This interactive, multimodal learning experience combines the latest in mobile entertainment with the power of narrative design—bringing the pages of history to life.
History Adventures foregrounds the power of story, narrativizing the experiences of people who lived in past centuries—in different epochs and locations around the globe.

And via the empathy inspired by quality storytelling, students will feel the life or death stakes of decisions made in the moment.
