Project Details

TimeWise is an innovative quiz app that transforms history into an exciting and interactive challenge. It tests players’ knowledge by asking them to place historical events before, after, or between specific time spans. The app mixes education and entertainment with a competitive edge that makes learning history feel like a game night. Users can compete in solo challenges, engage in head-to-head duels, or participate in group tournaments. With scalable difficulty, a variety of categories, and engaging social features like live chat and Facebook integration, TimeWise delivers both knowledge and fun in one sleek platform.
