HistoryQ

What HistoryQ is

HistoryQ is a daily historical-figure guessing game for iPhone and iPad. Each day brings a new figure and story. Players use clues and guess feedback to narrow down the answer by era, country, role, field, and gender. Solving the mystery unlocks the figure’s story, while a growing archive provides access to stories and supported earlier puzzles.

The app has a Free plan at no cost. Optional rewarded ads can unlock selected stories or Archive Passes. A one-time HistoryQ Premium Pack unlocks available archive puzzles and full historical stories in supported app versions; future premium content is included only while the app and content service are maintained. No sign-up is required to begin. The current release automatically creates a private player profile and AWS-backed identifier for cloud backup.

HistoryQ says it does not sell personal information and describes gameplay analytics as pseudonymous. Its policy says per-run analytics, feedback comments, and ratings are kept for about 24 months. An in-app deletion flow clears local gameplay and feedback data, the cloud backup, and the automatic cloud identity. The app identifies Apple StoreKit, AWS Cognito and cloud services, Google AdMob, and Google User Messaging Platform as services it uses.

Who it suits

HistoryQ suits people who want a short daily puzzle about historical figures, with a story to read after solving. Its archive and progress tracking also suit players who want to revisit supported puzzles and stories.

Limits
