This was pretty fun, and one of the more interesting takes on the theme I've seen

my historical knowledge was definitely lacking the only ones I remember was napoleon and that adrian carton guy from a youtube video I watched LOL. a good quiz game nonetheless, maybe this would be a good kahoot typa game for a history class hmmmmm

Hello ! Thank you for your comment !

Yes, it is more centered on what I learnt. That's why I let the door open for easy contributions.

Because when I tried to find some American ones with some weird lifetime, I could not fond much.


And yes, the kahoot type is what I had in mind, and maybe another guessr if I broad the scope as an online game.

I'll take a break this week and come back with the possibility for a roadmap on this game, because it could be a fun side project.

Love the idea of a history based guessr kind of game, and a great way to learn about historical figures, especially as the game gives you a chronology of the main events related to that person. Gameplay-wise, I feel like the game could gain in being a bit more simplified with only the years being given as it’s hard enough of a challenge and you will never calculate the exact number of days (+ many dates only have the year or month anyway).

Hello ! Thanks for the feedback !
Yeah, I planned to have a button to only provide the years, just to simplify the choices provided for the user (but never got the chance to finish it).

As for only keeping the year, I prefer to keep that option in check, and maybe just remove the other entries if this is impossible to guess a month or day. Just to give the history nerds a bone B) .
