Online Tetris Map Game
September 16, 2007 | 1 Comment

Ready for some geography practice? Statetris is an interesting game mixing aspects of the popular game ‘Tetris’ and geography. Instead of positioning the typical Tetris blocks, you position states/countries at their proper location. Fun, challenging and educational! You can play the US version, UK, Africa, France, Europe, and even try to position all the counties in South Carolina! There are 3 levels, easy, medium and hard, so the game is good for a wide age range. Give it a try!
