The way purposegames.com works is that when you first land at the website, you are presented with a series of different geography challenges. Each challenge varies in the degree of its complexity. Some challenges are very simple, for example, naming the seven continents. And then there are challenges for naming each of the states of the United States, the countries in various continents throughout the world, the capital cities of states, the capital cities of countries. And then there are even more complex challenges for advanced students of geography, such as games that teach you to associate longitudes and latitudes with various nations, localities within various different countries, state abbreviations, identifying what countries lie in between two others, identifying countries ranked by population, identifying the distances between various countries, countries ranked by size, and countless more.
