we have come across numerous cards with incorrect answers on them. Last time I checked Oklahoma was still in the United States).
My daughter decided to write the company an e-mail and nicely tell them about the issue and received no response. I am very reluctant to keep playing this with her as I'm wondering how many other answers are wrong that we don't know about.
My 8 year old daughter LOVES this game. Answer: Oregon and Ohio.
I am very unimpressed with this company and will not be purchasing products from them going forward. However.
(Example: What are the two states that start with the letter O.
Ridiculous. We came across a number of questions with incomplete answers, which are easy enough to fix when we know the answers. Finally, for advanced play it recommends using the cards that are "starred" to indicate a question that older children should refrain from looking at the board. Are those correct, or misprints.
This game is fantastic for learning about the states and engaging young children in geography. Great concept, but this isn't nuclear physics. Not one of the questions has a star. The answers are easy enough for them to handle, and the information really seems to stick.
Also, some of the pictures don't match what is on the card, which makes it tough for young kids when the directions say to match the pictures. Of course we can work around it, but it's unfortunate that the execution is so sloppy. That being said, is it too much to ask International Playthings to proofread their questions. It makes me wonder about the ones we don't know (state birds)., however.
I love the fact that I received a tracking number for the package and that is arrived so quickly. Just received the package today.in plenty of time for Christmas. The outside looks good, though I have not opened it to see the inside :-P The service was great.
The game was fun and challenging for elementary students and adults. It was an easy, but primitive fix to tape the correct category over the incorrect one. The game is fun, but has a printing flaw on the spinner. One of the categories is listed twice, and one is not there.
I added additional states to the answers on a few cards to make them correct. Great States kept my nine-year-old's interest and it was fun for his parents, too. They're all right there on the map gameboard. How hard would it have been for the game's creator to double-check the answers. It's a good geography learning game.However, while playing the game for our first time, we encountered several game cards with incomplete answers. For example, the answer given for "Name states with double N's in their name" omitted Connecticut.
