eeBoo: Travel Bingo for Kids Ages 5+, Car Game with 4 Pads & Pencils That Makes Road Trips Fun & Builds Observation Skills

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!

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.

This is our go-to game when we are in the car for over an hour. It never gets old and the kids love it. We have 3 children, ages 6 to 12, and they all enjoy it. To extend the game, we often play until the entire board is covered. There is one item, a toll booth, that is not usually on our trips. It's not a big deal though -- we just replace it with something else fun to search for. Also, there are a lot of Bingo sheets in the box, but if you are concerned about how long you can continue to use the game, you could copy the Bingo sheets to make extra so you can use the game for several years.

Agree with some of the other reviews. Lots of the items on the cards will not be found if you are taking a long road trip. Most items are found only if you were traveling through town and during this time, I find there are so much distraction outside to keep my kids interests.

We purchased this last year for a road trip from Texas to Colorado. My now 4 year old (he was 3 for our 1st road trip) loves this game. It's the one he's most excited to play. There are a ton of sheets, and the box keeps the pencils in as well. We don't really play it like Bingo yet, but he loves to use it almost like a Scavenger hunt. We've been on 2 other road trips since, and he always can't wait to play Travel Bingo!

We had to make a 5 day cross country drive with a 6 year old trapped in a car seat so I loaded the car with entertainment items. I was shocked at how popular this one was. I didn't really think my kid would be too into this one but it was the most popular road game I purchased (magnetic hangman and license plate game were both a bust). This silly bingo game entertained us for at least 2 hours a day over multiple days - a HUGE feat when you are stuck in a car 8-10 hours - bird on a wire is surprisingly difficult to find. It's also nicely set up for storage. The box is sturdy and compact and the game pads and pencils store inside nicely, not taking up too much vehicle real estate, a plus when the car is overflowing with people and luggage.

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.

My kids (6,8) loved this game on our last 10hr road trip. We all joined in looking for the items. It was a nice break from our screens that let us spend a little time together. Sitting still is especially hard for my son. This game was a great way to focus his energy

Four different cards to choose from. This has lasted us years.
