer wrong and you read why, then move on. Answer order is shuffled every attempt.

PROGRESS THAT MEANS SOMETHING
Levels unlock as you answer correctly. Earn stars per level and a crown for a perfect 10/10. The Historian Profile tracks best answers, perfect scores, and per-era progress, and awards achievements such as Perfect Chronicle and Master of an Era.

HINTS AND HEARTS
Stuck? Spend 2 coins to remove a wrong option, up to twice per question. Hearts keep you in the game: you lose one after three wrong answers, and you earn them back by hitting answer milestones, watching an optional ad, or spending coins.
