This isn’t your average line drawing game! Join Mr. Apple on a cross-country road trip to visit national and state parks across the United States, navigate puzzles, collect stars, and learn about U.S. civics. Use your finger or stylus and draw lines for Mr. Apple to roll down and into the correct barrel. But choose your path wisely! Pesky gravity, sharp spikes, goopy honey, and other surprises could send Mr. Apple careening off-road. Harness the power of wind, bouncers, teleporters and more to maneuver past obstacles or soar through the air to victory! Playable with or without an internet connection, Civics Scribble offers free (and ad-free) educational fun for the whole family. Whether you are a civics star or a line-drawing expert, Civics Scribble will challenge you to forge your own path!
