About these generators

Four generators deal the record of history -- a ruin with its story, a document with its consequence, an invention with its date, and an unsolved mystery with its leading theory. Travel lists, essay prompts, and pub-quiz ammunition.

Every result here is drawn using crypto.getRandomValues() -- the Web Crypto API's cryptographically secure randomness -- instead of Math.random(), so it's genuinely unpredictable, not just statistically random. Learn more.
