Positives
- The UI is nice and the game is pretty addictive, making learning about artifacts enjoyable.
- It's a creative and original project that challenges players in a fun way, especially for those with historical knowledge.
- Playing regularly helps train your brain to remember patterns, times, and locations of artifacts, which is a great educational aspect.
Concerns
- The scoring system is misleading; being in the 'top nn%' can feel better than it actually is, especially if you're below average.
- More detailed explanations after answers would enhance the learning experience, as the current information can be vague.
