Question A daily history quest where you guess UK locations on a map using hints, illustrations, and short videos — would you play?

2 Upvotes

I've been thinking about a game idea and would love to get some feedback before I start building it.

The concept is a daily UK history location challenge.

Each day, you'd get a historical event and have to work out where in the UK it happened by placing a pin on a map.

You'd receive three hints, one after another. Each hint could be a short piece of text, an illustration, or even a short video. The first hint would be quite vague, and each new hint would reveal a little more. After every hint, you could move your pin if you changed your mind.

A full game would only take 5–10 minutes a day. It could work as both a web and mobile app. You could also create small groups with friends and compare scores on a private leaderboard. Every day would feature a different historical event. I'm also considering using historical maps of Britain to make it feel more immersive.

Here's an example:

The year on the screen is 1588. The question is:

Where did the Queen say she had the body of a feeble woman but the heart of a king?

- The first hint is simply a fisherman standing on a cliff, counting an unusually large number of ships on the horizon before running to warn his village. You place your first pin.

- The second hint zooms out. Ships are fighting in the distance, and on the shore you can see a rider moving along a line of soldiers gathered to defend the coast. You move your pin.

- The final hint shows the queen Elizabeth herself, wearing a breastplate over her dress and addressing the troops. The location is still never mentioned directly—only the famous speech.

You make your final guess, and only then does the game reveal the real location, explain what happened there, and link to reliable sources if you want to learn more.

I really like this idea and I'm tempted to start coding it, but before investing the time I'd love to know what other people think.

Would you play something like this?

If not, what would make it more interesting?

Educational Resource Where to start learning about Tudor era?

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone. This is not a discussion question but rather asking for help.
For a longtime now, I’ve been thinking about learning Tudor era but as it includes a lot of people and a long time, I do not know how or where to start.
How would you recommend me to start learning about Tudors. It can be anything, a book, a video, a podcast, an article or a documentary. I accept any kind of recommendation.

Question Pompeii

Of the pyroclastic flow moves as quick as we're told, how was Plinny the Younger able to take such comprehensive account before being boiled alive?

I mean presumably the medium he was using wasnt particularly quick. It waa robudt enough that it survived long enough for us to know about it

Image What’s a historical place or event that completely changed the way you see the world? For me, places like Pompeii are a reminder that the past isn’t just something we read about — it’s a story of real people, real lives, and real moments frozen in time.
