Northeast States

From the Atlantic coast to the Green Mountains, how well do you know the Northeast? These quizzes cover the region's states with a steady stream of local trivia.

Northeast States Trivia

Each quiz takes on one state, spanning Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont. You will work through fill-in-the-blank and true or false questions about capitals, nicknames, famous residents, and historical firsts. You will run into Pennsylvania's claim to the banana split, New Jersey's record number of diners, and the brief moment New York City served as the nation's capital.

These sets sit at an intermediate level and make a friendly way to explore the original corner of the country. Each state stands on its own, so you can dip in wherever your curiosity takes you, and the mix of history and local color keeps even a long list of states from feeling repetitive.

Did You Know?

Two of the world's most popular sports were born in the same state. Both basketball and volleyball were invented in Massachusetts, within a few years and a few miles of each other.

Maine holds a quiet language record. It is the only US state with a name that is just one syllable long, the sort of thing you never notice until someone points it out, and roughly ninety percent of the state is covered in forest.

How the Quizzes Work

Each quiz is short, about five minutes, and you can repeat any of the 11 sets whenever a state's facts start to fade. Tackling one state at a time makes the whole region easy to absorb, and each state earns its own quick round, so the region adds up fast. Ready to explore the Northeast?
