FAQ

Is Airtrek a chatbot?

No. Airtrek is an immersive history experience. Characters are arranged in small groups with distinct perspectives, relationships, and blind spots. You talk with them inside their world, not to a single all-knowing narrator.

Are the characters real historical people?

No. Characters are creative reconstructions of types of people who plausibly lived in each era, built from historical research. They are not a substitute for primary sources. See /historical-accuracy for how we handle evidence and uncertainty.

How many historical destinations are there?

19, spanning Ancient Rome, Imperial Rome, Edo Japan, Ancient Greece, Ancient Egypt, Sindh, Harlem Renaissance, Swahili Coast, Great Zimbabwe, Aztec Empire, Classical Maya, Kingdom of Kush, Medieval Paris, Renaissance Florence, Victorian London, Gilded Age NYC, Weimar Berlin, Prussia at its Height, and Chengdu.

Is Airtrek suitable for children?

Airtrek is intended for users 18 years of age or older.
