The history quiz with a timeline When did it happen?

Quiztoria is a free history quiz for Android in which you put historical events in the right order on a timeline. The app contains 1,500 event cards from 9 categories, from prehistory to the 21st century, plus a Daily Challenge in four modes.

You get a card with an event, for example “Johannes Gutenberg Invents the Printing Press”, and tap the spot on the timeline where it belongs. The newest events are at the top, the oldest at the bottom. If you are right, the year is revealed and your timeline grows; if you are wrong, you lose a life. You can play a test round right here on this page.

Yes. You start with 250 free cards and unlock more for free by playing every day (at 3, 5, 10, 15 and 20+ day streaks). Optional extras are card packs with 100, 250 or 500 cards and a Premium subscription with all cards and no automatic ads. The free version is funded by ads.

Quiztoria is currently available for Android on Google Play. A version for iPhone and iPad is being prepared for the App Store.

In free play you choose the categories, epochs, topics and knowledge level yourself. The Daily Challenge offers four modes: Classic (20 cards, 3 lives), Time Rush (2 minutes, as many cards as possible), Blind Run (10 cards with no feedback until the end) and Expert (20 cards without years on the timeline). On top of that, Daily Discovery brings 5 new cards every day.

The 1,500 cards are spread across 9 categories: Society & Religion, Arts & Culture, Europe, Curiosities, Politics & War, Science & Technology, Austria, Exploration and Sports. In time they span 7 epochs, from prehistory (the control of fire around one million years ago) to the 21st century.

You choose between 5 knowledge levels, from “Fundamentals” (the most important events in world history) to “Everything”. Jokers and assists such as years shown on the timeline make it easier to get started. That makes Quiztoria a good fit for history fans and for anyone who wants to train their general knowledge on the side.

In 6 languages: German, English, Spanish, French, Portuguese and Italian. All cards, background texts and menus are translated, and the Wikipedia links open the article in your language when one exists.

You do not need an account: your progress, statistics and achievements are stored only on your device. The cards are built into the app. You need an internet connection for ad videos, purchases and the Wikipedia links.

Every card has a background text and, where available, a link to the matching Wikipedia article. For very old events the years are often estimates, and some cards are based on traditions or legends. Quiztoria is a game, not a reference work.

Quiztoria is a solo project by an independent developer. The app grew out of a personal interest in history and is continuously being developed further. Questions and feedback are welcome at developer.tk@outlook.com.
