I made an interactive map that lets you travel through time and explore +120k movies, books, YouTube videos and video games by where and when they take place, and what real history was happening at the same time.

I built StoryTerra, an interactive world map where you can explore movies, books, games, TV shows and YouTube videos based on where and when they take place, and see what real historical events were unfolding at the same time.

The platform brings together over 120,000 titles, all tagged with their narrative time periods and real-world (or closest fictional) locations. You can click on cities, regions, or countries, then use a time slider to browse across centuries, decades, or individual years.

Once you set a time, the entire map shifts to that era, letting you travel the world and see what stories and real history were happening everywhere at that moment.

Tabs you can explore:

Home → Stories: Movies, books, TV shows, and games History: Real historical events Video: YouTube videos tagged by time and setting (over 1,600 videos currently) Lists: Curated lists of stories you can create and share

It’s a new way to discover how fiction and real history intersect.

I’d love to hear your feedback, I’m always looking to improve it!
