The iPhone Mom

The Travel Games Ultimate Edition app combines five great travel games into one app. They’ve been translated well to the iPhone and the graphics are terrific. I wasn’t too fond of the music, mine seemed to keep getting hung up, but you can easily turn it off. At times the app felt a little slow but I’m chalking that up to the amount of things it was trying to do. Here’s the rundown on the different travel games.

-Scavenger Hunt – This one features a list of things that are commonly seen on car trips. You can play this game by yourself or against another player. Tap on the things you find to check them off and keep  score. You can also view the items that have been found on a map, using your current location.

-Hidden Pictures – Choose from five different pictures and try to find everything hidden in them.  You can set the timer on this game and compete against the clock. You’ll need to use your finger on the iPhone screen to scroll through the picture because not all of it fits on your screen. It would be great if future updates allowed you to view the picture in landscape mode. Also, if new hidden pictures were added.

-License Plates – This is the classic car game where you try to spot as many state license plates as you can. Play by yourself or against someone else. The included license plates are from the U.S.A. and Canada.

-Slug Bug – Another classic game but this time without all that violent slugging. It allows you to choose the type of car and color you’re looking for. When you spot one you tap a ladybug on the screen instead of punching your sister in the name of a game.

-Rock Paper Scissors – You can play this one against the iPhone or another player. It’s pretty straightforward. Tap the start button then choose your rock, paper or scissors. Play for best out of three.

Travel Games Ultimate Edition is well put together. Considering the fact that you get five games in one app the $1.99 price is a great bargain.
