Voices from the field

The whole art of war consists of guessing at what is on the other side of the hill.

For schools, homeschools and families

Bring the battlefield to your classroom, or your kitchen table

History lands harder when students command it instead of skimming a chapter. Turn any of the 40 battles into a shared lesson: the class explores the same events, hears the same narration, and settles it on one quiz leaderboard. It's history they remember because they played it. Teachers and homeschooling families use it the same way, one shared lesson the whole group remembers.

Classroom mode

Why teachers use it

Engagement that lastsStudents give the orders, so the history sticks. They remember it because they lived it, not because they revised it.

Fits your curriculum40 battles across 7 eras, from Antiquity to WWII, mapping onto what you already teach.

One shared lessonThe whole class explores the same battle, hears the same narration and competes on a single quiz leaderboard.

Safe & freeThe core app is free, no ads shown to students, and it uses location only while the app is open, with your permission.

A lesson, not a chapterNarration, quizzes, a deep Codex and branching decision points turn a page of the textbook into an experience.

Help build what comes next

The app is free and in closed testing on Google Play. Your support funds everything that comes next: more battles and narration, new narration viewpoints, deeper story campaigns, and the real-time tactical mode, the great battles of history rebuilt era by era. Here's exactly what your support unlocks, and what you get for it.

From the developer

I'm building Echoes of Battle because history deserves better than a textbook. Every battle here is one I wanted to stand inside: to hear it, command it, and finally understand it.

It's a real app, and it's free, because learning history shouldn't cost anything. But there is so much more to build: more battles and narration, more sides of every story, deeper campaigns, and the great battles rebuilt in real time, more than one person can carry alone. If any of this moved you, your support is how you keep it growing.
