Fight it out on the high seas with cannons on galleons, in this British history online learning game. A fun history game played out on the high seas against pirates. All the main events in British history are covered from 1485 to 1836.
Between 1485 and 1836, a type of ship called a Galleon dominated the high seas and that's the reason for its use in the game. On the titles screen you will find this part of British history divided into 6 periods. These are the Tudor Period between 1485-1601, the Early Stuart Period between 1603-1641, the English Civil War between 1642-1659, the Restoration between 1660-1687, the Glorious Revolution between 1688-1713 and the Georgian Period between 1714-1836. Each period has a button. Clicking any one of the buttons will take you to the quiz where you will be asked 9 questions in each level. Depending on the time period chosen, there are from 2 to 6 levels of 9 questions each.
In the game you are in charge of an English galleon and have come across a pirate ship. Click the Start button to be asked the first question. Get the question right and you fire your cannon at the pirate ship. Get the question wrong and they blast you. At the end of the level if you have scored more hits than the pirates, their ship will sink. If they score more than you, your ship will sink. At the end of each level you have the option to play again or try another period by moving back to the main menu. When you have completed all the levels in a period you can claim a certificate by clicking the certificate scroll button that will appear. This will give you your overall score for that completed period of history.
