## What is Van Trails?

The van is yours, the coast road is open, and the dream is an invitation to the camp-out on the mountain top.

Van Trails is a road trip game about life in a camper van. Drive a hand-painted island from the harbour villages to the vineyards, the beaches and the high mountain pass, and earn your way as you go.

ON THE ROAD
• Take delivery jobs between the villages, or work remotely where there's Wi-Fi
• Drive winding coast roads, farm lanes and mountain passes
• Meet the island's traffic: old campers flash their lamps to say hello, and your horn answers
• Day turns to golden hour and then to night; rest at camp when the day is done

LIFE IN THE VAN
• Camp under the stars at campgrounds, beaches and wild spots, and share the campground with other campers
• Fit out the van in the Workshop: engines, a pop-top or a high-top roof, and camp kit
• The van takes the knocks of the road; the garage puts it right

THE PICTURES
• Frame the van against the view and take the picture
• Caption it, post it and win followers
• Keep your favourites in the Trip Diary, and share them with friends

THE INVITATION
Grow your following, and one day a postcard arrives: an invitation to the camp-out on the mountain top.

No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Everything stays on your device, and the game plays offline.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.2.0 — 2026-10-24

New on the App Store page: real gameplay screenshots and two short gameplay videos, so you can see the game before you play. Thank you to everyone who tried Van Trails and shared feedback; more improvements are on the way.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-10-19

Ready for the road on launch day:
• Two posts a day: the camera shows how many you have left, and when you can post again.
• Know before you shoot: photo mode tells you whether a picture is for your followers, your diary or your album, and what to change.
• A postmark for every post, with your new followers and credits flying into the corner.
• Getting tired: drive too long without rest and the van starts to wander. Camp for the night, or stop for a coffee at the village, Valle Vino or the ski lodge.
• Bigger buttons on every screen.
• Fixes: deliveries to the ski lodge and the other regional stops, and the off-road camps now need the right kit.

### 1.0.0 — 2026-10-18

No release notes.
