History
- Hidden Expedition: Titanic was released on July 19, 2006 and immediately moved into the #1 sales position for BFG. In this game, the player takes on the role of a treasure hunter working for the Hidden Expedition Adventure League (H.E.A.L.) to investigate the wreckage of the ocean liner Titanic. Although the Titanic was deemed 'unsinkable' by the press, it sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean after striking an iceberg on April 14, 1912 during its maiden voyage from Queenstown, Ireland to New York City, USA.
- Hidden Expedition: Everest was released on June 1, 2007 and also immediately moved into the #1 sales position on BFG. In this game, the player takes on the role of a member of the Hidden Expedition Club competing against three other teams (The Scholars, The Scarlet Hat League, and The Gamers) to reach the top of Mt. Everest first. However, prior to beginning your journey to Nepal, you must travel to the Amazon rainforest, a witches market in Bolivia, Peru's Machu Picchu, Mexico's El Dorado, the Mayan Wall, and Chichen Itza ruins and compete in various competitions.
- An interesting feature of Hidden Expedition: Everest is the presence of world-famous mountaineer and Mt. Everest climber, Ed Viesturs. Ed provides guidance for players throughout the game and was involved with BFG during game development to assist in creating a quality gaming experience. Moreover, BFG partnered with National Geographic Ventures for the development and the release of Hidden Expedition: Everest. A player exploring the summit of Mt. Everest in the game will be able to "view National Geographic's rich repository of video, photos, stories and other editorial from previous Everest expeditions and from National Geographic's incredible collection of exploration and adventure content."
- Hidden Expedition: Amazon was released on June 20, 2008. You play as a member of the Hidden Expedition Team who just came back from Mexico to safe-keep an ancient idol when a homing pigeon flew into your office with an S.O.S letter from your best friend, Rachel, who was stranded in the Amazon and Professor Mandible (an extreme biologist working for the team) was reported missing in the Amazon and you MUST find them and find out what the professor was searching for in the first place.
- Hidden Expedition: Devil's Triangle was released on October 24, 2009. You play as a leader of the Hidden Expedition Adventure Team (H.E.A.T.), and your task is to search for a pilot named Phoebe Bebe who went down in the Bermuda Triangle. During the search, you become shipwrecked on a mysterious island after a team of pirates led by a famous fictional pirate named Undertow hijacked your submarine by stealing its power source (the Bio-Coil, powered by a mysterious species of beetles which you and Professor Mandible have discovered in the Amazon game which can power anything for more than a century, as told by Emily, your submarine partner before its voyage.) where people seem to age much slower than normal people (thanks to a fictional machine designed by Leonardo da Vinci called the Da Vinci Node which never age anybody, which actually worked). However, not everything on the island of Elysia is as peaceful as it seems...
- Hidden Expedition: The Uncharted Island is the intended fifth game in the series. It's the sequel to the Devil's Triangle game where you are stranded on a strange island after you escaped a burning tower in a windy city on the island of Elysia by glider and crash-landed due to turbulence from the city and you must investigate three islands in the Bermuda Triangle, find Undertow and stop him before he wreaks havoc on the Devil's Triangle.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Literary works cannot be taken over like factories, or literary forms of expression like industrial methods. Realist writing, of which history offers many widely varying examples, is likewise conditioned by the question of how, when and for what class it is made use of.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
“Systematic philosophical and practical anti-intellectualism such as we are witnessing appears to be something truly novel in the history of human culture.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“No matter how vital experience might be while you lived it, no sooner was it ended and dead than it became as lifeless as the piles of dry dust in a school history book.”
—Ellen Glasgow (1874–1945)
