At some point i ran into this game:
http://bramus.github.io/mercator-puzzle-redux/
...and now I'm freaked out by the fact that i know where 95% of the countries in the world are, and what their shape is.<p>Does anyone know such games for learning history, economics... or whatever other adult topics like that? :)

For learning historical narratives, Youtube is honestly pretty great. Crash Course[1] is good for a broad overview. It presents a fairly coherent narrative and the advantage of this is that you can then relate any other historical narrative to this skeleton. Extra History[2] is a good example of a channel that presents narratives of specific incidents. If you are looking for a channel focusing on one particular period from lots of different angles, The Great War is not bad[3].<p>But none of this is actually going to teach you the skill of inquiry and skeptically reading different competing historical narratives. You kinda do need a class for that. A friend of mine is building a startup to make running one easier: <a href="https://www.beaglelearning.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.beaglelearning.com/</a><p>[1] <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yocja_N5s1I&list=PLBDA2E52FB1EF80C9&index=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yocja_N5s1I&list=PLBDA2E52FB...</a> , <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8dPuuaLjXtMwmepBjTSG593eG7ObzO7s" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8dPuuaLjXtMwmepBjTSG...</a> , and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8dPuuaLjXtPNZwz5_o_5uirJ8gQXnhEO" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8dPuuaLjXtPNZwz5_o_5...</a>

Sadly, looks like all comments misunderstood your question :(<p>I was searching for something like that too, but I didn't found anything interesting. Only usual repeat-until-you-remember style games, like famous now duolingo. No real games using what you're trying to learn as main mechanic to encourage learning :(
Just launched Duolingo flash cards. haven't tried yet. Not just for language other subjects too.

Freeciv-web at <a href="https://play.freeciv.org" rel="nofollow">https://play.freeciv.org</a> is a game which could teach some history and geography.
