Famous People

In English! Can You Identify These World-Famous Figures from History and Culture? Who are they?

This app features 476 of the most recognizable icons from world history, including monarchs, politicians, musicians, actors, and film directors. Can you identify the portraits shown and earn all the stars across every level?

Spanning from Alexander the Great to Benjamin Franklin; Joan of Arc to Fred Astaire; Louis Armstrong to Winston Churchill.

It’s both a history and art quiz. The game is divided into two difficulty-based levels.

Level 1 – 123 well-known personalities (such as Julius Caesar and Alfred Hitchcock).

Level 2 – 122 more challenging figures to identify, including Blaise Pascal, Igor Sikorsky, and other influential philosophers, inventors, and leaders.

Plus, four specialized categories:

1. Writers (William Shakespeare and Leo Tolstoy);
2. Composers (Johann Sebastian Bach and Leonard Bernstein);
3. Painters (Michelangelo and Georgia O'Keeffe), plus a Paintings category: Identify the artist (e.g., if you see the “Mona Lisa,” answer “Leonardo da Vinci”).
4. Scientists (Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin).

Each level includes multiple game modes:

• Spelling quizzes (easy and hard).
• Multiple-choice questions (with 4 or 6 options). Remember, you only have 3 lives.
• Time game (answer as many as possible in 1 minute) – you need more than 25 correct answers to earn a star.

Two learning resources let you explore all featured celebrities without quiz pressure:

• Flashcards: Get a brief biography for each person, plus a link to their full encyclopedia entry.
• Tables for each level.

The app is available in 24 languages, including English, French, Spanish, German, and more.
