A time-travelling history investigation

Time Detectives: Legacies of Civilisations

Ancient artifacts are vanishing across history. As a time-travelling detective, you'll visit twenty-two civilisations, examine real evidence, and reason your way to the truth β€” one case at a time.

Your mission

Each case drops you into a moment in history where an artifact β€” or the true story behind it β€” has gone missing. You'll gather evidence, weigh conflicting accounts, and make a judgement call. How you reason matters more than getting lucky.

  • Investigate civilisations from Ancient Mesopotamia to the Melaka Sultanate
  • Practise real historical thinking skills: sourcing, corroboration, close reading, and more
  • Earn points for sound reasoning, and add a legacy artifact to your trophy cabinet for every case you solve perfectly
