How it works

Explore history by playing.

  1. Tirage de trois cartes au début d'une manche 01

    Draw a puzzle

    Each puzzle has three cards to solve: an artwork, a monument, a battle, a great figure…

  2. Glisser une carte sur la frise chronologique pour la dater
    Placer une carte sur le globe pour répondre à Où
    02

    Answer: Where? and When?

    Place each card on the timeline, then find its spot on the globe.

  3. La collection — ton HistoryDex 03

    Collect and complete your HistoryDex

    Get it right: the card joins your collection and reveals its detailed history.

Two ways to play

From the most accessible to the most demanding.

Explorer To start out

Put the cards in order and sort them into the right region. Accessible, no pressure.

Historian For history buffs

Drop the date as precisely as you can on the timeline and pin the spot on the globe. Demanding, precise.

A card's detailed entry — Confucius
Learn by playing

Every card has a story to tell.
