Name something people used for writing in the past
“Name something people used for writing in the past” is a question in OnlyClick, and our answer book knows 42 answers to it. Most people go straight for Paper, Quill or Papyrus, so those barely lift the rocket. It is a fairly short list: only 10 answers sit in the two rarest tiers, so reaching one takes real knowledge.
The first thing you see in your mind is what everybody sees. Look behind it, or at the back of the cupboard. You will find it in stage 35, “Cradle of Civilisation”, of the History mission. The first stages of every mission are free, and later stages come with the full mission.
