Stack the States
© 2010 Freecloud Design, Inc.
Update CTR April 2016. See Stack the States 2. Do you know the state flag for North Carolina? Or which state borders Canada? This multiple-choice quiz game rewards you with more than a correct answer. You get a chance to drop the state onto a platform -- a process that also makes you more aware of a state's unique shape. Content includes the names, locations, major cities and sizes of the US states, plus flags. Wrong answers disappear along with an explanation, but correct answers, give the the ability to drop the state. The goal is to earn enough states to build a stack that reaches a high water mark. Because the states are depicted to scale (Texas is huge) you learn more than just facts. You also see how complex borders can be. When you complete a level, you earn a new state that is placed on your personal map. The goal is to win all the states. Records are saved automatically, for up to six player profiles. See also Stack the Countries. Note that the free version contains ads for other Dan Russell-Pinson apps, as well as prompts to upgrade on the main menu. But it's free -- so fair enough.
