About the Classic Road Trip What's Missing? Game
A picture-recall challenge based on the classic parlour game. Study a board of pictures for a few seconds, then one quietly disappears — can you say which? Rounds get bigger and faster as you go, and three wrong answers ends the run.
Paper maps folded the wrong way, I-spy out the window, the whole family singing along to the radio — the classic road trip is freedom on four wheels. Buckle up for the open-road deck.
How to Play
- Press Start and memorise every picture on the board.
- After a few seconds the board hides and one picture is removed.
- Pick the missing picture from the answer choices.
- Each correct answer adds a bigger board. Three misses ends the game.

- Trains observation and visual recall under time pressure
- Based on "Kim’s Game", used for over a century in memory training
