Road Trip is a bright, friendly driving game for the whole family from Carpooling with Jesus. Steer a colorful van down the road, grab the glowing Courage Stars, dodge the bumps, and reach your destination. It is easy to pick up for a five year old and still fun for a ten year old, with just enough challenge to keep everyone coming back. Drive to twelve real destinations, from School to Grandma's House to the Beach, each with its own look, its own things to grab, and its own finish line. Earn up to three medals on every trip, bank your stars, and beat all twelve to unlock the never-ending Cross-Country mode. Best of all, every trip ends with a little encouragement: a simple truth and a question your family can talk about in the car. It is warm and hopeful, never preachy, and never a quiz. WHAT YOU GET - Twelve road trips to drive and unlock, each with its own theme. - A car-dashboard screen so kids always know their score, stars, and how close they are to the finish. - Four difficulty levels, from gentle Easy to wild, so every kid plays at their own speed. - Family drivers: set up a profile for each kid, with their own stars, medals, and a local family leaderboard. - A Star Store where banked stars unlock fun new rides, like a llama and a space alien. - A Treasure Shelf to fill: find the hidden treasure on every trip to unlock a secret ride. - A Courage Boost power-up, three tries shown as little vans, and a cheerful screen win or lose. - Endless Cross-Country mode after you beat all twelve trips. SAFE AND PRIVATE FOR FAMILIES No account. No email. No location. No ads. No data collection of any kind. Road Trip runs entirely on your phone, so there is nothing to sign up for and nothing to track. You are the family, not the product. Buckle up, pick your van, and hit the road. Want more?
