HOW YOU'LL KNOW THEY'RE LEARNING
The ScoreBoard
A quick look at their scoreboard will tell you how many states a player has cleared and how much cash they've earned by successfully answering questions.
The Map
It takes three correct answers to clear a state and change its color, so if all 12 Midwest states are orange, you'll know they've answered at least 36 questions.
The Trophy Case
Each time a player clears a region or scores another major achievement, they'll earn a trophy, making a quick trip through the trophy case a great way to see which regions they've mastered and what they have yet to achieve.
