Stack the Countries™

To start, players choose between learning about countries by using the Interactive Map and Flashcards, or playing the Game.

Learn/Interactive Map

In this module, players select between the interactive map or flashcards. 

The interactive map invites users to choose a continent and then a country. Once selected, the country image enlarges, its flag appears, and a new fact comes up every couple of seconds. At this point, users can elect to view the country's flashcard.

Flashcard Information:

• Flag 
• Capital
• Languages
• Border countries
• Major cities
• Landmarks

Flashcards can also be browsed alphabetically by continent without using the interactive map.

Game

After clicking on Game, players select between establishing their own profile or playing as a guest. (Setting a profile allows for greater customization of the game.)  

Those with profiles begin by selecting a continent, or opting for questions on the whole world. They then can choose categories of questions (minimum: 2).

Question Categories:

• Capitals
• Continents
• Languages
• Border Countries
• Cities
• Landmarks
• Flags
• Country Shapes

Question Format

Each question, regardless of its focus, requires choosing between four possible countries.

As a question is answered correctly, the player adds to the stack of countries, attempting to reach the target height. Once achieved, the reward is a country for a personalized map of achievements. The more countries won, the closer the player is to unlocking the next game.

There are two additional games to unlock: Map It and Pile Up.

The graphics are high-quality (including beautiful photographs of landmarks). Almost anyone should find this app engaging and appropriately challenging.
