Apple picker Do you often travel by car with your children? Long journeys are not fun for children, so they often get bored. It won't help the driver to relax in a traffic jam, which is why it is advisable to keep them occupied during the transport. You can play word football, or run it on the iPhone for the children Funny Road Trip.
Application from Czech developers Sugar And Ketchup has not been very popular in the App Store yet, it was released on June 5. In the game, the long driving time is shortened by a "virtual hitchhiker", you can choose between the Mexican Señor Tortilla and the rapper MC Bronx, both characters are already in the basic version. You can buy the travel robot with the poetic name Emil da Elektra and the Japanese girl Sushi Sakura in the application, you pay €0,79 for each one individually. The developers promise that more characters will be added in the future.
The greatest benefit for children in Funny Road Trip is the possibility of non-violent learning of a foreign language. The chosen character can gradually, according to your choice, give you quite simple, undemanding tasks and puzzles in English, German or Czech (find the yellow car, unbutton your buttons...), which you can easily complete in the car. Children and adults can also exercise their imagination when they have to say what they would like to see if they had a submarine for a week. Of course, more people can participate in the game, actually everyone, except the driver. Let him focus on the steering wheel.
Among other things, you can learn various interesting things from each figurine, for example Señor Tortilla will introduce you to typical Mexican food and musical instruments. Other stories, other jokes and other questions give the characters their personality. Jiří Mádl, Tereza Chytilová or Gipsy.cz lent their voices to the "Hitchhikers". There are two modes in the game: day and night. They are set automatically according to the hours and then according to the average sunset and sunrise data. In night mode, you get tasks related to, for example, the starry sky.
Controlling the application is completely trivial, although it is actually just a matter of moving to the next question. If you shake your phone, your question will randomly change. The game has no plot, you don't need to be agile, have an observation, but you will employ your imagination. Which style you will proceed with is really up to you.

Iveta Kratochvílova's distinctive drawing gives all the characters flair and elegance, children will surely like them. The graphic processing is complemented by texts that look as if they were drawn and naturally fit into the overall tuning of the application. The precise graphic processing of the individual screens in combination with animations will keep children busy for hours, even though there are only 200 tasks in the application so far. Hopefully they will gradually increase in the next updates. Another plus is the music by Andreas Chrostodol / KMBL/ and Radek Tomášek, especially the song in the opening menu is very catchy.
Take a long trip, turn on your iPhone, have fun and learn English along the way.
