19 Fun Things For Couples To Do On A Road Trip

11. Guess That Flavor.

This one is a simple game that involves snack items that come in various flavors and tastes, such as packet chips, beef, and pepperoni sticks. Think of this as a fun way to have your snacks, and feed your beloved at the same time.

It’s very easy to play. Pick your favorite snacks that come in different flavors and tastes. Once it is time to have your snack while your boyfriend or girlfriend is driving, bring out the snacks. Tell them they are not allowed to look and must just focus on driving and being fed. Give them a bite, and they have to guess what the flavor of what you’ve just fed them is.

To make it even more exciting, you can add some fun prizes for getting so many right answers/guesses. Try to make them couple-themed answers to get your boyfriend/girlfriend very excited about their prize(s).

12. License Plates Game.

This traditional road trip game is a must to play on your couples’ road trip. The goal of the game is to see as many number plates from all 50 States as possible within a given time, and the rules are very simple. You mark off every number plate you see, and award points for who sees them first (or seeing them together, if you’re playing it cooperatively). Each State can only get one number plate.

You can play it competitively or cooperatively. All you need is a pen and paper. It will also be helpful to have a print-out of how license plates for all 50 States look like, to help you in crossing off the States that have been covered.

You can make it more exciting by adding fun variations to it such as how many green cars from Utah will you spot for instance. Your imagination is the only limit you have with coming up with fun variations to this game.

13. 20 (Relationship) Questions.

This is a twist to the traditional 20 Questions game that is usually played on road trips. The game is a good talking game to discuss your relationship. All it requires is that you ask each other 20 Questions about your relationship. Questions such as your partner’s favorite food, favorite place, things you would do together, and the likes. The beauty of the game is the room for creativity it allows you, in coming up with questions about your relationship that tells each other just how well/deeply you know yourselves.

14. Would You Rather Game.

This is another fun game where you get to ask your partner what things they would rather have and not have. For example, would you rather be stuck out in the desert with only your phone or with water? This game also allows you to come up with crazy scenarios and questions to get you and your partner to think about the things that matter to you individually.

15. I-Spy.

The I-Spy game is a fun game where each occupant in the car tries their hand at being a Sherlock Holmes. One player, in this case, you, tell your partner that you spot something beginning with a letter and ending with another letter. With those two vague clues, they have to guess what it is you spotted, and you will have to confirm if they were right or wrong. If they were right, you can reward them with a point or whatever other prizes you both agreed on.

16. Alphabet Game.

The Alphabet Game tests how many objects you can spot and make all 26 alphabets within a stipulated time. Once a player spots the word of interest, whether, on a billboard or a car number plate, they must call out the letter as well as the word it was taken from.

To make it even more exciting, it can be played in several variations such as reverse order where you start with the last letter of the alphabet and work backward to the first letter. Or a billboards variation where the only object you can pick out the letters from, are billboards and nothing else.

17. Two Truths And A Lie.

This fun party game can also be turned into a fun car game for couples. You have to make three statements about themselves, with two of them being true, and one being a lie. Your partner has to currently identify which of the statements are true and which one is the lie. Correct identification wins them an agreed prize. It’s a great way to learn more about each other.

18. Guess That Song.

This is another variant of the Guess That Flavor game. It’s also meant to test your music knowledge. Have a pre-planned music list either from your music library or from Spotify. Play the first part of the song for a few seconds, and your partner has to guess the name of the song as well as the artist who sang it. You can switch places to see who identifies the most songs and wins with the most points.

19. How Game Are You?

This is a fun card game for road trips. It’s a deck of 150 cards with questions, for thought-provoking discussions and debates on the road. The questions it comes with are a nice mix between very funny and just the right dose of serious. It is a great game for any road trip, whether it is a road trip with the family, a road trip with friends, or a road trip with just you and your boyfriend, girlfriend. It can be purchased on Amazon here.
