This wasn't the game we were looking for but it is working for our needs and we are enjoying it. We play this as a family to help us learn the states and capitals. I can say it really does work to learn the states and their locations, as well as fun facts. It doesn't focus to much on the capitals as you play the game though, so you will have to sort of work that in as you get more familiar with the states and their locations. It is fun and easy to play.

This was actually super cute. Great quality, good value for your money. My eight year old is in second grade and he struggled a little bit with it, but he loves maps and geography and had a ton of fun with the game anyway. Gameplay is easy (my four year old had fun, he just needed help with the questions, obviously). Our family will have fun with this for years to come.

Love this game!!! Even had questions my husband and I didn't know. But my kids beg to play it all the time!!

Fun to play learning game for different age levels. Start with a couple rules for a game playing 3 year old and more rules for a 6 year old and up.

I love this game. Brought it out to play with my six year old and had her look at all the state cards we drew. We read the fact on the back and I had her hunt down each state using the state color and icon picture. I don’t think she’s learned anything about geography yet besides what we told her about which states our family lives in, but I feel like this game is going to get her familiar with answering test type questions like “which state is west of another state”, “which state doesn’t touch a coast”, etc. we’re teaching her the process of elimination by explaining characteristics of the multiple-choice options given to help inform her guesses. It will help teach her which parts of the US or Rocky versus swampy and other traits. It also teaches game strategy with trying to count out the exact number of moves she needs to reach her state. For now, We adults have her working on the third and fourth grade stack as we work through the fifth and up. It is a little too simple for us but if we get the other adults to make the wrong clues seem harder we can make it more challenging for us and we can add a little more challenged by additional rules for adults like you can’t even count mistake that another plane is on we adults have her working on the third and fourth grade stack as we work through the fifth and up. As for adults, It is a little too simple for us when given the three multiple-choice options, (too hard without them most of the time because we aren’t historians and can’t yet name the locations of all the big monuments and rivers in the US and such. The incorrect answers are easy to Eli mate though because they wouldn’t really make sense (this is good for kids but bad for adults). An example is a question on Graceland. We tried to have my husband answer it without the options, but he couldn’t remember which city in TN exactly. The options offers two cities in completely different areas and only one in TN. That was it! Another asked about the highest plateau or something and the options included an area that had “plains” in the title, an area that had, “valley” in the title and an area clearly not a plateau like in WA state. If we get the other adults to switch the wrong clues for harder ones, we can make it more challenging for us, and we can add a little more challenge by additional rules for adults like “you can’t even count mistakes that another plane is on” and “you have to roll EVERY TIME, even if you’re on the state you want to be on but answered the question wrong last time”. There are still a lot of cool facts the adults learn along the way as well.
