Trip checklists
How it works
Peabody's road trip is made for one phone in a moving car. The License Plate Game keeps the whole car's finds: tap the part of the country, then the state, and Peabody says its nickname, its capital and one true thing about it, out loud so the youngest can play. The map fills up and stays filled on this phone for the whole trip, there and back, until you tap New trip.
When the plates run dry, Pick a game asks three questions (who's in the car, how long you have, light or dark) and hands over a game with its rules in three lines. Every game has its own page with the rules first and a play screen: cards to deal, a big letter, or one giant button the whole car taps.
Planning the night before? The checklists go by trip length, from a short drive to two days or more, with rows for a toddler, a teen or a pet, and they print. Nothing here asks for a name or a place, and nothing is sent anywhere.
Asked by families
Does it need the internet in the car?
Only to open the page. After that, the plate game, the picker, every game and the checklists keep working in a tunnel or with no signal.
Does Peabody know where we are?
No. There's no GPS and no location permission, and we never ask where you live or where you're going. The plate map is only the states your car tapped, and it stays on this phone.
Does a trailer or a truck plate count?
Your car's rule. Most families count any plate they can read the state on: cars, trucks, trailers, RVs. Just the state, never the number.
Can two kids play on one phone?
Yes, that's the idea: one phone, the whole car's finds. Pick an animal for each person and the stamp shows whose turn it was, with no scores to fight over.
Grown-ups: the night before, what this phone keeps, and why there's no GPS. More games for a crowd: charades for kids at the rest stop, and the US states quiz for the capitals.
