<h1>Features</h1>
<p class="page-intro">Everything you need for solo learning, family game nights, and classroom competitions. No multiple choice. No repetitive questions. Just pure timeline trivia.</p>
<section id="mechanic" class="section-with-screenshot">
<div class="section-text">
<h2>Not Your Typical Trivia Game</h2>
<p><strong>Tired of picking A, B, C, or D?</strong> Sorting History uses a timeline mechanic where you place historical events in chronological order. It's more engaging, more challenging, and you actually learn something.</p>
<p>Each round shows you a timeline and asks you to place a new event. Get it right, and your timeline grows. Get it wrong, and you learn the correct placement. Either way, you walk away knowing more than when you started.</p>
