Now for the real test. You’ll be freehand drawing the states except Hawaii (50 drawings in total, as the upper and lower peninsulas of Michigan are separate in this quiz). However for this quiz everything is blank – no coastlines, only a black canvas for each state.

When the quiz loads on the right side you will be told which state to draw. To begin drawing a state, click Draw or right-click anywhere in the map to enter drawing mode. Click and drag the mouse to make an outline of the state. Release the mouse to ‘close’ the state and it will appear green. If happy and ready to submit, click Submit or double-click the drawn state. Click Erase or right-click it to erase it and start over. After completing a state you will need to click NEXT STATE above the map to go on to the next one. Your score may take a few moments to calculate for larger states.

You will see a white horizontal line when you begin drawing a state. You can zoom in/out and pan to prepare before you start drawing. The line corresponds to the most northern point of the portion of the state you are drawing, so you can line up the drawing’s most northern point with that line. The line is also the exact width of the portion of the state you are drawing from it’s farthest west point to farthest east. Use this line as a guide to draw the state as that is where the state will line up when you submit your drawing for accuracy.

You are only drawing the main portion of each state – do not worry about any disjointed islands, etc.

When you submit a state you are scored on the % of your state which contains the actual state (shown as ‘% In State’) and the % of the actual state contained in your state (shown as ‘% Of State’). These average out to create your points for that state.

Complete all states or click End Quiz at any time to save your score. You will then see a satellite view of the US with your states in their places. Don’t forget to take a screenshot of your beautifully drawn United States!
