Population Paths

Day 25 of the #30DayMapChallenge is Hexagons! In response I've created a little hex-map puzzle game.

The aim of Population Paths is to create a continuous path from the West Coast to the East Coast, one state at a time by correctly guessing whether each neighboring state has a higher or lower population than the one you’re currently standing on.

How to Play

You begin on one of four possible starting statesWashington, Oregon, Idaho, or California.

On each turn:

  1. You’re shown the current state you’re standing in.

  2. All states that touch it on the map light up as neighbors.

  3. You pick any neighbor — and then answer one question: Does this state have a higher or lower population than your current state?

If you’re right:

  • You move into that state

  • Your score increases

  • New neighboring states appear

  • And your journey continues eastward

The game ends when you successfully reach an East Coast state, or when you run out of possible moves.
