The Yellow Car Game is a classic car journey favourite, beloved by kids, teens, and grown-ups alike. Whether you’re heading to grandma’s, road-tripping across the UK, or just nipping to Tesco, this game turns every drive into a competition.

See a yellow car? Shout “YELLOW CAR!” before anyone else does—and score a point!

🛣️ Basic Rules

See a Yellow Car

Must be a full-sized car (not vans, lorries, or toy cars).

Shout “Yellow Car!”

First to call it gets 1 point.

No Cheating!

The car must be outside, on the road, and visible to at least one other player.

No Punches, Please!

We’re keeping this fun and friendly (no Yellow Car Slaps allowed!).

Optional Variations

Double Points for Rare Sightings: Like classic yellow Minis or yellow electric cars.

Subtract Points for Mistakes: False calls deduct a point.

Time Trials: Compete for most yellow cars in 10 minutes.
