[Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gummyquest)-funded party game Game Night in a Can introduced a brand-new [travel game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/countryquest) at the 2018 Toy Fair called 'Dr. Biscuits’ Radical Road Trip.' While kids often must settle on choosing just one small toy or game to entertain them over the course of a long road trip, this new Game Night in a Can product is packed with [60 original games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/innovative-game-collection).

These travel-friendly games include ones that can be played at rest stops, as well as plenty that are sure to delight travelers of all ages.

The creators of Game Night in a Can, Barry McLaughlin and Jason Lautenschleger, know a thing or two about entertaining games, as they have appeared on 13 game shows between the two of them, including Jeopardy and the Price is Right.
