WHY YOU WILL LOVE MAPTASTIC:

You will be amazed at how quickly you can master US geography with MapTastic, even if you start out as a complete US geography dunce. By touching a real map and racing to compete for a high score, you will use muscle memory to learn your geography more quickly and thoroughly than through a book or a quiz.

MapTastic was made by a gamer to give you a polished experience that strikes just the right combination of fun and educational value.

MapTastic has excellent feel and feedback. Watch a different intensity of firework and hear a different sound based on how quickly you tapped each state. Learn as you go by seeing the names of the correct state and state you tapped when you miss an answer. And dont worry about tapping the small eastern states - MapTastics detailed and intelligent hit detection will make sure you dont miss any answers unfairly.

MapTastic always gives you something to work up to. Complete a challenge by answering all questions before time runs out, then master it by earning a five star rating, then conquer it by getting a world class high score.

MapTastic teaches major cities, not just states and capitals. By learning only states and capitals, you will miss out on major cities like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Detroit, San Francisco, Seattle, Philadelphia, Miami, and many more.

The Cities and Mixed game modes are especially challenging and educational. You will need to remember not just which state a city belongs to, but where in the state the city is located.
