US Counties Placement Challenge – Choose State
DirectionsFirst enter any state abbreviation. The map will then zoom in on that state and that state’s counties will be displayed as green polygons you can drag. When you start dragging on a county it’s name will appear to the right of the map. Move the counties to their correct locations in the state. You can ‘lock’ a county in place by double-clicking it. You will receive a score for each county based on how closely you placed the county to the exact location. Finish all counties or click End Quiz to finish.
Occasionally a county which may have multiple non-adjacent areas will only have the largest area appear as a polygon to place.
hugequiz Premium users will see the correct outlines of the counties when the quiz is ended.
After a while I am unable to move any of the counties, even when they are not locked in place. What is going on? Is it a glitch? Is there any way to fix this?
Yeah I’ve tried to fix this and think it’s some sort of glitch that occasionally occurs, unfortunately there’s no error message or anything I can work with and so no luck so far finding a solution 🙁
Just a tip for everyone here, to prevent this from happening, move all the counties in place without locking any of them down, as the glitch does happen until at least one is locked down. Then double click on all of them. If the glitch happens now, you can still double-click on them. This is how I was able to get a perfect score on Georgia’s 159 counties.
Also, I completed Georgia with locking everything down. Try not to drag green counties over or on top of red ones or else you’ll confuse to program into thinking the green ones are red.
Is anyone else having issues getting the green counties to show up at all? I’m not sure what changed between now and a few days ago when I played I tried reloading a few times tried a few different states after reloading, none of them showed the green counties for me to move around I then cleared my cache logged back in and I’m still seeing this issue I’m on chrome, is there a way to attach a screen shot of my inspector so you can see what you might need from my end?
Hmm I just tried a few states and the counties showed up fine.
LOL imagine trying Iowa. You gotta memorize the names and exact order.
you should make one for world countries

I can only finish one state and then it wont let me do anymore for some reason
You mean one county? What browser are you using?
I just tested it and there are 133 shapes…maybe you missed a tiny one somewhere? VA does have small cities which are themselves counties.
I’ve tried Ohio 3 times and each time, about halfway through, the green counties have become unable to drag, rendering me unable to finish the quiz. Not sure if this is a fixable issue or just my computer being weird
yeah I’m aware of this issue affecting some people – I’m trying a few different fixes. try reloading the quiz after clearing your cache so you are using the most recent version of the quiz. can’t promise it’s fixed – i think it’s actually a Google Maps bug.
You can move all the counties freely if you wait to lock them once they’re all in place. I just completed Georgia and its 159 counties this way.
I completed Georgia that way too! Thanks!
