On the Go Games Perfect for Your Next Road Trip
There are many different things you can play, no matter who you’re travelling with. Whether you’ll be on the roads with friends, family or even solo, there’s always a way to stay entertained and challenge yourself. Here are just a few of our favourite ideas for your next adventure.
Classic In-Car Games that Never Get Old
The old favourites are timeless for a reason. The likes of ‘Would You Rather’ are convenient and still highly popular. They can be adjusted according to the age and preferences of your group, and they don’t need any special equipment or preparation.
With a good sense of humour and a dash of creativity, verbal games can turn the journey into the most hilarious and memorable start to your holiday. Just remember not to get carried away if you’re doing the driving!
Printable and DIY Options
They might require a little bit of extra effort, but physical games like car bingo, scavenger hunts, and battleships are great hands-on entertainment options. Because they can be tailored with themes and funny details, they’re great for group trips and can easily be prepared before the trip starts.
If you know your travel companions, you can even personalise the games. Who knows, maybe a homemade quiz could be all the entertainment you’ll need.
Digital Entertainment
Just a quick disclaimer: don’t play any of these while you’re driving. Whether you’re on your own or with friends, there’s an enormous amount of digital gaming and entertainment content you can dive into while you’re on the road. Thanks to development in technology, you can stream pretty much anything, anywhere, and play a variety of games.
Some of the most popular games on the app store only take minutes at a time, which makes them perfect for quick coffee stops. For something a bit different to the usual apps, online arcade games are just as entertaining too.
Podcasts and Audiobooks
Finally, for a more relaxing ride, why not listen to some podcasts or audiobooks?
Along with providing a screen-free option that’s perfectly safe for drivers using Bluetooth connectivity, these mediums can be great conversation starters and could even incite a friendly debate or two between passengers.
There are so many different genres to choose from, too. Whether you’re interested in entrepreneurship or you’d rather belly laugh at some comedy, make sure to browse the podcast charts and choose your favourites before setting off.
Ready to pass the hours with ease? When you and your friends make an effort on the journey, any drive feels shorter. Buckle up and enjoy the ride!
