Description: How well do you know the American States?

Instructions: How well do you know the American States? Drag and drop the States into place, learning where they are in relation to each other along with their flag and capital city. Click the Play or Play Advanced Version button to start. The main screen is a blank map with USA shown in orange and the outside in grey and green. In Play mode, the borders of the States are shown making it a little easier. In Advanced Mode the State borders are not shown and you win more points for each correct answer. On the left of the map is an area where each State is placed as a jigsaw piece. Using you mouse, left click on the piece and drag it to where you think it should go on the orange part of the map, then release the left mouse button. Above each jigsaw piece is shown the name of that State, its flag and the name of its capital city. If you are correct in placing the State to within a few pixels, you will hear a bleep and 100 points will be added to your score. If you are not correct, then when you release the left mouse button, the State will return to the left side and you will lose some points. You can then try again. If you decide you want to try to place a State after you have added some others, you can click the Pass button without loss of points. This is particularly useful for very small States. At the end of the game you have the option to play again or claim your certificate by choosing one of two buttons that will appear.
