PastRush: History Detective — App Store rankings

About this app

The developer's US App Store description, in full.

History isn't just read. It's investigated. PastRush puts real case files in your hands. Each investigation gives you labelled exhibits and asks you to do what historians and scientists do: put events in order, weigh one source against another, trace causes, and decide what the evidence can and cannot prove. 12 INVESTIGATIONS Six are free for everyone: the Rosetta Stone, Pompeii, the rock layers of the Grand Canyon, Ötzi the Iceman, continental drift and the Norse in Vinland. Six more come with Founder Lifetime, a one-time purchase: the Chicxulub impact, the Black Death, the history of printing, Stonehenge, the Antikythera mechanism and the last mammoths. FIVE WAYS TO INVESTIGATE • Chronology: rebuild the order of events, with BC/AD dates handled correctly • Source comparison: what does each source support, and what does neither show? • Cause and consequence: link causes to effects where the evidence supports it • Time and place: match events to where and when they happened • What can we conclude?: sort claims into supported and going too far Every answer explains why, and links to the source behind it. KNOW YOUR EVIDENCE Every exhibit is labelled: made at the time, written later, scientific finding or modern reconstruction. Paintings are marked as illustrations, never presented as photographs of real objects. TIME THREADS AND TRUE SCALE Solved cases reveal 14 Time Threads that connect them by time, place, cause or way of knowing, each with what it cannot tell us. A true-scale time bar shows how far apart two events really are. YOUR NOTEBOOK AND A DAILY CHECK Save exhibits and write notes in your offline Notebook. A Daily Evidence Check gives you five claims to judge each day. FOLLOW THE CASE ACROSS EARTH Open any case on the 3D globe and drag the Time River to see where it happened, from today back to Pangaea. 245 painted stories carry evidence labels and sources. The satellite map and nearby places need an internet connection; cases, the Notebook, stories and ancient-Earth maps work offline. FOR FAMILIES AND CLASSROOMS Class mode hides purchases and outside links on shared devices. It does not unlock paid content. Founder Lifetime works with Apple Family Sharing; progress and notes stay on each device. No account, no ads, no tracking. FOUNDER LIFETIME (OPTIONAL) One purchase unlocks cases 7–12, every story collection on the globe and the Master tier in every challenge. It is a one-time, non-consumable purchase: no subscription and no recurring charges. Restore it on any device signed in with the same Apple ID.
