However, the mobile game Time Enforcers offers a refreshing approach to this challenge. Available now on iOS and Android (via the Samsung Galaxy app store), it presents an innovative and enjoyable method for kids to delve into historical learning.

Time Enforcers blends the elements of a digital interactive comic with a top-down action game. As a player, your mission is to thwart threats to time and the schemes of the villainous Chronolith. You'll step into the shoes of a Time Enforcer, journeying back to feudal Japan to save the timeline.

The educational component shines through as you navigate historical puzzles inspired by actual events. These puzzles require you to apply your gathered knowledge to answer questions posed by Chronolith's minions, who aim to impede your progress.

Horrible histories - When it comes to educational games, Time Enforcers stands out as a commendable choice. Although it focuses on a period of history not commonly covered in Western curriculums, it promises to be both informative and entertaining for players of all ages.

The developers of Time Enforcers have gone the extra mile by providing a comprehensive reference list detailing the sources that inspired and informed the game's development. If you're keen on exploring Samurai-era Japan, this game might just be the perfect educational tool for you.
