How to play with this deck

One passenger holds the phone and reads the question, or taps Read aloud. Everyone picks one of the two options. No “neither,” no “both.” Each player gives one reason, then the reader swipes to the next card.

The driver can play the whole game by voice. Keep the phone with a passenger so the driver never glances at it.

Make it last the whole drive

Sixty questions in a row turns into a quiz. Play ten cards, then switch to something else and come back an hour later. Shuffle before each round so the same favorites don’t always come first.

A few ways to keep it fresh:

  • Predict the car. Before anyone answers, each player guesses which option the majority will pick. A correct guess earns a point.
  • Change one mind. Whoever picked the less popular side gets 30 seconds to convince one other person to switch.
  • Kids read. Hand the phone to a reader in the back seat. Being the one who reads the cards is a big job at age 7.
  • Save the good ones. When a card starts a long argument, note it and ask it again at dinner with the grandparents.

Which cards work for which ages

Younger kids like the cards about animals, food and wild vehicles: a car shaped like a hot dog, a dog that can drive. Tweens and teens pick up the trade-off cards, like one extra vacation day against an extra hour of sleep every night. Adults end up arguing about the drive itself: three days across the country or three weeks.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions are in the Would You Rather road trip deck?

The deck has 60 questions, all family-friendly and written for the car: travel superpowers, food stops, wild vehicles and places to visit. Shuffle gives you a new order each time.

Will the deck remember where we stopped?

Yes. Your position and shuffle order are saved on your phone, so you can close the page at a gas station and pick up on the same card. Nothing is sent anywhere.

Are these questions OK for young kids?

They're written for ages 5 and up, with nothing gross, scary or grown-up. For 3- and 4-year-olds, read the simpler animal and food cards and skip the ones about time travel or money.
