We used to play “I Took A Trip,” a straightforward memory game. The first person stars by saying, "I took a trip to – " and names a place. Under standard rules, this is any place beginning with A; we almost always started by naming where we were going. For example, on the drive from Sanford, FL (the auto train terminal) to Orlando, we might start with: “I took a trip to **D** isney World.” The second person repeats what the first person said, then “brings along” an item beginning with the next letter. Ex: “I took a trip to **D** isney World, and I brought along **e** ggs.” The third person repeats all of _that_, then adds the next letter. And so on, and so forth: Each person repeats the entire list, then adds another item. Anybody who misses an item is out. Last one in wins, but to win they have to recite the whole list. The last time I remember playing this game, we went all the way around – a full 26-item list – with nobody missing any items. At that point, everybody won. ---

> [@Troy McClure SF](#): > > Another game is the Three Things. This is really only interesting if everyone playing knows a lot of the same people. You give one of the players the names of three people, and they have to decide which one they would have sex with and never see again, which one they would live with forever but never have sex with, and which one they’d toss off a cliff. We call this “Marry, Screw, Kill.” We usually pick three celebrities or ficitional characters, or what have you. From then on, it’s the same–only we allow for the possibility of sex after marriage, because otherwise it’s no fun at all. 😉 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/suggest-some-road-trip-games/358038.md?page=2)
