History mission
Pharaohs, emperors and forgotten inventors. History is one of the themed missions in OnlyClick: 50 stages and 250 questions, with 15,757 accepted answers. It moves from famous rulers to dynasties and inventors whom history has largely forgotten.
The route runs from “History's Greatest Hits” to “Myth Masters”. The first stages are free to fly, and later stages come with the full mission. Rarer answers fly you farther, and it takes enough thrust to clear each stage.
