Think it through before you map
Start here
Layered-Map Builder Predict which mountain slope turns to desert (rain shadow), where a river flows next, and what landform two moving plates build. 
Biome / Climate Match Read a climate — temperature and rainfall — and figure out which biome grows there, from rainforest to tundra. 
Projection Lab Discover why a flat Mercator map makes places near the poles look far bigger than they really are — the famous Greenland illusion. 
Grid Coordinates Plot a place at its latitude and longitude — step the crosshair north/south and east/west to put the point exactly where it belongs. How are you feeling?

Build & reason about a world
Layered-Map Builder Predict rain shadow, river flow, and plate landforms — then see the answer. Biome / Climate Match Read a climate and figure out which biome grows there. Projection Lab See why a flat Mercator map fools your eyes near the poles. Grid Coordinates Plot a place at its latitude and longitude on the grid. Time Zones Given the time in one city, set the clock in another — and watch the day roll over, because the Earth turns 15° every hour.
Learn & practice
Concept kits 16 kits from tectonic plates through climate, biomes, settlement, trade, and map skills. Mixed Practice A short round shuffling questions from the kits you have played — spaced so it sticks. MapForge Sprint Race your OWN best on what you already know. Timer optional, no penalty for a miss. Trick Questions Brain-teasers with a twist — spot why the obvious geography answer is a trap. Teach the Cast Teach a geography idea to a cast member still learning it — teaching makes it stick. Progress Your levels, days active, and how each skill is coming along — saved on this device. Progress report For grown-ups — a private on-device snapshot mapped to the skill areas. Export a CSV or print.
