This review game covers a single lesson of the French history curriculum for 5e: “Byzantium, a Christian empire of the East”, from the unit “Christendom and Islam (6th-13th centuries): worlds in contact.” Its questions are about an eastern Christian empire that sees itself as heir to the Romans, its great capital, its emperor and its Church, and how Eastern and Western Christians slowly drift apart.
Each round has 10 questions drawn at random from the lesson: multiple choice, true or false, fill in the blanks, matching and timelines. After each answer, an explanation recalls what to remember. Hints are free, and you can go back.
The game follows the French national curriculum: 5e is the second year of middle school in France, for students aged 12 to 13. Elsewhere, it works as general knowledge for curious learners of that age. Play it again and you get other questions: it is good practice right after the lesson or before a test.
