This games is lots of fun to play for short or long trips!

The game comes in a hard, durable "slide box" that opens from the bottom. There are four pads & matching pencils in four colors: orange, blue, green and pink.

Each pad has lots of the same images on it, but a few a different. For instance, the blue pad is the only one that doesn't have a tollgate, a tractor or an airplane image; the orange pad is the only one that doesn't have a pickup truck or a river image; the pink pad doesn't have a cow image; and the green and pink pad don't have a white picket fence image.

It's a really fun game, and the only downfall I see is once you use up your pads, you have to buy a new game. There are no replacement pads. In an effort to make the game more interesting and to save the pads for as long as possible, you can play different variations of Bingo. Such as Blackout, "X", or 2 Row Bingo or whatever!

No instructions come with the game other than this saying on the back:

See it!
Mark it!
Make a row!
... First one done yells
BINGO!

Well if you're playing with someone competitive like MY husband, make sure you establish the rules BEFORE you start the game. Like, is a river and a bayou the same thing? What is a bridge? Does it HAVE to go over water or can an overpass count? What exactly does the trailer image mean? ANY trailer or ONLY one similar to the one pictured? AND do you mark just what you find or do you yell everything out so EVERYONE can mark it off?

I think my dear husband was trying to cheat!

Anyhoo, it doesn't matter. We sure LOVE this game! Also, I know the driver isn't supposed to play, but he/she can yell out things they see for the other players!

My son was 4½ at the time I purchased this game, and although he understood the concept, he had a hard time spotting the items quick enough to play; thus, we played teams. It was fun, and it kept all of us entertained for at least 45-minutes to an hour. After playing several rounds we realized the pads were different. For example, some pads might have a picket fence and a school, while others had a tractor and a railway crossing sign. We recently made a trip up North with our 13-year old nephew. It's hard to find anything to entertain the boy, but he did seem to enjoy playing this game. I think it's great when you can find a game that will appeal to all age groups.

Great product! Fun way to play a classic game and is appropriate for even the youngest of travelers. Very well thought out and is designed to keep a child's interest up on those long trips! Good for short trips, too!

We took these along on a road trip from Fremont to San Diego. Kids enjoyed it but it can get frustrating if you're driving down an uninhabited and barren stretch of highway since you are looking for things like mailboxes and bicycles. Still, it is a well-designed product and I would recommend it for kids under 10. The kit comes with 4 sets of bingo cards in post-it like blocks. You use one sheet and tear it off and throw it away afterward. Even the grownups in the car enjoyed it.

It was a wonderful game for the children to play in the car. It would have been nice to have a little more variety in the things they had to find. The format was different, but the cards had the same things to find.

We get this out for all of our trips over about 3 hours. We have 3 children, ages 6 to 11, and they all enjoy it. To extend the game, we play until the entire board is covered. There are a few items that are not usually on our trips, such as toll booths, so we replace it with something else. One suggestion is to copy the Bingo sheets so that you can continue to enjoy the game and are not limited by the number of sheets in the box.

helped us pass the time on a trip from DC to SC. kids are 4.5yo boy and 6yo girl and both loved it!

Bought this for a family trip and it worked well in that it engaged everyone and had us all laughing and enjoying the trip together. We play Bingo fairly often and prefer to do the "blackout" version, where the winner has to find ALL of the items (makes game longer). Well, this isn't always an option with this game because there are both cows and toll roads on it. Seems like we could find one or the other. And the four pads differ in color and in pictures, so someone would be at a disadvantage in the absence of either of those items. Even so, we had fun. The kids got better at noticing flag poles and mailboxes and the parents had a mini-competition of how many mailboxes each saw before the kids saw one. In short, I'd say the game is either better for trips long enough to see all the items, or vote to swap out items more commonly seen.

The entire game (4 pads, 4 mini pencils) fits into the box and the box fits in the glove compartment. Still worth buying and I would buy again. Just wish they had two versions: one big city, one for countryside.

We took this game on our drive to CO from TX and it was great! Our 5 and 8 yr. old loved looking for the items and it was a nice break from watching dvd's :) We had to change some of the items due to our location, but that made the kids think about it even more! I highly recommend it and it's much cheaper on Amazon than some of the other places I found it.

My 9 yr old enjoyed this a little more than my 7 yr old but all in all it adds a little spice to a dull interstate ride. It is a little difficult to find a place to keep the cards you are finished with to add up the points but not a reason to not play the game.
