Really well done!

These games are really creative and well done! I’m just really impressed with the graphics because they’re so much more attractive than the launchpad games we’ve gotten at the library before. Many have tried to make great US geography games but this one is actually fun!

Real learning and SO fun for all ages!

All my kids, from ages 13 to 8, love this app and are each learning on their own level! And I love it because they are really learning while playing. There are a bunch of different games including playing with bordering states, population, elevation, dates they became a state, size, location, etc. There are variations of the games that are so fun and different levels. Definitely worth the purchase and the time spent playing!

Fun and Educational

My kids are begging to play this game — and I’m enjoying it too! They are learning new vocabulary, better spacial reasoning , and lots and lots about our country! We were all gathered around trying to beat the levels and taking turns.

My kids say
“4 7/8 stars out of 5. It’s fun and it helps me learn the states. Plus I like destroying the things on freestyle”

“DESTROY PENNSYLVANIA!! I give it 11 million stars because I loved it so much and want to play it again”

One problem we’ve run into is that with the puzzle sometimes states slide under where the cutout on the phone is for the camera and some of the buttons and they can’t be found or used. They’re just stuck. Other than that Amazing Game!

Homeschool Mom says Yessss!

Geography Done! The kids get this game as a treat for getting their work done! Ha ha! They are playing and absorbing basic geography! I really like how it gets them to have to actually know the state shape and where it really is and not just a memorize and forget a day later! I also love the battles game. It has been very motivational for my 6 year old and my 13 year old!

Thank you!

Fun and educational. I’ve never seen a state puzzle like that. My youngest only knew a few states, now he knows them all. Also the different games are great , they all have their favorites.
