How to play Road Trip Playlist

Step 1

Scoring

How the result works

Each winning nomination scores 1 passenger point.

Example: Passengers vote on three opener choices while the passenger controller handles playback.

Host tip

Keep it clean

Treating the driver as an active player. Driver exclusion is a required rule, not an optional variation.

Safety: Passenger-only while moving: no driver device handling, prompts, voting, scoring, or visual participation. Follow local laws and stop if audio distracts the driver.
