Our Expert Score

95/100

Stack the States is quite simply one of the best educational games ever made. It succeeds because it uses a physics-based 'reward' system that makes kids actually want to learn geography. By answering questions about capitals, shapes, and borders correctly, you earn a state that you can then drop onto a platform. The goal is to build a tower high enough to reach the line.

The genius is in how the states are shaped realistically; trying to balance a narrow Hawaii on top of a bulky Texas is a fun challenge in itself. It turns 'dry' facts into a tactile puzzle. With unlockable mini-games and multiple user profiles, it’s a robust package that provides hours of value. It’s a rare game that parents will be happy to see their kids playing for hours on end.
