Old School Road Games

20 classics that still hit different.

November 12, 2025

Before podcasts and playlists did the heavy lifting, we kept ourselves entertained with games.

And honestly? Some of them still work — especially when the drive is long and everyone’s a little restless.

👉️ This list nails it

Here are three from the list that play perfectly in the car:

1) Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon
Two celebrities → trace the connection → bragging rights earned.

Evil. Hilarious. Elite car game.

3) “Change One Letter” Movie Titles
Star Wars → Star Warts.
Beauty and the Beast → Beauty and the Feast.
Explain the new plot. Laugh until it hurts.
