Pin US States on a Borderless Map - Sudden Death

Drag the flag onto the correct state. Careful, though! One wrong move and the game ends.

Hint: Use the arrows to scroll through the states and get the ones you know.

Mobile users: Start with the West Coast. You can safely rest a state's pin on a state that's already been guessed correctly.

You may put the flag down on the water or on states that have already been correctly labelled.
On the border doesn’t count. Be inside the border!

Awesome idea and excecution!

Of course I went; now where is hawaii and alaska, click, click click on the arrows haha. And of course texas and california ;)

Unfortunately I failed putting north dakota 1/100th of a milimeter in the wrong place, almost right on the border, one pixel off.

Gonna add it to my playlist :)

Hi Dimby! How’s your day going? I got all of them without skipping states. It took me 3:52. But I have an idea for you. You could make a quiz of “500 Largest Cities in the World” without a map to make it harder, just don’t add whammies, that’ll make it too hard.

Once you get to 10+ states the outlines make it too easy.

Lets do this again, but once you correctly place the state it shows up in green, then disappears!

How are people doing it sub 2 minute with no arrows?!?

My best is almost 4 minutes WITH ARROWS. I guess cause I’m not from America but oh well.

Is this quiz easier on Computer or Mobile? Tbh on mobile your fingers cover the screen so you may be less accurate

Great quiz!

I've taken this quiz several times because it is enjoyable and challenging, particularly if you try to do it without skipping. But this last time, it blew up even though the very tip of the arrow was clearly in the middle of Delaware (admittedly a tough state). I copied and enlarged the image just to make sure. I'm sure the algorithm works the vast majority of the time, but there are times when it clearly doesn't. But still an entertaining quiz.

That’s really strange. It works by mapping all the areas of each state and just detecting whether the tip of the bubble falls within the correct state area. You don’t have any plugins that affect zooming or anything so you?
