My daughter decided to write the company an e-mail and nicely tell them about the issue and received no response. Last time I checked Oklahoma was still in the United States).
However. My 8 year old daughter LOVES this game.
Answer: Oregon and Ohio. we have come across numerous cards with incorrect answers on them.
(Example: What are the two states that start with the letter O. 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.
I am very unimpressed with this company and will not be purchasing products from them going forward.
This game is fantastic for learning about the states and engaging young children in geography. 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. Not one of the questions has a star. That being said, is it too much to ask International Playthings to proofread their questions. Great concept, but this isn't nuclear physics. We came across a number of questions with incomplete answers, which are easy enough to fix when we know the answers. The answers are easy enough for them to handle, and the information really seems to stick. 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.
It makes me wonder about the ones we don't know (state birds)., however. Are those correct, or misprints. Ridiculous. Of course we can work around it, but it's unfortunate that the execution is so sloppy.
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. I love the fact that I received a tracking number for the package and that is arrived so quickly.
The game is fun, but has a printing flaw on the spinner. One of the categories is listed twice, and one is not there. It was an easy, but primitive fix to tape the correct category over the incorrect one. The game was fun and challenging for elementary students and adults.
Great States kept my nine-year-old's interest and it was fun for his parents, too. I added additional states to the answers on a few cards to make them correct. 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. How hard would it have been for the game's creator to double-check the answers. They're all right there on the map gameboard.
