Setup

You’ll need to be in a car or on a walk through a metropolis area with changing scenery. Depending on how many players, decide if you’ll play individually or in teams.

How to Play

Players need to spot the letters of the alphabet in order from A to Z on license plates, road signs, billboards, or anything else. When you spot the letter you’re looking for, call it out and say where you found it. Eg. “A” from the ‘Lane Merging’ sign”. Players cannot use the same letter from the same sign. Eg. you found “T” in the “Roundabout” sign. The other players cannot use “T” from “Roundabout” but they can use the other letters in the word if needed. The First team to complete the alphabet in order from A to Z wins the round.
