Why are school buses yellow? Why is the save icon a floppy disk? Why do we say "OK"?
You scroll, and you come out understanding more of the world. Storytrace starts from something you already know — an object, a word, a habit — and goes back until it finds where it came from. Every case ends on THE TRACE: the one line that changes how you see the thing you looked at this morning.
SCROLLING, EXCEPT YOU COME OUT KNOWING SOMETHING
Same thumb, same ten minutes, different thing left at the end of them. A story takes about a minute — a commute, a queue, a coffee — and you close it in one sitting. Then you have something to say at dinner.
EVERY ANSWER COMES WITH THE WHY — RIGHT OR WRONG
Most quiz apps tell you "Correct!" and move on. That teaches nothing: you never find out whether you were right for the right reason. Here, every question explains itself — the ones you get right included.
A ROUND EVERY DAY
Four quiz games and a fresh daily round: which came first, true or false, the bigger number, the odd one out. Your best round is kept, and it is yours to beat.
WHAT YOU KEEP
Each closed case leaves a card in your collection, and a trace you can retell. Questions come back on a spaced schedule — tonight, then three days, then a week, then three weeks — so what you scrolled past in March is still yours in June.
BUILT AGAINST THE HABITS OF THE GENRE
No ads, not even for ourselves. No account to create, ever. The whole archive is open from the first minute: no case is ever locked away from you. And being wrong never costs you anything, on any tier.
HOW THE FREE TIER WORKS
Five hearts a day. One heart opens a story, and you read it whole; re-reading is free, always. Being wrong costs nothing at all — the whole point of this app is that you are wrong, and then you know why. The daily round is free every day. Extra rounds are a wager rather than a toll: score 9 out of 10 or better and they cost nothing, below that they cost one heart. Hearts come back with the new day, and running out never interrupts the story you are reading.
STORYTRACE UNLIMITED
Unlimited hearts. Scroll the whole archive back to back, with nothing between you and the next story, and every quiz round free whatever you score.
