Found her!
📖 How to Play
How does the game work?
- Ms. Gina gives a clue: the name of a state capital.
- She's hidden somewhere inside that state on the map — you have to spot her, not just click anywhere in the state.
- Scan the map, find her small icon, and click directly on her.
- Get it right, and a card pops up with the state name, its capital, and a quick fun fact.
- Miss, and the spot flashes red — try again until you find her.
- Find her in all 50 states to win!
What do the difficulty modes do?
- 🌟 Easy (state glows): the correct state lights up faintly, narrowing the search so students focus on spotting Ms. Gina rather than first identifying the state. Good for younger grades or first-time players.
- 🔥 Hard (map only): no highlight — students need to know the state itself before they can even start looking for her. Good for older grades or a review activity.
I'm stuck — is there a hint?
Yes — the "👀 Give me a hint" button makes Ms. Gina pulse/wiggle briefly so she's easier to spot. Handy for younger students or when a round is taking a while.
Classroom use ideas
- Independent practice: a quiet, self-paced activity during work time
- Whole-class warm-up: project the map and take turns calling out capitals
- Sub-day activity: no login or setup required — just open the page
- State/capital review before a quiz: Hard mode works well as informal self-assessment
