After many weeks of hard work, I’m very happy to announce the release of Stack the Countries!After the success of Stack the States, I received many requests to make a similar game for the countries of the world… so I did! Stack the Countries offers the same fun and learning as Stack the States, but also adds many new features giving it a much larger scope.
The game focuses on basic country information such as capitals, landmarks, major cities, continents, border countries, languages, flags and more. You can dive right in and play or brush up on your country knowledge by using the 192 country flash cards and the interactive maps of the continents. As you progress in the game, you earn more countries to add to your personalized map of the world. You also unlock the two free bonus games.
Map It! is a bonus game that’s designed to help players learn where the countries are located on the map. First pick a continent to play with then tap the location on the map where the requested country is located. Pile Up! is another bonus game that helps players identify the countries based on their shape.
Since learning the countries of the world is more difficult than the 50 states, I’ve added a few features that will help ease the learning curve. First, each player can choose to focus only on one continent at a time. Also, each player can choose which of the 8 types of questions are asked.
Stack the Countries Features:
▸ More than 1000 unique questions
▸ 192 flash cards — one for each country!
▸ Interactive maps of the continents
▸ Collect all 192 countries and track your progress on personalized maps
▸ Earn FREE bonus games: Map It! and Pile Up!
▸ Works on both iPhone and iPad – a universal app
▸ Create up to six player profiles
▸ Choose any of the friendly-looking countries as your avatar
▸ High resolution pictures of famous world landmarks
▸ iPhone 4 Retina Display support

I just wanted to thank you for this app. My 5 year old loves it and has learned every country in every continent– you can see her here using your app:
I really appreciate the work you did in putting this together and making it so much fun for the kids. I will be on the lookout for all your future apps!!
Hi Marcia, thanks for your comment! I’m so glad your daughter is enjoying (and learning from) Stack the Countries. She really knows her stuff! Thanks for sharing the video… I love to see children playing my apps. -Dan
Love both stack the countries and stack the states. My 5 year old can place every country in the world and he wouldn’t be doing that without the app. If I could make one suggestion: it would be nice if the name of the country was said aloud when it comes up. My son doesn’t read well yet and I he is basing everything on shape and color which is still great. Also, if you could add a game to the stack the states where you could place the states in their proper place like in stack the countries. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Hi. My 5 year old and I love this app! Quick question, Western Sahara is considered an occupied territory: is this why you did not include it on the map of Africa?
Hello Gwen! Thanks for your note. Yes, deciding which countries should be included in the game was a little challenging at first. To make it as clean as possible, I decided to only include the 193 countries that are members of the United Nations. This does leave out a few regions such as Western Sahara, etc., but it does handle the vast majority of what we consider “countries”. I hope this helps! -Dan
Not usually one to leave online comments but Stack the Countries is amazing. My four-year-old has become a geography whiz from this game. He has learned the countries, the flags, and has used his love of Stack the Countries to expand his interests in the world, asking about the governments of the countries, the languages they speak. Totally unbelievable. Thank you. I just wish that it was available on Kindle. Now he keeps stealing my iphone to play and I really wish he could play on his Kindle Fire instead. Thank you for an awesome product
Thanks for your note! I’m very pleased that your 4yo is enjoying (and learning from) Stack the Countries. -Dan
