Road Trip Showdown
The license plate game. Look out the window; the phone keeps score.
How to play
Pick your home state, add the players, and set what the winner gets. When someone spots a plate, a passenger taps that player, then taps the state on the map. The announcer reads the score aloud so nobody has to look at the screen. The driver just drives.
| A state that borders home | 1 |
| A state one over from that | 2 |
| Any state farther away | 3 |
| Alaska | 4 |
| Mexico or Canada (not touching home) | 4 |
| Hawaii | 20 |
| Government plate, from anywhere | 1 |
| Wrong call, or calling the game by the wrong name | −2 |
The first time a place is called on a drive, it's worth double. Random power-ups triple everything for a few minutes. Whoever spots the most different places gets their total multiplied by 1.5. Temporary plates, military, tribal plates and Teslas never count.
Common questions
I can't hear the announcer. Check the volume, and that "Grandma reads the scores" is on. On iPhone, the announcer still speaks with the ring switch on silent.
I want a different voice. Tap Announcer on the home screen and try the voices on your device. You can add more under Settings › Accessibility › Spoken Content › Voices.
I scored the wrong thing. Tap Undo in the bar that appears for a few seconds after every score.
How do I start my collection over? Tap States collected on the home screen, then hold the reset button at the top.
