Do you think you know history? Then prove it in Date Duel. In Date Duel, you are given a starting event. The starting event gives a description of the historical event along with the date and year it occurred. You then get your new event to compare to the starting event. Now you have to think fast. Did the new event happen before or after the starting event? You only have 15 seconds to decide. If your'e wrong, it's game over. If you get it right, you move on to the next question. Every three questions you start a new round with a new starting event. There are over 1,200 different historical events from the past 2,000 years to keep you guessing if it's before or after the starting event. When your game ends, you can see in the Game Center leaderboard to see how you stack up against other history nerds. No cost to download, minimal ads (only at the end of a game), and hours of fun to see how you measure against your friends. At the end of your game, you can review all the questions in your game. That way you will know the correct answer for next time to help move up the leaderboard.
