ABSTRACT:
A travel game includes a display screen connected to a programmed controller for producing geographic map displays of various geographic regions. The program controller is operative to indicate travel routes on the display between various origin and destination display points. The display routes may include alternative routes for use by different travel modes such as vehicle, rail and air. Individuals move game marker pieces along selected travel routes in accordance with randomly determined movement increments and accumulate time and score awards and penalties according to encountered travel route obstacles and their success in correctly answering questions regarding travel route landmarks. The questions may be posed by a group of cards having bar code indicia representing time and score awards and penalties for tabulation by an electronic score keeping computer having a bar code reader. The score keeping computer includes a plug connection for interface with the programmed display controller allowing a rated average score for a player to be determined based upon selection of travel routes and a player's successful travel.
