Medieval times is A Knight’s Tale (with Heath Ledger). Movie Mashup: A caped adventure in Medieval times.Įxplanation: A caped adventure is The Dark Knight (Batman movie). It’s easier to give examples than try to explain it further, so here you go:

(You can play with book titles, song titles, or TV shows, too.) In this game, you think of a movie title that begins where another title ends, and then give a mash-up of their descriptions. Movie Mashup is similar to the Synopsis Showdown game, but it takes it to the next level. What’s great about this game is there are many ways to describe the same book or movie, so it can really go on and on, no matter how expansive your mental collection is. Synopsis: A man twirls a baby around and holds it above his head while people cheer. Synopsis: A witty young woman butts heads with a stubborn rich man until they realize they love each other. Synopsis: A young girl dresses as a boy to protect her father and ends up protecting an emperor.


You can be literal or silly with your descriptions. The game is to describe your own synopsis for a popular book or movie and your travel partner has to guess what it is. We call this one Synopsis Showdown, though I think many people have played a version of this game. Let us know if you’re familiar with these games and play along in the comments at the end! So, we made up our own title for the game. Some of these are road trip versions of board games, while others we just picked up or thought of along the way.Īnd it’s possible the ones we “thought up” are actual games we just picked up on but didn’t know the name of.

I think I’ve even gotten a few Punch Buggy slugs from my passenger.īut we’ve learned about or thought of several road trip games for adults that keep our brains working (and our arms less sore). It’s funny because sometimes we resort to games we played as children, like 20 Questions and even I Spy. In these long, unchanging stretches, we like to play road trip games. Jennifer and I love the open road but there are times when the scenery is, well, redundant.
