History Quest

What History Quest is

History Quest is a free quiz game for learning about history and checking what you know. Its current release has over 4,000 multiple-choice questions across six study programs, each arranged into eight units. The programs cover Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, the British Middle Ages, the British Empire, Christian Europe, and the Spanish Empire. Players can choose History Quest mode, which scores speed and difficulty across a program, or Knowledge Medal mode, which concentrates on one era. Units include recommended short readings, and Knowledge Medal divisions have reading assignments. Once the app and books are downloaded to a tablet or laptop, the game can be used without internet access. Players can email an encoded progress report to friends or instructors, post scores on topic leaderboards, or use a group name to view a private leaderboard. Heritage History describes the game as suitable for teens, young adults, homeschoolers, independent learners, and history enthusiasts of any age. It is available on Android and Windows; donations to Heritage History are optional.
