Run Stack the States® on PC or Mac

Why limit yourself to your small screen on the phone? Run Stack the States®, an app by Dan Russell-Pinson, best experienced on your PC or Mac with BlueStacks, the world’s #1 Android emulator.

Stack the States feels like a mix of quiz, puzzle, and a wobbly physics toy. Each round throws a question about a state, and a correct answer drops that state onto a stack that needs to reach a checkered line without tipping over. The states have friendly faces and odd shapes, so a tall tower can sway, slide, and teeter in funny ways. Progress is tied to collecting states and filling in a personal U.S. map, so the country slowly takes shape while capitals, abbreviations, flags, borders, and locations sink in. It sounds simple, and it is, but the stacking adds just enough tension to make facts stick.

As more states are earned, new modes unlock. Map It is a straight shot at placing states on the map. Pile Up rains pieces and wants quick taps before things overflow. Puzzler turns the states into a calm jigsaw to shuffle around. Capital Drop is faster, matching states with capitals as they fall, a little frantic but still clean to play. There are state avatars to pick from, multiple profiles so a family or class can share, and clear photos of landmarks that add a bit of flavor. No ads, no in-app purchases, no social stuff getting in the way. On BlueStacks, the bigger screen and mouse make those skinny shapes, like Maryland, easier to grab and slide, and the stacking feels alittle more precise when space is not tight.

BlueStacks gives you the much-needed freedom to experience your favorite apps on a bigger screen. Get it now.
