Two ways to play

Pick a map, then pick how you want to play it.

Every one of the 600 maps works both ways, and you choose each time you sit down with one.

Jigsaw

Build the map by hand

In Jigsaw mode the map starts out in pieces. A piece clicks in when it touches the outer border or a neighbor you have already placed, so the map grows from the outside in like a real jigsaw, right up to the last piece.

Quiz

Find it from memory

Quiz mode takes all the names off the map, so it comes down to how well you know your geography. The game asks for a place and you press and hold where you think it is. A direct hit gets full points and the biggest fireworks, and a near miss still counts.

Try it here

The US states map, in both modes.

This is one of the six maps you get for free. Both demos run on this page, with nothing to install. The app adds a timer, hints, stars, a scrolling tray of pieces and 599 more maps.

Six states are missing. Drag each one home, or tap a piece and then tap its place on the map.

0 / 6 placed

Same map, other mode

Now find them from memory.

Five questions on the map you just built. Press and hold where you think each place is. In the app you can put a 10 second clock on every question, and a fast answer pays more.

Press and hold on the map where you think Colorado is.

The small things

Built to be picked up and put down.

Works offline

Maps you have downloaded play with no signal at all, on a train or a plane.

Picks up where you left off

Close the app halfway through a map and it is still waiting, pieces and all.

A nudge when you want one

Open the guide map, or ask for a hint that flashes where the piece in your hand goes.

Three difficulty levels

They change how close is close enough, whether you are placing a piece or answering a question.

Nine visual themes

Each one comes with its own color palettes, from paper cut to neon.

Records worth beating

Every map keeps your best time, best score and stars, and there are 62 achievements to collect.

Six free maps, then all 600.

Your free maps include the US states, London's boroughs and the Caribbean islands. You pay once to unlock the rest, plus every map added later. There are no subscriptions and no ads.
