85+ Awesome Road Trip Trivia Games and Questions! [2021 Car Ride Trivia]

Going on a road trip and want some fun road trip trivia to help pass the time? Check out this post full of awesome car ride trivia questions and road trip trivia games!

Danny Newman

Looking for some fun road trip trivia to call upon in the car? I hope this post helps!

I can’t lie.

I’d probably veto the idea if we were on a road trip and you suggested we play a road trip trivia game. Why?

Because I’m awful (like, really really bad) at all things trivia! There’d be no point in playing. You’d pummel me with your superior general knowledge every single time.

But that’s just me…

I know lots of people love them and, in all fairness, couldn’t agree more that they’re great ways to kill time on a long car journey.

Are you looking for some quality car ride trivia games to play right now? Well, I’ve got you sorted.

I’ve put together a set of top trivia games for car rides, followed by a long list of fun road trip trivia questions. All told, there should be more than enough trivia here to help anybody stimulate conversation and have far more fun on the journey ahead.

Sound good? Check out this ‘top travel trivia games’ (and questions) guide!

Travel trivia games are ideal when things start to get a bit boring in the car. Here are 6 road trip trivia games I think you’ll like!

6 Entertaining Road Trip Trivia Games (+ Apps)

Road trip trivia games are the perfect way to pass the time on a long journey.

With that I mind, here’s a selection of the best car ride trivia games and apps to call upon whenever you’re in need of entertainment on the road.

1. Name the Capitals

One of the simplest trivia games to play in the car is naming the world’s capital cities. One player would act as host and bring up an alphabetical list of capital cities ( like this one ). Then the other players would take it in turns to name a capital city beginning with a certain letter. You could do it randomly until you got through the entire alphabet or proceed from A to Z (e.g. Amsterdam, Buenos Aires, Cardiff…). The winner would be the person who names the greatest number of cities (or who doesn’t give up first…).

Of course, you could also play a variation of this game with countries rather than capitals. And if geography’s not your strong suit, then there’s nothing stopping you from trying totally different topics. Food, animals, and sports players would all work well too.

Alternatively, you could go on the free website called Sporcle, which has electronic versions of all manner of quizzes. Everyone in the car could join forces in an effort to beat the computer!

2. Guess the Song

Let’s face it, no road trip’s complete without some top tunes playing in the background. That’s why you’re sure to love a fun car trip trivia app called Guess the Song .

Speaking of which, you can probably guess what you have to do…

You got it: the app selects songs at random and it’s your job to guess them! Get it right and you score a point. The app interface even keeps track of each player’s scores.

Don’t worry if you don’t have access to the app, either. You could easily play this game manually instead. Simply plug your phone into the car’s speaker system, open up Spotify (or YouTube, or Apple Music…), and play a song for everybody to listen to/guess.

Take it in turns to pick the music, track peoples’ scores, and see who gets the most points!

3. Popcorn Trivia (Mobile App)

Are you travelling in a car full of film buffs?

If so, then you should thoroughly enjoy this particular car trip trivia game. This popular mobile app allows you to compete with friends by answering questions on every film/genre imaginable (and it’s free, too!).

With every question you get right and every round you win, you collect points that open up new rounds and new genres for you to enjoy.

Even better, because it’s an app and not a board game, it gets continuously updated with new questions about the hottest releases from the cinema, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and so on.

Is all this talk of popcorn making you hungry? Check out this post about the ultimate road trip food for your trip.

Car ride trivia games don’t get much easier (or more entertaining) than a ‘trivial spin’ on Truth or Dare.

4. Trivia Truth or Dare

This road trip trivia game’s a bit harder to play in a moving car than it’d be at home. However, this should make it more interesting as you have to get creative with your dares.

Just don’t crash while you’re at it… please .

Truth or Dare needs no introduction. As you know, it can be played as a funny game in and of itself. But you can also combine it with others.

But not just any other games. Trivia games .

Here’s how:

You can spin a bottle (mobile-based, of course, or just use a randomised selector on your phone) to determine who has to answer a road trip trivia question. Then, if they get it wrong, they have to select ‘truth or dare’ as a kind of forfeit.

It’s then your job to pose the most heinous truth or dare possible to make your road trip a little more interesting!

5. Spelling Bee

One of the simplest travel trivia games for car rides would be a good old-fashioned spelling bee. Now, this might not sound all that exciting.

But if you’re a ‘word nerd’ like me, then road trip games don’t get much better!

You can test your spelling prowess and see how it holds up against your fellow friends and family. Set each turn to a timer (aka who can spell the most words correctly in a set amount of time) and keep track of your scores to see who wins.

Oh, and one person in the car could play ‘host’ too. This guy or gal would set the words for each ‘contestant’ (altering the difficulty level according to age/capabilities) and keep score along the way.

FYI, a spelling bee would be particularly good if you’re travelling with children. It’d improve their spelling and vocabulary while preparing them for actual school spelling tests they’ll have to do in future!

6. Pointless

First off, to play this game you’ll need to download the app on your phone. Assuming that’s not a problem, though, you’re in for a treat.

‘Pointless’ is a gameshow in the UK (maybe it’s in the US, too?) where the objective is to come up with the obscurest answer to the question you receive. Think of an answer that nobody else has come up with and you walk away with more points.

Here’s any example:

“Name a U.S President.”

Most people would probably answer Donald Trump, Barrack Obama or George Bush, right? They’re pretty obvious, so you’d score fewer points.

Other people might answer Abraham Lincoln, or J.F. Kennedy. Those are better (aka somewhat less obvious) answers and would score higher as a result.

But an answer like ‘James K. Polk’ (11th US president) or ‘Franklin Pierce’ (the 14th US president) would score highest because they’re really bloody obscure!

Give it a go with the app in the car and you’re sure to have good fun.

Road trip trivia questions can be another source of fun when you’ve exhausted the road trip trivia games above. In fact, you can usually turn these questions into games anyway! So, with that said, what car ride trivia questions could you ask?

Heads up, click here if you’re looking for more road trip questions (that aren’t trivia related).

20 Funny Road Trip Trivia Questions: ‘Would You Rather?’

This is the ultimate either-or question game. It forces the person answering the question to decide what their least favourable outcome is. It can be revealing, to say the least!

You’ll learn all sorts about each other’s tastes, personality, how they’d react to certain situations, and so on.

Here are a few of my favourite examples:

1. ‘Would you rather have legs for arms or arms for legs?’

2. ‘Would you rather begin every sentence with ‘hey idiot’ or end every sentence with ‘only joking’’?

3. ‘Would you rather lose your sight or your hearing (or taste, touch, smell…)?’

4. ‘Would you rather have smelly breath or smelly armpits?’

5. ‘Would you rather pee or poop your pants in public?’

6. ‘Would you rather live forever or have a super power?’

7. ‘Would you rather be super strong or super fast?’

8. ‘Would you rather make out with [insert sexy celebrity A] or [insert sexy celebrity B]?’

9. ‘Would you rather have no elbows or no knees?’

10. ‘Would you rather eat cat food or dog food?’

“‘Would you rather have an awkwardly loud laugh or a weirdly quiet one?’”

12. ‘Would you rather quit drinking or turn off your WiFi for the next month?’

13. ‘Would you rather be rich or happy?’

14. ‘Would you rather travel to the future or change something in your past?’

15. ‘Would you rather read peoples’ minds or be able to fly?’

16. ‘Would you rather be Superman or Spiderman?’

17. ‘Would you rather look like a fish or smell like a fish?’

18. ‘Would you rather live in space or under the sea?’

19. ‘Would you rather stop eating [insert favourite food A] or [insert favourite food B]?’

20. ‘Would you rather eyes where your ears are or ears where your eyes are?’

Some trivia games for car rides are as simple as asking each other general knowledge questions!

40 General Trivia Questions for Road Trips

General car ride trivia questions are fun ways to test your general knowledge and learn something new in the process!

You could make things even more interesting by turning it into a competition.

For instance, everybody in the car could claim how many answers they expect to have for a certain open-ended question (e.g. how many Presidents of the United States can you name?). If you fail to meet your chosen number, then you lose and have to do a forfeit.

Car trip trivia doesn’t have to be trivial ! Here are some fun personal questions to help you get to know each other better.

10 Fun Personal Questions

The questions so far have been fun and entertaining, but they’re also a little…well, superficial. What if you want a slower-paced road trip game that goes a bit deeper?

You could try some fun, personal questions instead.

They’d be effective ways to cut through the small talk and get onto ‘real’ topics that help you get to know each other better. Some examples could include:

71. ‘If you had all the money in the world, what would you spend it on?’

72. ‘If you could take one person with you to a desert island, who would you pick and why?’

73. ‘What’s your number one fear and why?’

74. ‘If a zombie apocalypse took place tomorrow, which 5 people would you choose to help you survive it?’

“Which person in this car would you choose as a phone-a-friend on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? And why?”

76. ‘What’s your favourite childhood memory?’

77. ‘What’s your earliest childhood memory?’

78. ‘What’s a secret you’ve told anybody before?’

79. ‘Of the people on this road trip, who would you marry, who would you avoid, and who would you trust with your life savings? And why?’

80. ‘What are you most grateful for in your life and why?’

Some people might have answers to these kinds of questions at the top of their heads; others might have to think carefully before they answer them. In either case, though, they should serve as awesome conversation starters.

30 Road Trip Trivia Games for Long Car Rides

Whether you’re heading to an amusement park with the family, spending the weekend at the lake with your friends, or traveling with coworkers on a much-dreaded work trip, you’re going to have a few lengthy car rides in front of you. Long car rides can either be a serious drag, or an opportunity for lots of fun.

How can you turn a long car ride into a fun and exciting time for everyone? By playing games! While it’s fun to come up with your own games on the fly, it’s always helpful to have a list of games you can pull from to always switch it up and keep things exciting.

Today, we’re going to cover 30 of the most fun road trip trivia games for long car rides and show you how you and your friends or family can play them on your next trip. From classics like 21 Questions and I Spy to new games that are sure to become instant favorites, you’ll find something for everyone on this road trip trivia list.

Best Road Trip Trivia Apps

It’s safe to assume there’s at least one smartphone among the people in the car, and that phone is a huge asset when it comes to road trip trivia. Here are some of the best trivia apps to check out on your next getaway.

Jeopardy! World Tour

World Tour is the latest mobile app from one of the greatest trivia games of all time. This is our favorite road trip trivia app because there’s an offline mode that you can enjoy even if your phone loses service along the way.

This app features a multiple-choice question format and various difficulty levels, making it a great road trip trivia for families option and easy to adapt to play with the other people in the car.

Plus, you can also play by yourself if the rest of the car isn’t up for another trivia round. If you’re armed with an encyclopedia of fun facts for car rides, you’ll want to try your luck at this fun and addicting trivia game.

This app is perfect for the car because it has an uncluttered interface with text that’s large enough for everyone to read. There are tons of categories and questions in the app, which can provide you with hours of road trip trivia fun.

Psych is a play on classic party games like Balderdash! Where you must come up with the craziest answers to your friend’s questions to score points. If everyone in the car has a smartphone, you can all connect and play this hilarious game that will keep you entertained for hours.

Unfortunately, since everyone needs to use a smartphone to play the game, the driver can’t get in on the fun. That may be a good thing, since they’ll be able to focus on the road instead.

Guess The Song

This app is similar to SongPop 2, which is one of the most popular “name that tune” apps for Android and iOS, but where SongPop2 is more about online multiplayer competition, Guess The Song has a single-player mode which is easy to adapt so everyone in the car can play.

You can play together, or take turns to see who can name songs the fastest. There are plenty of playlists to choose from, with music ranging from the 60s to today.

Popcorn Trivia

If you’re in a car full of movie buffs, Popcorn Trivia is the perfect road trip trivia questions game for you. The game is free to play, and it features a vast library of different movie trivia questions from several different genres. You can compete against each other or together, and you can unlock new trivia packs from popular movies and TV shows with the points you earn in the game.

Road Trip Trivia Games

The trivia apps above are lots of fun, but you may not always have access to a smartphone with a strong signal during your road trip. Thankfully, road trip trivia has been around a lot longer than smartphones, so there are some great games you can play without the help of your phone.

We’ve assembled a list of some of the best and most fun classic road trip games for you and your squad to play as you’re making your way across the country.

Two Truths and a Lie

This fun-for-everyone game is always entertaining, and it’s a great way to get to know your fellow road trippers better. Two Truths and a Lie is perfect for playing with co-workers, friends, and family. All you need to do to win is separate fact from fiction.

Here’s How to Play

• Pick which passenger will start the game
• That passenger tells the car three statements. Two are true, and one is a lie
• The rest of the car tries to determine which statement is false
• Once the round is over, it’s the next passengers turn to tell Two Truths and a Lie

Would You Rather

Hands down one of the most fun games for the entire group is Would You Rather. This game is fun for the whole family, but it can be a real blast when the adults are playing. This game is one of our favorite road trip quizzes for couples since it’s a great way to get to know your partner while also passing the time while driving.

• Each question much follow the Would You Rather format
• Make sure that each question you ask presents a serious dilemma

Here are some Would You Rather road trip questions to get started with:

• Would you rather eat chicken every day for a year, or not be able to eat chicken at all?
• Would you rather be 10 minutes late everywhere you go, or 20 minutes early?
• Would you rather absolute freedom or absolute safety?
• When you die, if you could be reborn, would you rather exist in the future or the past?
• Would you rather spend a year in prison or a year in a hospital?
• Would you rather be the most gullible person in the world or lose the ability to tell a lie?
• Would you rather go to the past to meet your ancestors, or to the future to meet your future relatives?

Would You Rather can also be a silly and fun game if you’re traveling with children. If there are kids in the car, here’s some Would You Rather questions that are perfect for them:

21 Questions

From young kids to grandparents, 21 Questions is a classic game everyone can enjoy. This game of deduction requires passengers to guess the person, place, or thing that the player is thinking of, using a maximum of 21 questions to figure it out.

Here’s how to Play

• The first player thinks of a person, place, or thing
• The rest of the players can ask up to 21 questions to figure out what the first player is thinking of
• The first player responds with yes or no answers to each question they’re asked
• If the rest of the car can’t figure out the answer in 21 questions, player one wins
• If someone correctly guesses the answer within 21 questions, that person becomes the next to choose a person, place, or thing

Name That Tune

If you’re traveling with a bunch of music enthusiasts, Name That Tune can be one of the most fun games to play. All you’ll need is an app like Spotify or Apple Music (or someone in the car with an extensive music library.)

Here’s How To Play

• Appoint one person in the car as the host for that round
• That person finds a popular playlist and plays a song
• The other passengers try and guess the song as quickly as possible
• If a passenger says “pass,” the host moves on to the next song
• Whoever guesses correctly first gets the point

The Bad Movie Plot Game

This hilarious game is perfect for a car full of movie buffs, and it’s a great way to pass the time during long car rides. The premise is simple: you must guess the name of the movie based on an incredibly poor plot description from the host.

• The host of the game thinks of a movie
• The host describes the plot of the movie correctly, but in the worst way possible
• The rest of the car tries to guess the correct movie
• Whoever guesses correctly becomes the host of the next round

Here are a few examples:

• Talking gremlin convinces a son to murder his father (Star Wars Episode V)
• Family abandons their troublemaker son on Christmas vacation in hopes robbers will abduct him (Home Alone)

The Movie Game

This game is another one that’s tons of fun for movie buffs. In The Movie Game, participants take turns naming movies and actors until one of the participants is stumped.

• The last remaining player is the winner of the round

Questions, Questions, Questions

Is there a lull in conversation? This game is a great way to get the juices flowing and get some more energy in the car. Playing Questions, Questions, Questions is as simple as asking fun and intriguing questions to the other people in the car. This game is a great way to get to know your crew even better than you do now.

Here are a few great examples to get the conversation going again:

• What is the most interesting thing you saw online this week?
• If you were a gifted scientist with unlimited resources, what would you study and why?
• What person, alive or dead, would you like to have dinner with and why?

Smurfing is a great way to get everybody laughing while passing the time on a long car ride. In this game, the player will need to guess the action that the rest of the car has come up with as quickly as possible by asking a series of questions.

• The player must cover their ears while the rest of the car comes up with an action
• Once the car has come up with an action, the player must try to guess that action by asking questions. In the questions, “smurf” is the stand-in for the action.
• Ex. When is the best time to smurf? Does smurfing make you sweat? Do you smurf inside or outside?
• The player must guess the action in as few questions as possible

Fortunately, Unfortunately

This fun game requires a bit of imagination, so it’s perfect for playing with the kids. It’s an easy game to keep going for hours, and the more crazy and imaginative you are, the more fun it is to play.

• The first player begins with a statement that starts with “Fortunately…”
• The next player follows up that statement with a statement beginning with “Unfortunately…”

This game is a fun variation on 21 Questions, and it’s fun to play with friends, family, or the kids. With a little bit of logic and some deductive questioning, contestants must identify the famous person the rest of the car is thinking of.

• The contestant must cover their ears or listen to music while the rest of the car decides on a famous person
• The contestant then asks yes or no questions to figure out who the famous person is

Truth or Dare

One of the most classic games to cure boredom on long car rides, Truth or Dare, is especially fun to play with your friends. This classic game is about as simple as it gets.

• The first contestant is asked to choose either truth or dare
• If the contestant selects truth, they’ll be forced to answer any question truthfully
• If the contestant selects dare, they must complete a dare posed by one of the other contestants
• The game continues on to the next contestant

The Counting Game

This silly game is perfect for families, and it’s a great way to pass the time during long road trips. The purpose of the game is to get to the highest number possible without any two players saying the same number at once.

• The game begins when a player says the number one
• The remaining players have five seconds to say number two
• If more than one person says the next number at the same time, the game ends, and you restart from one

The Song Lyric Game

This fun game is a great way for music buffs to stay entertained on a road trip. Face off with your fellow road trippers in a lyric battle for the right to control the stereo.

• Players must sing the lyrics to the current song on the stereo for one minute
• The first player to successfully nail every lyric in the song for a minute straight can control the stereo
• Once another player is able to sing a minute’s worth of lyrics to whatever song is on, they gain control of the stereo

Do you have the best taste in music in the car? Put your style to the test against your friends or family in this fun battle game. In order to play, you’ll need at least three people, so this game is perfect for families and groups of friends.

• First, appoint someone in the car as the judge
• The judge picks a music category i.e., pop, hip hop, rock, etc.
• The remaining people in the car take turns playing the “best” song from that category
• The judge awards a point to whichever person plays the best song

The Rhyming Game

• The next player must repeat the sentence backward
• Each player gets the point for every correct backward sentence
• The player with the most points after five minutes wins the game

If you’re surrounded by people with great imaginations, this game is bound to be loads of fun. Each person in the car adds a new sentence to the story, and before you know it, you and your crew will have weaved a crazy tale that’s sure to get everyone laughing and having fun.

• The remaining players must decide if the story is real or fake
• The first player to guess correctly receives a point

This fun game adds a spin to the bad movie plot game we mentioned earlier. Can you guess which movie they’re thinking of from a single sentence?

• The first player explains why they were late by describing the plot of a movie in a single sentence
• Ex. “Sorry I’m late, I was saving the world from an alien invasion on the Fourth of July” (Independence Day)
• The remaining players take turns guessing which movie the first player was talking about
• Whoever answers correctly becomes the next contestant in the game

The Going on Vacation Game

How good is your memory? This game is a great way to see which member of your party is the best at remembering fine details, and it’s lots of fun to play. Each player adds a new item to the list when it’s their turn, and it’s up to the next player to remember everything on the list, in order.

• The first player starts by saying “I’m going on vacation and I’m bringing…” and adds an item
• I.E., I’m going on vacation, and I’m bringing a T-shirt
• The next player must repeat the sentence, the first item, and then add an additional item
• The game continues until a player can’t remember all of the other items on the list

This classic game is fun for the whole family, and it’s one that practically everyone already knows how to play.

• The first player selects an object from the car or countryside
• The player then says “I spy with my eye something beginning with the letter [first letter of object]
• The other players take turns guessing what the item is
• Each correct guess earns a point
• The player with the most points at the end of the game wins

Silence is golden, and that’s especially true for parents who are trying to find some peace from their kids during a road trip. This game couldn’t be any easier to play. The object is to remain quiet for as long as possible. Whoever goes the longest without making a sound wins!

Top 10 Road Trip Games for a Long Drive

T he humble road trip has historically been depicted in nearly every movie genre and countless songs. To some, it may even be considered a significant American pastime and cultural activity. Although traveling has changed in innovative ways (hello, airplanes), road trips are still a popular way to get around. Whether travelers are road-tripping to save money, exploring the great outdoors or simply due to a fear of planes, there is no reason the long journey ahead has to be boring. 

Families and friends embark on road trips to tighten their bonds and explore the open road together all the time. While that may sound like a drag to some, there is always a way to liven up the crowd (in the car). Fun activities have been a part of long road trips since the first “ Are we there yet ” was ever muttered. In between rest stops and bathroom breaks, here are the best ways to keep a road trip group occupied. These games, for both traditional and modern tastes, will keep the group morale up and bored groaning down. 

Classic Games

These games will be fun for an array of age groups. With practically no props, cards, or complicated instructions, these classic games will surely excite road trippers. These games are free to play and either utilize the environment or are an opportunity to get to know other travelers better. 

I Spy 

I Spy is one of the most popular classic road trip games travelers can play. The game goes like this: one person picks a thing (person, place, animal etc.), and then the rest of the travelers try to guess the thing. Once the object is selected, the first person picking says, “I spy with my little eye…(insert vague description of the object)” and the game begins. This game is very interactive because everyone is in a moving vehicle, so they have to pay close attention since the object can be big or small. As the object can be challenging to find, some travelers prefer to set rules so the game is not never-ending. We recommend setting the rule that the object has to be in the car. 

Punch Buggy… No Punch Back!

This game is known to many and can start a bit of controversy (if travelers do not abide by the rules of the game). To play punch buggy, travelers should try to spot a Volkswagen Beetle on the roads. Once a Beetle is spotted, a traveler can turn to the person beside them (or an especially targeted victim like a sibling) and give them a light punch in the arm while they say punch buggy. But travelers should be sure to end their proclamation with “no punch back,” so their punch victim cannot use the same car to get them back. 

Since these types of cars are a bit less common after they were discontinued around 2019, this game can be fascinating and spontaneous. This game can be played constantly and is more of a long-term passer of time, but the surprising gotcha moments never get old. 

20 Questions 

20 Questions is another excellent way to pass the time while traveling in the car. To play, one player picks an object, person, place, or thing, and then the other players must guess it correctly to win. But the trick is that the other players can only ask yes or no questions. Within 20 questions, the other players try to guess the thing that has been selected successfully, and if they do not guess it correctly, the selecting player wins. This game is similar to I Spy but is a bit more complex since the object does not have to be close by, and the other players accumulate clues through their questions.

For music lovers, this game will be an intriguing activity. To get a fair mix of music, travelers should listen to the radio, not a specially tailored playlist that one person knows by heart. Once the jams are playing, everyone in the car should try to guess the artist or group that is playing. 

No cheating (aka secretly Shazaming the songs) is allowed. Players who guess correctly score a point. There are many different ways to play this game, so some groups may prefer to create teams or have everyone play individually. Some groups even change the radio station every few minutes or make it harder to win by setting the goal amount of points higher. Either way, those who are musically inclined will appreciate this game.

Two Truths and a Lie

Whether traveling with family or friends, Two Truths and a Lie is sure to be a fun game to play during a road trip. The game can be easy or hard to play depending on how well the fellow travelers know each other, which means this game can be a great opportunity to get to know fun facts about each other. Upon their turn, each player should think of two truths and one lie about themselves. Players can be imaginative or tell quirky facts about themselves to confuse opponents. Once they are announced, other players try to call the player’s bluff and call out the lie. Those who guess the lie correctly score points, but if the lie is never guessed, the player with the lie gets the point. 

Modern Games 

These types of games are technologically advanced and offer something for everyone. These mobile games are perfect to help pass the time and engage the whole family (or group). Travelers should be sure to charge their devices and connect them to car WiFi or cellular data to play these games. 

Trivia 

While trivia is nothing new, road trippers are playing trivia more modernly. While the concept of asking questions about niche subjects or topics stays the same, the updated version of trivia involves the game Trivia Crack. Instead of sourcing trivia questions the traditional way , by thinking of them or finding them in trivia books, travelers can instead use an app. 

Trivia Crack , one of the most popular trivia games available as an app, is a great addition to road trips. Trivia Crack 2 is an updated version that allows users to play as a team or individually. To conquer the thousands of trivia questions and categories on the app, players can take turns reading out the questions and award the team or person with the most knowledge as the winner. 

Heads Up 

This classic game has had a digital makeover. Travelers should acquire the Heads Up app to get the fun rolling. To play, one player uses their mobile phone and places it above their head. Once the game begins, a word (or person, place or thing, depending on the selected category) is shown on the screen. The person holding the phone can not see the word and tries to guess it based on the clues the other players give them. Without saying the actual word, other players try to help the person guess. Players can play the game on teams and alternate who holds the phone, but ultimately this collaborative game picks your brain.

Karaoke 

Karaoke is a fun activity for many, which traditionally is not a game. But now, singing whizzes can enjoy a family-friendly version of karaoke while in the car. Sing! Karaoke is one of the top-rated karaoke apps available. With this app, travelers can sing along to some of the most famous road trip songs or even their favorite songs. The app provides song lyrics and professional voice effects and has different karaoke settings like solo, duet, and group songs. 

The Movie Game 

This game is for long road trips with a car full of people. It technically has no end, so it often ends with the group reaching their destination. It is a mix of the alphabet game (where people search for objects by each alphabet letter) and a simple movie marathon. Going in alphabetical order, each member of the group gets to select a movie starting with a letter of the alphabet. They get to select whatever movie they want (which is age-appropriate) as long as it starts with the correct letter. This game is fun since it allows players to get out of their entertainment comfort zones.  

Switch Games 

The Nintendo Switch is a gaming system that has become popular for its portability. So, it is no surprise that many travelers take their Switches nearly everywhere they go. Since the console quickly switches between home (or traditional television use) and on-the-go gaming, it is a fun option for long car rides. Once charged, the console can be used for multiplayer gaming for a few hours. The Joy-cons, which detach from the base screen, serve as controllers and allow wireless play. A popular choice is Super Mario Party, which can be played with up to four players.

Reds hope home is the cure for three-game skid in opener against Angels

The Cincinnati Reds return home after an up-and-down six-game road trip and open a three-game set against the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night.

The Reds won their first three games of the trip, outscoring the Chicago White Sox 27-5 to record their first sweep of the season.

But then Cincinnati was outscored 17-5 and lost three in a row against the Seattle Mariners.

On Wednesday, the Reds managed just one hit – an Elly De La Cruz solo home run in the second – and a walk before Seattle pitching retired the final 22 Reds in order.

“Three games don’t define our team by any means,” Reds manager David Bell said after Wednesday’s setback.

Reds top prospects Who is Cam Collier? Cincinnati Reds infield prospect was 2022 first-round pick

Cincinnati, which is already missing TJ Friedl (wrist) and Matt McLain (shoulder), didn’t have first baseman Christian Encarnacion-Strand and third baseman Jeimer Candelario in the series finale due to illness.

“Of course we want everyone here,” Bell said. “We want everyone healthy. But all teams go through this, and our team fully expected to go out and win.”

The Reds (9-9) did not officially announce their starting pitcher ahead of Friday’s series opener in Cincinnati but were expected to turn to left-hander Nick Lodolo.

The Angels will send left-hander Tyler Anderson (2-1, 1.47 ERA), who will make his fourth start and third on the road this season. Anderson is in his ninth season and second with the Angels.

In his last start on Sunday in Boston, Anderson took the loss after allowing three runs on four hits over 4 1/3 innings, striking out four and walking three.

Anderson is 2-1 with a 3.31 ERA in six career appearances (four starts) against Cincinnati.

Lodolo is coming off his season debut after a long recovery from a broken tibia. Against the Chicago White Sox last Saturday, Lodolo pitched 5 2/3 innings, allowing no runs on one hit while striking out 10 and walking only one in a 5-0 Reds victory.

The Angels (9-10) are looking to finish their 10-game road trip on a successful note. After dropping two of three in Boston, Los Angeles split four games against the Tampa Bay Rays, including its 2-1 loss Thursday.

Mike Trout leads the American League with eight homers but generated the Angels’ only run when he walked in the sixth, stole two bases and scored on Miguel Sano’s sacrifice fly.

“That’s just what he does. That’s a part of his game,” Angels manager Ron Washington said. “That’s a part of his skill set. It doesn’t always have to be when he hits balls out of the ballpark. Get on first, steal second, steal third and got a run.”

Taylor Ward has six homers and a team-leading 21 RBIs for the Angels, who were held without a home run Thursday for just the second time in their first 19 games.

Los Angeles showed some resiliency Wednesday, one night after losing four leads from the ninth inning on and falling 7-6 in 13 innings to Tampa Bay. The Angels trailed 4-3 heading into the ninth before rallying for a 5-4 win.

Los Angeles announced Wednesday that 31-year-old reliever Robert Stephenson, a former Reds first-round draft pick who was signed to a three-year, $33 million deal in the offseason, will miss this season due to an elbow injury.

Stephenson missed most of spring training with a sore shoulder before feeling elbow discomfort just four pitches into his first Triple-A rehab outing last Saturday.
