Tips and strategy

  • Learn the big shapes first: Texas, California, Florida and Alaska are easy to spot.
  • The small north eastern states sit close together. Zoom in two or three times before you tap.
  • Use the neighbours: if you know where Kansas is, Nebraska is the one above it.
  • Alaska and Hawaii sit in their usual spots at the bottom left of the map.

FAQ

Is the District of Columbia included?
No. It is too small to tap on a map of the whole country, so the quiz covers the fifty states.
Where do the outlines come from?
The US Census, which is in the public domain, simplified for the web.
Is my best score saved?
Yes, on this device only.
