History Hero App iTunes Gift Card & $50 AMEX Gift Card #Giveaway #NSXMas

Have you heard of the History Hero App?

Living in NYC, we were able to put the History Hero App to good use at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The History Hero app guided us through a type of scavenger hunt as we attempted to save the word from the Erasers.  The girls and I thought this was a great way to take museum exploring to a whole other level.  We had lots of fun as we went on our real life quest finding important data while enjoying the museum at the same time.

You can use the History Hero app in the following NYC locations:

Metropolitan Museum of Art

Museum of Modern Art

Natural History Museum

South Central Park

You can also use it in the following cities: Chicago, London, Minneapolis, New York, Paris, Philadelphia, Rome and Washington D.C.

 The International Committee on Extraterrestrial Threats is reporting that the Erasers are closing in on museums, churches and other historical sites. Time is running out. If we don’t secure critical data about our most important historical artifacts, our history will be gone. Forever.

The answer to this global crisis is History Hero – the first interactive video game to guide you through the world’s most important museums, churches, and historical sites. One simple download will transform a family sightseeing outing into a world-saving, alien-battling, history-learning adventure.

Developed in consultation with top U.S. educators, History Hero brings history to life in a way that guidebooks and audio tours cannot. There are History Hero missions designed for kids as young as 4-7 all the way up to teenagers and adults.

  2. I’d like to try this app because it would make our museum tour a lot more fun and interactive!

  14. I would like it because my daughter has mentioned she doesn’t like learning about history because it’s boring, so if it seems more like a game then maybe she will get more into it

  81. I’d like to try the history app to learn more about the history they don’t teach in school.

  83. I think it would be fun to tour the Smithsonian museums with this. While tour guides are nice, it is fun to be able to go where your eyes lead rather than follow behind others. And I would imagine this app has lots of interesting tidbits and you can replay them as much as you’d like, without upsetting others that might be part of a tour group.

  101. What I like is this app will get the kids interested in going to a museum instead of a wrinkled nose when you tell them your going to a museum they will be excited to play the game along with getting educated about history. Thanks for a great giveaway!

  165. My 15 yr old son would LOVE to have this app, he is a true history buff and maybe some of the Detroit area museums are there.

  168. We’re planning another trip to DC sometime this summer and I think this app would make exploring the museums and monuments even more fun that it was last time we were there. I like taking trips that have an educational element that my kids actually think is fun.

  206. I’m working on my history PhD, so I guess that fulfiills the pre-req of being a history nerd! However, I’m also working on teaching, and I think the app could be useful if expanded to other museums, not to mention some of the activities could be adapted to be done “offline” via class visit.

  211. I’d love to try the app to make the museum experience not only more enjoyable but interactive which will only promote more learning.

  218. The app looks like SO much fun, not even just for kids. I’d have fun playing it myself! I’m assuming that they will probably add more landmarks and cities, and I think it’s great incentive to travel and learn, which people of any age need!

  221. I’m a social studies teacher so I love all things history. I’d enjoy this app because it would be helpful in the classroom!

  222. I’d like to try it because it’s interactive and gets kids more excited and motivated about the museum. Thanks.

  230. I think this app would be great for my son on our homeschool adventures to the museums. We will be visiting at least 2 of them in the next few months.

  238. So you can use this app while you’re at the museums and tourist attractions? That would really be something! Like having a personal tour guide. Not only cool for kids, but for me too! I’ll be sure to check it out. Would be a lot of fun to use in Washington DC!

  247. We go to museums regularily but find the kids get bored if there isn’t a new exhibit to see. This would give us a whole new reason to just go.

  254. What a fun and exciting way to learn about our history. And when it’s fun, you learn at a different level because you are involved and interested because of how it draws you in.

  255. I’d like to try the app with my nephew who never wants to do anything but play destruct-o games on the computer.

  260. I think it would make history more interesting and fun for my kids! They might actually want to go to a museum once in a while!

  266. This app would intrigue my kids and they’d make sure we went to the museum so they could check the app out. What a great way to get kids interested in history.

  275. I would like to try the app and be quicker on my responses when my kids ask me “why ” and “what” and “how” lol. Google takes too long. LOL!

  277. This would be great we love to take the kids and go to different Historical places and this would make it really interesting and fun

  281. I entered the mattress giveaway grand prize as Krista Grandstaff , kmf.grandstaff (at) yahoo(dot)com

  282. I’d like to try the app because my kids are huge history buffs, and any trip we take is full of museums and monuments, etc. They would get such a kick out of this…

  283. It sounds like it would be something both fun and educational that everyone in the family would enjoy.

  291. I’d like to try this app because it would make our museum tour a lot more fun and interactive!

  297. My son already loves history and going to museums but I am sure he would love to put a new twist on it by using the app.

  302. We visit a museum at least once each summer. This would be a fun app to play with the kids to help generate a discussion of things we’ve seen/learned on those visits.

  308. This seems to make history fun, that would be ideal for my daughter , who is not a big fan of history, I love museums, and would love to get my daughter into that

  310. I hate visiting locations and not knowing anything behind it. This is a great educational tool to make the site even more interesting!

  315. I would love to try the app because I am always looking for fun ways for the kids to learn.

  333. This app looks really cool for interesting history information. I like learning things about history that I ignored in school…lol
