These packs aren't a history exam. Nobody asks for the date of a treaty. They're the stories: the odd jobs at court, the pets in the White House, the outlaws' nicknames and what the pharaohs did with their teeth.
What the packs cover
US PresidentsThe presidents and the people around them: first ladies, pets, nicknames, strange White House habits and the moments that made each term.
British RoyalsA thousand years of kings and queens, their castles, coronations, scandals and the jewels.
The Wild WestGunfighters and lawmen, cattle drives and gold rushes. Then how Hollywood rewrote all of it.
Ancient EgyptPyramids, pharaohs and mummies, plus daily life by the Nile: what people ate, wore and believed.
Empires & World LeadersThe empires that ran the world and the people who ran them.
More History stories packs are on the way. Coming soon packs have a Request it button on the Themed Trivia page.
