eeBoo Travel Bingo Review
This games is lots of fun to play for short or long trips!
The game comes in a hard, durable "slide box" that opens from the bottom. There are four pads & matching pencils in four colors: orange, blue, green and pink.
Each pad has lots of the same images on it, but a few a different. For instance, the blue pad is the only one that doesn't have a tollgate, a tractor or an airplane image; the orange pad is the only one that doesn't have a pickup truck or a river image; the pink pad doesn't have a cow image; and the green and pink pad don't have a white picket fence image.
It's a really fun game, and the only downfall I see is once you use up your pads, you have to buy a new game. There are no replacement pads. In an effort to make the game more interesting and to save the pads for as long as possible, you can play different variations of Bingo. Such as Blackout, "X", or 2 Row Bingo or whatever!
No instructions come with the game other than this saying on the back:
See it!
Mark it!
Make a row!
... First one done yells
BINGO!
Well if you're playing with someone competitive like MY husband, make sure you establish the rules BEFORE you start the game. Like, is a river and a bayou the same thing? What is a bridge? Does it HAVE to go over water or can an overpass count? What exactly does the trailer image mean? ANY trailer or ONLY one similar to the one pictured? AND do you mark just what you find or do you yell everything out so EVERYONE can mark it off?
I think my dear husband was trying to cheat!
Anyhoo, it doesn't matter. We sure LOVE this game! Also, I know the driver isn't supposed to play, but he/she can yell out things they see for the other players!

Pretty good travel game - H. Hammond - Alpharetta, GA United States
My 9 yr old enjoyed this a little more than my 7 yr old but all in all it adds a little spice to a dull interstate ride. It is a little difficult to find a place to keep the cards you are finished with to add up the points but not a reason to not play the game.
fun toy - C. Cook - Houston, TX
Kids (ages 2 and 5) had lots of fun with this, although the 2 year old didn't really understand the "bingo" part, she liked searching for things. Educationally would be nice if the "yield" sign was correct.
Fun toy even for short travel - Amy - Fitchburg, MA
This toy kept both my four year old and eight and a half year old entertained for a thirty minute ride. That is not easy! I can see that for longer rides it could be pulled out again and again over the course of the trip. We didn't really use it as a competitive game (for the four year old), but just tried to fill in rows and then the whole box of pictures. It was really fun, and made the kids look around and think about where they were. Great toy.
Kids had fun - V. Pradhan - Fremont, CA
We took these along on a road trip from Fremont to San Diego. Kids enjoyed it but it can get frustrating if you're driving down an uninhabited and barren stretch of highway since you are looking for things like mailboxes and bicycles. Still, it is a well-designed product and I would recommend it for kids under 10. The kit comes with 4 sets of bingo cards in post-it like blocks. You use one sheet and tear it off and throw it away afterward. Even the grownups in the car enjoyed it.
