There is a set number of questions and you are scored for each one. There is also a zany bonus question that will add 5 points to the score for that question. When all the questions have been completed the average score is configured and you are given a rank. The ranks are Novice, Learner, Master Learner, Junior Historian, Historian, Senior Historian, Master Historian, and Einstein. Also on the score screen there are two buttons that lets you choose to play the same level again or advance to the next level. The great pictures and ease of use makes this game not only educational but also fun. It is easy enough for people who are just learning but can be difficult enough for history buffs.
