How to play

A pocket-sized road trip classic — solo or with the whole crew.

★ THE BASICS ★

• Each player gets a randomly shuffled card of 25 state license plates.
• Spot a plate on the road → tap it on your card to stamp it SPOTTED.
• 1 point per plate. Five in a row across, down, or diagonal = PLATE! and a +5 bonus.
• The first player to get PLATED! (all 25) wins the trip. Standings show who's ahead on points.

Pick your mode

Two ways to play: Solo for one player on one device, or Multiplayer when everyone in the car has their own phone.

Solo 🧍

One player, one device. Just you and the road.

Tap Solo / This Device on the home screen.
Pick a name and hit Start the Trip.
Spot plates as you ride — tap each one on your card to stamp it.
Get PLATED! (all 25) to win the trip.

Best for: a quiet ride, or playing on your own.

Multiplayer 📱📱

Everyone on their own phone. Stamps and the live leaderboard sync across devices.

HOST

Tap Host Multiplayer Game, pick a name + color.
Share the 4-letter room code (or QR) with your passengers.
When everyone's in the lobby, tap START THE TRIP.

JOIN

Tap Join with Code (or scan the host's QR).
Type the 4-letter code, your name, and pick a color.
Wait in the lobby — the host kicks off the trip.

Best for: family or friends with their own phones.

Your first hosted multiplayer room is free. After that, the Family Pass ($4.99, one-time) unlocks unlimited hosting forever. Joining a room is always free.

★ TIPS FROM THE ROAD ★

• Driver shouldn't play (eyes on the road!).
• Tap "Standings" any time to see who's ahead on points.
• Multiplayer: only the host's device starts the game — passengers see "Waiting for the host…" until then.
• Multiplayer: stay on Wi-Fi or cell signal so stamps sync across devices.
