The game runs in a DOS emulator: keyboard and mouse work like on an old PC, each game has its own layout (see the hints in the game). There are no on-screen buttons on a phone.

First click the game screen once: after that the keys go to the game, not the page. To scroll the page again, click outside the game window. If the game does not respond, click the game screen again.

The game runs from the Internet Archive site in their emulator; there are no game files on our servers. We show it so you can get to know it; the rights to the game belong to the rights holders. The built-in player has no volume control: if there is no sound or you need to adjust it, open the game page on Internet Archive, which has sound and full-screen buttons.

Each activity is based on the same concept: a state is highlighted in red on the US map and the player has to input the abbreviation, name of the state or capital. If the player starts with a wrong letter, the correct one is shown and then the remainder can be guessed. Correct ones are marked in green. When unsure the state can be skipped and will be marked in grey. It will be shown again when all other states have been presented. Additional information can be displayed such as the population and size. The game has options for outlining words, using upper or lower case letters, and a fixed or random order. It keep tracks of statistics such as time elapsed, amount of words done and skipped, number of correct characters, number of key strokes and efficiency.
