Default Re: WARNING - this game is addictive

Hey, this was fun! I am going to challenge my son and husband to see how well THEY do! I got a 94%, mostly because you have to be VERY accurate where you put each state, and I was off by a bit with two states, although I knew the general area.

Heck - my 11 yr old can whip me in this game. I need to brush up. Is it really soooo bad that I thought Alabama was Texas?

Default Re: WARNING - this game is addictive

The game is okay. But I can see where one can get addicted.

I got 94% 12mph ...199seconds(?)

I don't like the fact you have to be exact with every pixil on the computer when you first place the states on the blank map.

Thanks for the entertainment.

Default Re: WARNING - this game is addictive

My first time I didn't do that well, but it was mainly because my first states were interior ones (Arkansas first, then West Virginia, then Wyoming), which gave me a cumulative error that was three digits, though I got it down to the teens by the time I finished.

I tried again and got Texas first, and managed to get 100%.

64%, first shot. Not bad for a non U.S. citizen?

57% - Not bad for an Australian. This game would be much easier for Australia - we have only 7 divisions
