Inspiration

I wanted to make a learning game that’s fun, colorful, and rewarding — something kids would actually want to play, while still teaching them important school subjects. Often times kids have no incentive to learn, and I wanted to solve that problem.

How it Works

Answering correctly earns you chrono shards, which you can spend on fun titles. Wrong answers cost chrono shards. Questions are organized into fun themes like Theatrical Riddles, Chemistry, and Adventure Quests. When the game starts, you enter your name and see the timeline of eras. At first, only Ancient Egypt is unlocked.

Gameplay: I’ll click it to start my miniquest — each miniquest has 10 multiple-choice questions. If I get one right, I get a cheerful ‘Correct!’ message. If I get one wrong… uh-oh! I lose a shard. This keeps me on my toes! After finishing a miniquest, I earn shards and can unlock more eras."
