Fugdale’s Funhouse

Review: For the geography hounds out there or for anyone who needs a little brush up on their U.S. States, this fun game is for you. You start with a blank map of the 48 contigious United States (no Alaska or Hawaii). The various states fall one at a time from the top and you must use your arrow keys to drop them into place. You have 3 levels to choose from. The easy level gives you the name of each state and places it with the correct rotation. The hard level doesn’t provide the names and the states must be rotated correctly to fit into place.

Even if you aren’t that great at geography, you should still be able to finish the puzzle eventually by closely observing the edges of the states compared to the edges of the map. Since the states fall from bottom to top, you won’t have that many choices as to where to drop it. The mechanics of the game are pretty good. The hit area for each state is forgiving as long as you have it lined up in the right column you won’t need to do any fancy maneuvering to get a state to land in its spot.

For those who are very familiar with the states, you won’t find this game much of a challenge. But for a bigger challenge, try completing the other versions of the puzzle featuring other countries or more specific areas. You can choose from Europe, Africa, France, Japan, Netherlands, South Carolina, and the United Kingdom
