Accurate and Fair
Questions follow the best-known versions of each myth, for example Homer for the Odyssey and the Prose Edda for Norse tales, and explanations give Roman names next to Greek ones where it helps. The world category adds King Arthur, Gilgamesh, Anansi, the Monkey King and Māui. It is a good fit for history lessons and fans of Percy Jackson or God of War.
The right answer stays on the server until you have answered, so nobody can peek, and both players always face the same question. Spotted a mistake? Use the feedback link in the footer and we will fix it.
