Got a long road trip ahead? Keep the boredom at bay with these fun car games that require no Wi-Fi!

I Spy

Start simple and classic with I Spy! One person says, "I spy something [color] starting with [letter]." The others then take turns guessing what it could be. Perfect for all ages.

Two Truths and a Lie

This game can go on indefinitely if everyone is good at fibbing! Each player shares two truths about themselves and one lie. Everyone else tries to guess which statement is the fib. Great for getting to know new people.

My favorite food is pizza, I love to travel, and I have a pet octopus.

Never Have I Ever

This game can get quite hilarious! Each player takes turns saying something they've never done. If someone has done it before, they have to take a drink (or do another penalty like singing a song). Check out our Never Have I Ever section for some fun questions!

I’ve eaten sushi with my hands.

The Alphabet Game

One of the best road trip games that doesn’t require any special materials. The first person starts by saying a word that begins with A, the next B, and so on until you reach Z. If someone says a word out of order or can't think of one in time, they're eliminated!

Twenty Questions

One person thinks of something, and everyone else tries to guess what it is by asking up to 20 yes-or-no questions. The person who guesses right wins! It's a great way to spark conversation.

Pictionary

Even without paper and pens, you can still play Pictionary by using your phone or tablet as a canvas. Take turns drawing something, and others try to guess what it is. If no one guesses in time, pass the turn!

Would You Rather

This game is perfect for sparking debate and laughs. Someone asks "Would you rather [option A] or [option B]?" and everyone shares their choice. Dive into some funny options at our Would You Rather section.

Would you rather have the ability to fly or be invisible?

Date Night

This is a twist on the classic dating game. Players ask each other questions about their preferences in a relationship, movies, and more. It’s great for getting personal stories and interesting facts from everyone! Check out our Date Night section for some of these questions.

What's your favorite way to spend a weekend?

Pickup Sticks

This old school game can be easily recreated with anything you have on hand—straws, sticks, or even pencils. The first person lays down 30 items in a pile without making them all touch the ground. Players then take turns picking up one item at a time without moving any others.

Scavenger Hunt

Create a list of things to spot along your trip, like certain types of cars, road signs, or landmarks. The first person to find everything on their list wins!
