Whoever said that learning about U.S. geography had to be boring must not have read The Scrambled States of America. We fell head-over-heels for Laurie Kellers hilarious story and knew that it had the making for a great game. As with her book, we hope our game provides a fun way to enrich basic knowledge of U.S. geography. Players learn the names, capitals, nicknames, shapes and positions of the states through a myriad of visual teasers, language riddles and geography challenges. After playing, youll see that theres more to the 50 States than meets the eye!Quick! Find a state that ends with the letter A. Now find one that borders Tennessee. Have fun learning about the United States in this madcap game of observation and quick reflexes. Collect cards by matching states to a Scramble card. Or Go the Distance and find a states closest neighbor. Whoever scrambles to match and collect the most state cards wins.

Such a fun/educational game:
I played this game with a 7 year old and we had a blast. I learned a few things as well!
Great Educational Game:
My son loves this game. It is educational but fun as well. I would definitely recommend it.
buy this!:
my son (age 7) found the dvd that goes to this game at the library and fell in love with it! we watched it a dozen times the 1st day. come christmas time, i found that it has a game and a book-so we got him both. it is now 12.29.07 and i can say that i have played this game at the very least 40 times. this is by far his favorite gift. he is finding the states with out any problem now and is learning the nickname and the capitals as well.
ssshhhh...i don't think he knows he is learning!
My kids loved this!:
My kids (ages 11, 9, and 6) all have fun playing this game. I'd love to be able to purchase more cards as I can see that in the future the ones that came with the game will become too easy. The only negative thing I have to say is that it is made for 2 to 4 players; however, it only gave us three reference maps. I'm sure it was supposed to have come with four and our missing one was a mistake. Besides that, great game and lots of fun!
