The object of this game is to click on successive bordering US states to ‘travel’ through up to 25 states with the objective of accumulating the lowest total population among all states traveled through. Borders are land borders only. You must complete 25 states to have your score saved, so you can’t get ‘stuck’ in somewhere like Maine with no states left to click on unless Maine happens to be your 25th state visited.

For example, you can begin by clicking Texas – your next state can be any state bordering TX, such as Oklahoma. After clicking Oklahoma you can choose any state bordering OK except a state you have already visited (in this case just TX). You must continue along your path and can’t click a bordering state from a previously-clicked state unless it borders the state you just clicked.
