What’s the first road trip game? Well, that could be the first question!
A classic question-answer game, 20 Questions is bound to keep everyone in the car focused. To play, you start by coming up with a secret person, place, thing, or whatever else you want. Then, everyone else gets to ask 20 questions to try to guess what the thing is.
The trick is that the questions can only have yes-or-no answers. Players have to use their 20 questions to narrow down options until they finally have to make a final guess. It's a great game to keep everyone involved and thinking.

A classic for any road trip: The License Plate game
This is an absolute classic road trip game. The goal is for players to identify license plates from as many states as they can while you’re all on the road. This can be especially fun while going on a road trip through several states.
You can even add educational components to this one. Each player can have a map to keep track of states that they have seen plates from. This allows them to get a geography lesson while having fun and killing time on the road.
Let’s come up with some Hypotheticals

To play, simply come up with hypothetical questions that everyone else in the car will then answer. These can be things such as, "If you could have any superpower, what would it be?"
Each answer in Hypotheticals can provide a great point of conversation. Passengers can build on each other's answers or debate whose ideas are better. While playing, it will feel like long stretches of road are just flying by.
