Journey Bingo · Gremlin Car Bingo
Field tested on a real motorway: 40 minutes of silence, one pink car, and one argument about whether a maroon car counts, which is why this pack now contains an official HQ INSPECTION RULE.
Journey Bingo is 8 spotting cards across four real routes, Motorway, Town, Countryside, and the mighty Long Haul, plus three ways to play. Print two cards to a page, cut along the dashed line, hand each gremlin a card, and get your journey back. Every card is a 4x4 grid of things they can actually see out of a real window: one clear picture per square, the word printed underneath for sneaky early reading, and colour-critical items printed IN the colour, so there is no debating what counts as a PINK CAR. Except there will be. Hence the rule.
Each route comes as a pair: card 1 is the easy spots, card 2 hides the rarer stuff. And every single card hides one RARE TREASURE square, pink-car tier, with full bragging rights for whoever bags it.
Three ways to play
RACE MODE. A card each, first line of four wins the round, full card and you're the Gremlin Champion. Includes the HQ INSPECTION RULE: you must point at it, and one other person must see it too. Unverified sightings do not count. The gremlins are watching.
TEAM MODE. One card between everyone, beat the journey together: full house before you reach the destination, or the next services. Choose this one if your car contains competitive gremlins.
LONG HAUL MODE. The big one. Finish a card, start the next, count cards completed per journey, and fill in the family record box.

How it works
Print, cut, hand out, drive. Point at it, cross it off. A line of four is BINGO, the whole card is a FULL GREMLIN, legendary. Best move: laminate the cards and pack a whiteboard pen. One print becomes every journey forever. HQ approves of this level of efficiency.
Field tested, properly
This one earned its place the hard way. 40 minutes of genuine motorway engagement from my own two fussy chaos gremlins, longer than anything else we've ever tested. The pink car was found early. The maroon car dispute has been legislated for.
