Midwest States Map Quiz

12 states. We name one, you click it on the map. Three tries each.

How to play

Press Start. The name of a Midwest state shows at the top of the map: click it. Right on the first try turns it green; right after a miss turns it amber; after three misses it turns red and the quiz moves on. The rest of the country is grey and can't be clicked. When you finish, practice just the states you missed.

Questions

How is the score worked out?

Your score is the share of places you found on the first try. A place you find on the second or third try turns amber and does not count toward the score; after three misses it turns red and the quiz moves on.

The small states are hard to click. What can I do?

Rhode Island and Delaware have a circle around them: click anywhere inside the circle. Use the + button (or pinch on a phone) to zoom in on the Northeast, and drag to move around.
