This summer you may find yourself participating in the grand American tradition of the road trip.

It could be to see the National Parks, Aunt Bertha and Uncle Hiram, or even trekking on ol’ Route 66.



Whatever your travels have in front of you, we’ve got some advice on how to pass the time and get there safely! (And hopefully the kids won’t kill each other in the backseat…)

MISCELLANEOUS Q1. Group Games: Sometimes car games can get a little repetitive, which can be good and bad for ticking off time on the road. For example, what game title starts the iconic phrase “with my little eye, something beginning with {INSERT LETTER}”?



SCIENCE & TECH Q2. Tech Terms: Traditionally Apple portable music players focused on downloaded songs and albums. As live programming came to the platform, BBC journalist Ben Hammersley coined what term for chatty, longer-form stuff that is now one of the most popular road trip pastimes?



MISCELLANEOUS Q3. Vehicular Violence: Punch buggy, also known as slug bug, gives an opportunity for light car violence. The rules are simple: yell the name of the game and hit a fellow passenger's shoulder when you spot a particular car from what Euro automaker?



MISCELLANEOUS Q4. Top Titles: Audiobooks are a great option. If you’re looking for something the whole family can enjoy Goodreads list of the best audiobooks ever has what seven installment box set ranked as #1?



MISCELLANEOUS Q5. Savory Stops: Unless you’re rocking an EV, you’re going to have to stop for gas at some point. If you’re also craving a brisket sandwich and a very clean restroom, you should stop at what Texas-based mega filling station with a beaver mascot?



SOCIAL STUDIES Q6. State Sayings: Trying to find all 50 states’ license plates is a goodie. Some of the more popular mottos include “Virginia is for Lovers” or what New England state’s “Live Free or Die”?



MISCELLANEOUS Q7. Fun Formats: Our family always played that the inquisitions could be in any form. But many people require that you start what yes/no game with either “Animal, vegetable or mineral?” or “Is it bigger than a breadbox”?



SCIENCE & TECH Q8. Retro Radios: If you’re driving an old car, it’s really fun to give another driver the “10-4” when they let you know that “Smokey” is just up the road via CB radio. What does CB stand for?



POP CULTURE Q9. Annoying Asks: A 2005 Ice Cube and Nia Long comedy canonized what dreaded four-word kiddo road trip question?



Q10. I’m not trying to jinx you, but you should be prepared in case you have a flat tire. AAA is a good option, but if you have to change it yourself you’re going to need what mechanical lifting device that shares its name with Margaret Qualley’s husband?



TIEBREAKER Vehicular Vacations: Obviously you could choose to fly for your next vacation, but who wants to do that? According to Hilton’s 2026 Trends Report, what percentage of Americans plan to drive on their next vacation?
