Our Puzzle Master John Chaneski has a game that should last through your longest road trip. It's a variation of "20 Questions" called "Animal, Mineral or Vegetable." He gives you a word and you have to find the animal, mineral or vegetable embedded in it. For example, which of those three things is contained in the word soaking? This is part of a complete episode.

I found a vegtable, two animals, and a senate candidate (that may add either an animal or vegtable).

soaking: i see "oak"
There is a variation of the 20 qs. A new category can be added, called "processes". For example, combustion, transpiration.
You can add machines, entities in the universe, and many other categories.
