Remember the days “when I spy with my eye” or “the alphabet game” used to be our favorite games for a car ride? Well, those days are gone! With the advancement in technology, our ways of commuting and staying entertained have dramatically changed. It is pretty easy to stay hooked from car TVs to mobile games and portable entertainment options during a long journey. If you are planning a long trip with your family, we have quite the fix for you. This article will provide you with a description of some really cool, free car game applications that are ideal for passing the time on a long drive. Just pick the ones that suit you and start playing!
What If
What If tops the list because of its simplicity and easy-to-use interface. The gameplay is relatively simple, and you do not need hi-fi knowledge to play. This game is also a great way to keep communication in the car sparking.
You will find a series of questions starting from ‘What if’ and everyone has to share their opinion. You can also ask one question individually from each person. It is a great way to interact with your loved ones, with everyone expressing their thoughts on some randomly generated questions. However, little kids won’t be as interested in this game as someone older would. Teenagers usually like to express their thoughts with games.
Trivia Crack 2
We all love challenging trivia. Trivia Crack 2 is one of the best games if you love to expand general knowledge and know-how about the trends. This game is suitable for everyone – even little ones over 4 years of age. So when your little toddlers can join in, you can join in, and your partner can join in. This game can keep you entertained even if you are on a long journey from North Dakota to Dollywood.
The game has 6 different categories for trivia, and there are thousands of questions for the users to answer. The graphics are spectacular, and you will never run out of questions. One downfall of this game is that it’s available on iOS only. So, Android users, you may want to skip this one.
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?
Never knew that our favorite show when growing up would one day be a mobile game. This game is an absolute stunner, especially if you like to play by yourself. Challenge your knowledge and see how far you can go using your general knowledge and lifelines.
They have collectible characters for your avatar and different unlockable features as you progress along with the game. You can also join other teams to go further in the game. One of the best things about Who Wants to Be a Millionaire is that it is available offline. Forget using plenty of mobile data or draining your mobile battery when you can play offline.
Song Pop 2
Every road trip is incomplete without music. Not many people will find this game interesting, but Song Pop 2 is the best game if you are a music enthusiast. It is a music quiz app loved by plenty of people around the world. You can compete with your travel buddies and guess the songs being played in the app. Just connect your phone with the car stereo and let everyone join in.
Listen to the songs and answer the question as fast as you can. From queen Beyonce to chocolate boy Justin Bieber, Song Pop 2 covers a vast genre of music. For classic music lovers, there are vintage collections as well. While the standard version is just as fun, you can also unlock more features with VIP mode.
Family Game Travel Pack Lite
Imagine that you are in the car off to visit Gatlinburg attractions, and there is nothing to talk about. The journey could get super tedious in a few minutes. You can simply break the silence in the car with the Family Fame Travel Pack. This app is a combination of 50 different games – Chess, Crazy Eights, Sudoku, you name it! If you want to enjoy it with your family, ask them to download the app and connect via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Just don’t ask the driver to play it!
Although these games are a perfectly normal time pass, the journey will pass by really quickly when you play it with your dear ones in the car. These games are also available offline, so you can easily play them by yourself.
Angry Birds
Angry Birds immediately gained popularity from the time it was launched. Since the launch, a lot has been introduced in the market. Everything is just a reminder that Angry Birds are still in the game, from games to movies and stuffed toys.
In this game, you have to use the slingshot to release the birds at objects in front of them. Take the objects down and move to the next level. Angry Birds can be played solo or with multiple players online.
Pictoword
Word games are excellent travel partners for passengers. This one is also among one of the best in the market. This app displays two images that, when combined, represent a single word. You are required to spell out the word from the letters scrambled underneath.
While this game is perfectly entertaining if you want to play alone. However, take help from your partner passengers or just pass the phone around.
Chess.com
Chess is a perfectly excellent brain teaser whether you are playing it on board or on the phone online. You can take a challenge against millions of people online who are just as good as you. Remember that this game is online, and it requires a good-quality Internet connection since you are playing live.
It allows you to add friends and challenge them on the go. Include your fellow passengers in the game during the travel. Chess tournaments are also conducted online, where winners get bonus points. Chess.com also has different puzzles and tutorial videos to help improve your skills.
Fun Run 3
If you have a family data plan, Fun Run 3 is one of the best games to play during the trip. This online multiplayer game also lets you compete with different players from around the world. All you have to do is control the characters with simple commands like jump (up and down), duck, and slide. Three online players are required, and the first one to reach the end wins the game.
The faster you run the more points you are going to get at the end of the game. Suppose you are an only child staying at Pigeon Forge cabins on your next trip to Dollywood. In that case, this game will keep you entertained throughout the journey and even during the stay.
Psych
We all love Ellen De Generes. She just brings joy to everyone’s face every day. If you are a fan, this game will undoubtedly become your travel partner in the longer run.
After the success of her other game, Heads Up, Psych is a great entertainer. It is great for holiday parties but a perfect source of entertainment for long drives. You can choose from 4 decks: truth game, word game, movie trivia, and a facts game.
Heads Up
Heads Up is another considerably successful game by our very own Ellen. This is a perfect game for those who love to play guessing games. All you have to do is hold the phone on your head with the screen facing towards the other person. Your fellow passenger will give you hints until you guess the right word. Tilt the phone up if the answer is correct or down if you want to skip it to the next word. This game is extremely popular, and if Sheldon Cooper can play it with Penny, we all can play it on a little road trip.
Conclusion
Road trips can be really boring if there is no proper source of entertainment. You can make your trip fun-filled by installing different games on your smartphone or tablet. We have compiled a list of some of the best games available on the Play Store and App Store. This list consists of the most popular games among the users. You can either pick one or download multiple games depending upon the length of your journey. Even if you don’t want to play with other passengers, it’s perfectly fine to play solo.
