Road Trip is a map game about the 50 states. Pick a regional swing or the whole country. Plan the route by tapping states to read about them, then drive: tap the state on the ticket and the bus heads there. When the bus stops on its own, read the exit signs and say where you are.

Wrong exits are fine: the map shows which state you reached, and missed stops come back around at the end of each leg. Nothing is timed.
