Overview:

A jigsaw puzzle of the continent of South America. Drag and drop the countries into place, learning where they are in relation to each other along with basic information about each. Click the Play or Play Advanced Version button on the first screen to start. You will then be shown a blank map with continent of South America shown in orange. In ordinary Play mode, the borders of the countries are shown. In the advanced mode the country borders are not shown and you gain more points for each correct answer. On the left of the map is an area where each country is placed as a jigsaw piece. Using the mouse, left click on the piece and drag it to where you think it should go on the orange part of the map, then release the left mouse button. Above each jigsaw piece is shown the name of that country, its flag and the name of its capital city. If you are correct in placing the country to within a few pixels, you will hear a bleep and 100 points will be added to your score. If you are not correct, then when you release the left mouse button, the country will return to the left side and you will lose some points. You can then try again. If you decide you want to try to place a country after you have added some others, you can click the Pass button without loss of points. This is particularly useful for tricky, very small countries. At the end of the game you have the option to play again or claim your certificate by choosing one of two buttons that will appear.
