Frequently asked questions
What can couples play in the car on a short journey?
Short spoken games that finish before you park. A commute is twenty minutes, so anything with setup or a long arc is the wrong shape — quick rounds work far better.
Are these different from road trip games?
Yes. Road trip games assume hours; these are sized for a commute or a school run and finish in one journey.
