When and where the plot actually happens.
Pick an epoch and continent. Every movie lands on the year its story takes place — not its release year. Hover for poster and rating. Click to open.
An AI companion that finds you what to watch next.
Ask for movies set in Victorian England, pirate-age Caribbean, or Cold War Berlin. The assistant picks films from the catalogue, remembers what you’ve already watched, and doesn’t repeat itself.
The world state behind each plot.
Genres tell you the mood; categories tell you the world. “Europe divided by the Iron Curtain.” “Air and sea routes replacing roads.” A thematic lens, one per film, curated per epoch and continent.
A short quiz unlocks achievements.
Some films have a quiz on plot and era context. Passing confirms you took something away from the movie and unlocks history-themed achievements.
See what you’ve actually explored.
Hours watched, epoch progress bars, top-5 countries, categories, genres, directors, decades. The dashboard is the scoreboard for how much history you’ve covered on screen.
10,000 movies. 11 epochs. 7 continents. 500+ categories.
Growing weekly. Each movie is manually placed in time and space, with a category and a quiz.
