Are We Nearly There Yet, Grandad?
A heartwarming family journey game inspired by real memories.
Whenever Gran and Grandad took the boys somewhere in the car, there was one very important question:
"What time do you think we'll get there?"
Everyone makes a guess.
Gran writes them down.
Then she covers the clock.
And nobody is allowed to peek.
As the miles roll by, the journey becomes a hilarious adventure filled with traffic jams, slow tractors, picnic stops, first-time drive-through meals, and Grandad's unforgettable sayings. With every delay, the competition becomes more exciting, and nobody knows whose guess will be closest.
