WELL BALANCED Road Trip Games for Adults - Car Games for Adults - Travel Games

I recently purchased the WELL BALANCED Travel Game for a long 10-hour road trip with my son, and I couldn't be happier with my choice! This game features 40 unique puzzles that kept us engaged and entertained on our journey. Not only did it help pass the time, but it also turned out to be an enjoyable bonding experience for both of us. We found ourselves laughing, collaborating, and celebrating our victories as we tackled each puzzle together. The variety of challenges kept things fresh, ensuring we didn’t lose interest. The compact design made it easy to pack, and the instructions are clear and accessible. I highly recommend this game for families looking to head out on a fun road trip together! It’s a great way to connect and have fun together.

My wife and I always played these sorts of games in the car. She, as a kid, really liked the game Crack the Case and then we both played Black Stories together also. Some of these initial ones are easy. The card will be like "5 pieces of coal, a scarf and a carrot are found in a yard" and you have to figure out how they came to be there. These are ones that an adult might be able to figure out from the beginning. But also there are very difficult ones where you must figure out the whole situation that is going on from basically nothing. There is one that is like "A woman feels awkward when Kate offers her a seat on the bus." and you have to ask a lot of questions. Like "do these people know each other before today?" "does it matter what anyone is wearing" "does it matter anyone's job?" "does she feel awkward because there is some sort of misunderstanding" and so on and so forth. We went through maybe 5 cards in 75 minutes with my 8th grader and 5th grader.. The 5th grader I think most likes to be the one reading the questions but everyone had fun. Let's be clear, this sort of puzzle isn't for everyone. You often reach a point where you're like "how is this possible, I have asked everything" and then you slowly start asking weird questions like "wait...if everyone a human? could this actually happen? is this from a storybook?" It's a weird sort of puzzle to through out on a Tuesday night, but it is a good sort of puzzle for a car ride. Important: the packaging makes it look like it is for kids. I'm only 5ish cards into this one and i dont want to spoil this for anyone but one of the puzzles involved the main character killing himself on purpose with a gun. There's more to it than that but I dont wait to spoil the puzzle.

So far I haven't been able to play the game, however it seems to be very interesting

Some of the questions are really far-fetched, but we did have fun with them while we were in a trip. I thought it was worth it.

We did not expect the topic of many of these riddles to be about death. We found it humorous. I wouldn’t recommend this for little kids or for people who don’t have a “dark” sense of humor. The riddles were about several different subjects, but many were about people dying and how they died. I guess it was funny because we didn’t expect it. It created a road trip we’ll remember!

This was perfect for our mission trip 15 hour ride. The teens went through them in less than 2 hours but you can surely get them to last longer if need be. It was a fun ice breaker for teens trying to figure it out as a team and one reader.

Bought on a last min whim (big mistake, don’t do this) for a road trip with spouse. We both love riddles and logic puzzles, but this was not that. We were actually coming up with more creative explanations (that were way more fun) than the provided explanations. The yes/no question format did not work well for us because of this and also because we were on a road trip and only person could read the cards. For us, total waste of money. We was through the card de k in less than 30 min. Very disappointing.

Fun and entertaining for older teens and young adults. Only drawback is that once, we played through the card, we couldn’t do the game again - we all knew the answers.
