History games for students

A history game students can reason through.

EraGuessr works as a short, visual history activity: students inspect a scene, make a map guess, estimate the date, and review the explanation.

Visual reasoning

Players infer from what they see instead of only recalling names and dates.

Short feedback loop

Each round reveals the correct location, date, score, and a compact historical explanation.

Low setup

The MVP plays in a browser with no player accounts required for quick practice.
