While You Were Sleeping
—This one takes advantage of sleepy passengers because they should have followed the roadtrip commandments and gotten rest the night before! Within this game, the non-sleeping passengers let the drowsy passenger fall asleep...for a minimum of 5 minutes… Then you start creating a story of what the sleeping passenger missed, each taking a turn adding a section. Once the passenger wakes up you have to get them to believe the story! If they are passed out, feel free to wake them up by saying, “You missed it!” and then start with your story. If anyone breaks character they lose one point. If you succeed in convincing them you all get 3 points, but if the passenger catches on, they get 3 points. The most points at the destination wins! (I know someone who got snookered into believing they had missed seeing Madonna…not sure if they were ever told that it was a game!)
21 QUESTIONS
—One roadtripper volunteers and the other passengers take turns asking the volunteer a question. You can't ask the same question twice and the volunteer can only pass on two questions. When the 21 are up, they pick who is next. Depending on the time before your next stop and other factors, you can play “10 Questions” vs. twenty-one.
Fortunately/Unfortunately
—This game puts things in perspective by allowing you to see theres always good in even perceived bad circumstances. ne person starts by saying something has happened that was fortunate. The next person in turn has to say something unfortunate about the same thing the last person said was fortunate. Keep going until someone stumbles with the wrong start or takes more than three seconds to come up with the next part of the story. Then they are “out.” Example: One person begins, “Fortunately, we brought plenty of food.” Next person: “Unfortunately, there's no more room in the cooler.” Next person: “Fortunately, we haven't gotten lost…” There is no limit to creative starts for this game. “Fortunately, I found a fifty-dollar bill on the sidewalk…” or, “Fortunately, my friend from elementary school found me on Facebook…” or, “Fortunately, I inherited my mother’s musical talent…”
Regional Food Master—Collect the most regional food items along your journey as possible from gas stations. At each gas station you must find one locally produced item—the hunt can provide surprising and humorous results, believe me. Memorable examples include gator jerky and spicy dried cacti. Whoever has the most examples wins at the end of the trip, and duplicate items don’t count.
The Counting Game—Seems simple, as one random person calls out “1” and everyone tries to count out loud collectively to reach 20. If two or more people start to say the same number at the same time, you pause 5 seconds and start over.
Battle of the Bands
—Two aspiring DJs compete while the other passengers give the challenges, such as “best classic rock song” or “best song about roadtrips.” The two competitors take turns playing their selection via their smartphone and the others vote. Creative challenges include using the state or region you are in: “Best song with ‘California’ in the lyrics,” for example, or challenge the DJs to see who can come up with the most songs containing a place found on your roadtrip.
Word Association
—One person begins with a word and you all take turns giving related words, and the game continues until someone messes up and says something unrelated. Keep in mind the words don’t have to be synonyms, but simply related, such as: beach, towel, water, sun, bikini, island, Cuba, cigar, and so forth.
