If you love maps and jigsaw puzzles, Scrambled Maps is right up your alley, so to speak. You'll be given a city map grid, like the one shown above, and your mission is to move the blocks around to make the map correct. I toyed with matching the most colorful geographic features, and after a cup of coffee I realized that I should read those tiny street names, and that made all the difference. The most frustrating part was having to move eight or more blocks together to reorient them, but that wasn't difficult. Yeah, I solved it. Spoiler below.

I believe the finished product today is Santiago, Chile. There will be a different city offered tomorrow. Keir Clarke designed this game as part of a series of map games from TripGeo. You might also want to try the other geography games in the sidebar.

Those giant robot monsters have been known to bite the tops off buildings or chew on tanks sent in by the army. Sometimes a tooth breaks off. (Bad news for the monster 'cause it's not usually covered in their dental plan).
