First enter ‘beg’, ‘int’, ‘adv’, or ‘exp’ to begin. Beginner corresponds to 60 points, intermediate to 70 points, advanced to 80 points and expert to 90 points. This is the number of points you will need to score drawing each stateto get to continue on to the next state. The object is to complete as many states as you can.

You’ll be freehand drawing the 48 contiguous states (49 drawings in total, as the upper and lower peninsulas of Michigan are separate in this quiz). 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 the state to erase it and try again. You may have to wait a few moments for your score on larger states.

You continue to the next state as long as your points for the last state meet the minimum (60, 70, 80, or 90) based on the level you chose. Otherwise the game is over.

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.
