According to the product description, the game is ideal for road trip activities for kids ages 4 and up ... and comes with "160 large action-packed cards inside a sturdy steering wheel-shaped box that fits perfectly in the seat back pocket or door for easy storage."
"We bought this for our 16 hour car ride with 6 kids and 2 adults," read one five star review on Amazon. "It was a blast when everyone participated. One question had my wife in tears because of someone's answers. There's enough cards that we didnt run out after an hour and a few suggestive ones could be skipped only because we had a few under 10. (Most families probably wouldn't have an issue with them.) This game was our favorite part of the roadtrip. Highly recommend."
Shotgun Road Trip Game
Shotgun ... brought to you by What Do You Meme? ... is for kids 12+ and requires at least 2 players.
The group has to nominate "someone to be the card reader (person sitting shotgun, we’re lookin’ at you)," reads the product description, "if the car setup allows, you can rotate the reader. Read the card and play based on the prompt! Play until you reach your destination or until you stop for fast food."

"I bought this because my family spends a lot of time in the car and I have a wide range of kid ages. I keep these in my purse, and we actually play outside of the car, too. Some of the games are great for waiting in restaurants or doctor’s offices. We have even used them while waiting in between heats at my oldest’s swim meets," read one five star Amazon review. "The cards are very sturdy, too. They literally just get tossed into my purse without any special consideration and have held up perfectly. I definitely recommend these if you spend any length of time in the car or waiting around for things."

"I teach 6-8 grade special education. I’ve been using guess in 10 as my morning ice breaker all year and the kids LOVE it. It gets them engaged and asking questions. It also helps them with their social skills and is a great tool to teach them to come up with new and different questions to ask depending on the topics. It’s also educational! Sometimes they’ve never heard of the word, animal, or place on the topic card before so it gives them the opportunity to learn about something new! 5+ stars!" wrote one Amazon customer.

Either way ... this is a great option for killing time on a long road trip.
"Elevator action, ikaria warriors, nes metal gear solid, bubble bubble, and a few other games that make this an awesome buy. Games are old and outdated but good. The price is good No problems. I have not tried hooking it up to the t.v. Yet it’s light weight. Wish it had a battery life indicator. Feels flimsy but you get what you pay for. Over all, I would purchase this item again," wrote one five star reviewer on Amazon.
My Arcade Atari Pocket Player Pro
My Arcade Atari Pocket Player Pro features officially licensed Atari titles and bonus games.
The player comes with 100 video games ... titles include Asteroids, Centipede, Millipede, Breakout, Missile Command, Tempest and many more.
"I love this thing. I have a bunch of retro game consoles and also a portable Atari flashback from a few years ago (the wood panel version)," read one five star Amazon review. "This is actually better quality than the AtGames flashback portables. It's a bit heavier and the sound is much better. It just feels like better quality. The only thing the older AtGames version has over this is the SD card slot that lets you add roms so you can basically play any game you want on it (atari 2600 games, that is). If this had the SD slot, it would be perfect. Aside from that, it's great for the price."
