Read full description

All Places Now teaches geography through eight games split across two worlds: the United States and the whole world. UNITED STATES — 50 states, 7 question topics (capitals, abbreviations, nicknames, bordering states, regions, landmarks, and major cities), and 5 games: State Stack (answer, drop, and balance), Map Quest (find states on a map), Pile Up (clear a rising pile before it reaches the top), Map Builder (rebuild a region from pieces), and Capital Drop (match capitals at speed). WORLD — 193 countries, 8 question topics including capitals, flags, and landmarks, across three games: Country Stack, Country Map Quest, and Country Pile Up. Country cards can be read in English, Spanish, or French. Answer correctly to unlock the next game and collect states or countries as you go — 50 to complete the US map, 193 to complete the world map. Up to 6 player profiles let a family share one device, each with its own progress and high scores. Turn on "Read questions aloud" for hands-free play, or AirPlay to an Apple TV — there's a companion Apple TV app, and a home screen widget shows collection progress at a glance. Progress syncs through your own iCloud account across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Vision Pro, and Apple TV. No ads, no analytics, no account to create, and no in-app purchases.
