Try and fill in this map without lines.

I have to admit; Missouri, Iowa Nebraska and Kansas gave me fits.

I am not smart enough to play the game without instructions!!

I tried 3 times and didn't get far.

You would do better if it let you start in the middle and build outward.

I can touch the same place for a state and get a right and a wrong. I am using an iPad though so don’t know if that is part of the problem.

It's super sensitive.. the pointy finger on the "hand" is where you have to be. You damn near have to be centered up on some states.

Rhode Island and Delaware are a pain in the ass to be sure! I was doing it on a 21" monitor and it was tough not toughing a nearby state.

This will either make you feel awesome, or make you punch your monitor lol

Those were the two that I kept having problems with. I had to figure out exactly where to touch for it to work. Once I got that firugred out, I was able to knock out the whole map with 5:21 remaining.

I got ten correct in ten seconds then it asked to find Mississippi, I clicked the right location and it told me it was wrong.

The game/app does not function properly.

As a kid I was my school district's geography B champ, the harder states would be the New England areas as the map is not large enough to click on an area for the smaller states as it bunches them all up.

It's finicky but it works.

Ah well, after it told me I was wrong when I pressed the cursor over the right area I bounced. YMMV.

It does allow you to skip a state and come back to it later if you want/need to.

Skipping is the key. Once you pointed it out I got it right away.. however it still took me three minutes.

My issue was that when you clicked and got one wrong, the screen would shift an inch and I wasn't sure how far I was off. Exactly where RI is, VT and NH, and picking Kansas or Oklahoma out of the thin air is what got me. Took me 4-5 misses before I did it in 4 with no skips. Skips are the key.

Right on the skipping. Locating NH, Delaware and RI were my downfalls. After learning to skip it took me three tries to learn the NE then I was good. Very tempting to look at a map, but I refrained. Damn, I feel like I just passed 5th Grade again.

This game is making me feel stupid, probably doesn't help playing on an 8" tablet screening.

Pressing the skip feature is cheating.

Mainly because I didn't see it lol

On a map with lines I'm damn near 100% and that's really all I need.
