**Short answer.** Pick a pack that fits the people in the car, start light, and get bolder as the miles pass. Below are questions for families, friends and couples, would-you-rather picks and trivia with answers.

## Make it hands-free

The driver should not read a screen. Let a passenger ask, or use an app that reads questions aloud. [Road Trip Quiz](https://www.a-devgroup.com/road-trip-quiz/) asks out loud, adds questions about the place you are driving through, and works without an account. It is not released yet.
