Any online apps to learn history/ geography/ economics (serious stuff)? At some point i ran into this game:
http://bramus.github.io/mercator-puzzle-redux/
...and now I'm freaked out by the fact that i know where 95% of the countries in the world are, and what their shape is. Does anyone know such games for learning history, economics... or whatever other adult topics like that? :) |
But none of this is actually going to teach you the skill of inquiry and skeptically reading different competing historical narratives. You kinda do need a class for that. A friend of mine is building a startup to make running one easier: https://www.beaglelearning.com/

I was searching for something like that too, but I didn't found anything interesting. Only usual repeat-until-you-remember style games, like famous now duolingo. No real games using what you're trying to learn as main mechanic to encourage learning :(
