Dear Parent or Teacher,

This project is a labor of love for me. I originally developed this map puzzle game for my 3 year old daughter after I read a study in a parenting magazine about the poor geography skills typical of today's children.

My daughter has been my lil’ tester while my team & I continue to refine the app to be fun, easy-to-use and educational. After the initial versions turned out so well, I decided to release this puzzle game as a product for all kids to enjoy. I plan to release an entire series of map puzzle games (Europe, Africa, South America, Asia, etc) in the near future, so keep your eyes open.

I sincerely hope your children enjoy all the fun and education built into my Kids Maps Puzzle Game as much as my daughter does – I hope to soon release more kid-friendly games, too.

If you have feedback or any technical issues, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I look forward to your input!

Thanks again for contributing to my daughter’s college fund!
