Krono - History & Pop Culture Trivia

Hey everyone! I’m very excited to present “Krono - The Game of Ages” to you all! 🙈 What Krono is a history and pop culture trivia game where you try to place events and persons correct on a timeline. The main feature of Krono is the Daily Challenge. The daily challenge is free to play and – just like Wordle – only playable once per day. All players get the same set of questions. The next day it resets and a new challenge is available. There is also two other game modes, themed challenges around certain topics and a daily history digest where you have a short article (shouldn’t take more then 30 seconds to read) about an historic event or person. New digest published every day! 💁 Why Well. I’m born 1980. I had early access to PCs but also spent a lot of time with analog board games. I’m fascinated by history and what we can learn from it. And placing events on a timeline puts things into a perspective that sometimes can be mind boggling. After designing digital experiences for 20+ years Krono seemed like a sure thing to do, I should have done it earlier really. I also want build something that you can come back to everyday; but won't hog all your attention or have you spending your entire day with it. There’s enough doom scrolling, privacy intrusive ads and attention hoarding apps out there. I want Krono be something you come back to, spend a minute and maybe (hopefully!) learn something new. Put it away, go about your day and come back the next day (if you want to). 🚀 How Designed and built by a very small team (two of us). Designed by me and all questions and articles e t c are written by me. I’m no historian or a writer – just a happy amateur. I try to fact check everything twice or thrice. Krono is built in Swift/Swift UI by Andrey (https://andrey.se) and he’s done a brilliant job. Excellent partner in crime. Krono uses the beautiful typefaces from Rutherford at Mass-Driver.com. Krono are powered by Game Center for leaderboards and via App Clips you can try the daily challenge without downloading the app. Telemetry Deck (https://telemetrydeck.com) provides light-weight app analytics that’s not evil. I love it. 🤖Future Hopefully this is just the first step of many to come for Krono. There’s plan for an iPad version, more game modes, party mode, creating custom games and more fun ways of exploring history. 🥰 Now I’d LOVE it if you tried Krono – it would make my day! You can try it directly via the app clip by visiting https://kronotrivia.com or download it from the App Store. I’d appreciate ANY kind of feedback and your support both here on Product Hunt but also with a rating and/or review in the App Store. All these things helps a indie publisher. See you in the leaderboards! PS. My daily challenge score today was a measly 7. :/ Better luck tomorrow I guess! What’s your score?

Wow, this is one of the best historic games I saw, with pretty design! Definitely would play that one.

Hi hunters. Congratulations on the launch of your startup on the Product Hunt! 🚀 You have done an excellent job! What was the most challenging part of the process?

I’m a Krono fan and look forward to the reminder every day. It’s a nice break and there is often a surprise like ”I didn’t know that”. Every day something new, I like that. Krono is my only daily game and I intend to keep it that way! The Challenges is another favorite. Krono is awesome as it focus on adding to general knowledge!

Love the game and the ideas behind it! You get one chance per day, so you can only get low key addicted... 😉

I love learning, and to play and learn at the same time is a real treat. From the early days I have added Krono to my daily challenges of Solitaire and Sudoku, and it's by far my favorite. A great addition to the daily crossfit for my brain. Also; Krono is a great concept, but even more it's incredibly well implemented. Everything just ”feels” right and that's a rare sensation from an app as ”young” as this. It has my strongest recommendations.

Hey Daniel, great job! I will definitely be checking this out! #historynerd
