Street Volkswagen’s Top Three Road Trip Games

Travel tips from Street VWThe holidays are coming and that means a lot of traveling for you, your family and even your friends. Road trips come with a certain amount of necessary preparation that must be completed before embarking on your journey. Do not forget it is important to take precautions and prepare for any situation that may compromise your family’s safety while on the road. Always keep an emergency preparedness kit in the vehicle at all times in the event of a breakdown, inclement weather or traffic jam. Once you get all the necessities in order, it is also important to keep everyone sane as well as safe during the trip.  Planning games and activities to occupy your time during the car ride can be an absolute lifesaver, especially for those with young ones. We wanted to take some time to share a few of our favorites that we think would serve as the perfect entertainment for your road trip entourage.

  1. 20 Questions – 20 Questions is a classic car game that can occupy an impressive amount of time while maintaining the interest of all involved. For those who might be unfamiliar with the game, 20 questions is literally a guessing game. One player thinks of an item and the rest of the players have a limit of 20 yes or no questions to ask to help figure out what the item is. The first question is standard as the guesser determines if the item is “Animal, Vegetable or Mineral?” 20 questions is a fun time consumer that is also very stimulating for the mind!
  2. Name That Tune – Now, some people may not be able to name that tune from Street VWcarry a tune, but can still play this game without too much pain inflicted by friends and family. Hum or sing a few bars from a song and everyone will try to guess that song you are singing. This game is simple enough, but carloads of fun, especially for all the music fiends out there. Depending on the demographics of your passengers, you can also choose a specific genre or type of music, although keeping it random makes it much more fun.
  3. SlugBug (also known as PunchBug) – There is nothing like a little physical bonding to keep your road trip fun. As SlugBug does condone a bit a violence, perhaps this one should be left to close friends instead of families.  Of course the game has evolved to require a rulebook (most of which are probably made up on the spot). In its simplest form, the game proceeds when you or a passenger spots a VW Beetle (affectionately referred to as a Bug). You or the other person announces to everyone that he or she has spotted a “Bug” and its color (i.e. SlugBug blue) then punches the person nearest him or her, preferably, in the arm. This game is literally a free for all and suddenly everyone will see every VW Beetle in town, or they at least think they do! It is great anger management and stress relief as long as none of the participants takes any of it seriously.  We obviously do not want anyone showing up for Christmas dinner with a black eye!slug bug by Street VW

Volkswagen Might Make the Top of the Charts

Volkswagen has a successful history of advertising. As a brand, they are known for creativity and ingenuity when it comes to their marketing strategies and they have carried this torch with them and will continue to do so. Recently, Volkswagen teamed up with Walk Off the Earth, a talented musical group that received some YouTube fame by recording a cover of Gotye’s song, “Somebody That I Used to Know”, while all five members played the same guitar. The end product of this dynamic collaboration was incredibly creative, to say the least.

 The Beetle 3-Track – Gang of Rhythm

The Beetle 3- Track – Gang of Rhythm is the wonderful product of the aforementioned tag team. “3-Track” because it features three completely different flavors. The first genre, called “Playful,” could be described as fun and folky, and it features the artists using a Red 2014 Beetle Convertible to aid in making the light-hearted tunes.  The second portion of the work is titled “Soulful.” Again, a Volkswagen model is featured, though this time it’s a white 2014 Beetle Coupe. Walk Off the Earth sings alongside a full choir giving the general sound a heavier and slower feel, while also offering a wider range of vocals. The final section of the song is termed “Powerful.” Using all electric instruments and the engine power of the reimagined and redesigned Volkswagen Beetle GSR, the music group makes a strong, lyric-free ballad of the original upbeat jam. This video is just one of many examples, in which Volkswagen has issued forth creative ideas that take advertising and marketing to a new level.

The timeless Volkswagen Beetle

The Beetle has proven to be a timeless and well-produced piece of Volkswagen craft, and the 2014 model is no different. The interior design is of course, excellent. It creates a meeting point for high fashion and functional utility, while still offering a plentiful amount of space. The Bug also offers a powerful 2.5-liter turbo R-Line engine, fuel-efficiency and a diesel option.
