Talking is great, sure, but a little entertainment never hurt when you&#8217;ve got (likely) double-digit hours to kill. Between all the card games, DVDs, and offline Steam games played on a Chromebook, fresh entertainment can be difficult to conjure. But, no need to fret.<\/p>\n<h2>There are fun adult road trip games out there.<\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re on a budget, or if you\u2019re over online gaming in the car, check out these cool road trip games. They\u2019re not exactly Words With Friends but they\u2019re certainly entertaining for those a little (or not so much) more mature.<\/p>\n<h3>Smurfing<\/h3>\n<p>Pick a guesser. They put their hands over their ears. Then, everyone else decides upon a verb. The \u201cguesser\u201d removes their hands. The guesser is allowed to ask questions about the verb\u2014only they need to call it smurfing. As a result, you\u2019ll see questions like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When was the last time you\u2019ve smurfed?<\/li>\n<li>Is it appropriate to smurf right now?<\/li>\n<li>Can you smurf outside?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It\u2019s a pretty fun game, and it can result in some entertaining conversations.<\/p>\n<h3>Who Am I?<\/h3>\n<p>For this one, you\u2019ll need a post-it note and a pen. Write the name of someone famous\u2014or a fiction character\u2014on the note. Put it on someone\u2019s forehead. Then, the same person needs to ask yes or no questions to figure out the person\u2019s identity. The fewer questions asked, the more points!<\/p>\n<h3>The Movie Game<\/h3>\n<p>This game is simple, but it\u2019s a blast for movie buffs. One person names an actor. A second person names a movie they were in. Then, the first person names another actor in that movie. The process goes back and forth until someone can\u2019t answer.<\/p>\n<h3>The Vehicle Call-Out Game<\/h3>\n<p>In this game, the objective is to identify an oncoming car\u2014or truck\u2014make and model. Whoever calls out the identifying features first wins. This game is really fun at night, as oncoming headlights make the vehicle hard to identify.<\/p>\n<h3>The ABC Game<\/h3>\n<p>This game might be from your childhood, but it\u2019s fun when you\u2019re older, too. Find signs starting with every letter of the alphabet. You need to start with A. If you\u2019re playing with multiple people, give a point to people whenever they score a sign. At the end of the game, round up the points to see who\u2019s won.<\/p>\n<h3>The Four Yorkshiremen Monty Python Game<\/h3>\n<p>Straight from a Monty Python script, the Four Yorkshiremen game is great for long-haul trips. One person tells a fact about how hard it was growing up. Then, the next person tries to \u201cone up\u201d them. Then, another person goes. Eventually, you\u2019ll wind up telling tales of childhood\u2014bonding over a car full of misery. Well, it\u2019s fun for some people. Just make sure you\u2019re all okay with sharing gritty details.<\/p>\n<h3>Guess the Quote<\/h3>\n<p>In this game, one person says a quote from a movie, a television show or a song. Then, everyone else needs to guess it. Whoever guesses the quote\u2019s origin first gets a point.<\/p>\n<h3>Guess the Song<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re in a car of song buffs, try this game on for size. One person changes the radio until a song they know comes on. Then, the game starts. Whoever guesses the song\u2019s name, and artist, first wins! This game can go on for hours, and it\u2019s a great way to learn new music.<\/p>\n<h3>Use Ask Reddit<\/h3>\n<p>Go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reddit.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reddit.com<\/a> and go to the Ask &#8216;Sub-Reddit&#8217;. Sort the questions by most popular and start asking questions from the top. You\u2019ll be surprised by some of the answers your car-mates will have. If you feel insecure about your answers, browse the comments section and quickly regain your confidence.<\/p>\n<h3>Dungeons and Dragons<\/h3>\n<p>No, you don\u2019t need to have the driver rolling dice in the car. You can, however, have a passenger play the role of Dungeon Master while the rest roll dice. Go easy on the driver, and make a small game which doesn\u2019t need too many maps.<\/p>\n<h4>These might be adult road trip games by trade, but most are also suitable for children.<\/h4>\n<p>That said, the kids might not be as sharp (yet) with some options. Pack up some dice, bring your music game and have a smartphone with service. The rest is up to you.<\/p>\n<p>See you out there <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etags.com\/blog\/best-cross-country-road-trip-map\/\">on the open road<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>H\/T <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/AskReddit\/comments\/1avd42\/what_is_your_favorite_way_to_pass_time_on_a_road\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Reddit<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019re over the days of &#8220;I Spy.&#8221; If you\u2019re like most road trippers, you\u2019re probably in your post-college years.
