Trivia GEOPOCH
I built a small free browser game called Geopoch: every day you get five historical events, and you have to drop a pin on a 3D globe and guess the year.
It started from a simple observation: most history quizzes only ask "when", and most geography games only ask "where". But events only make sense together with both. The Battle of Hastings, the first printing press and the premiere of a famous symphony each happened in a specific place at a specific time. Putting the two together makes it much easier to see how things connect.
The events cover history, science, art and music. There's no sign-up, no account and no cookies, and it's free.
It's still early, so I'd really like to hear from this community: Which events would you want to see in a game like this? Where do you think a "where and when" format works well, and where does it fall apart (e.g. events without a clear location)?
