HISTORY HAS NEVER BEEN THIS GRIPPING
Millions of people love history. But piecing it all together yourself is a grind: what actually matters? Where do you even start? And dry text with a few archaeological sketches won't build a world in your head.
HistoryBytes does. Every season is fully illustrated and pulls you into its own era. Forget dry dates and textbook boredom: experience how people in past eras really thought, feared, fought and lived. Suddenly, learning history is fun.
7 SEASONS – A NEW ONE EVERY MONTH
Emperors of Rome, Viking Sagas, Echoes of Olympus, Pharaohs of Egypt, Whispers of the Samurai, Tales of Chivalry and World War II. Each with 200+ episodes and over 10 hours of play. And every new season is free for everyone for its launch week.
Ancient Rome and its emperors, Vikings, Greek mythology, ancient Egypt and the pharaohs, Samurai Japan, medieval knights and the Second World War: world history as a quiz adventure, era by era.
WHAT AWAITS YOU
Julius Caesar and the Ides of March, Cleopatra, Nero and the burning of Rome. Viking raids, Ragnar and the discovery of America. Zeus, Achilles and the Trojan War. Ramesses, Tutankhamun and the pyramids of Giza. Samurai, shoguns and the way of the warrior. Knights, crusades and the castles of the Middle Ages. Normandy, Stalingrad, El Alamein and the Pacific. Every episode tells a real story, with people, places and events you then keep as cards in your collection.
