Can’t decide where to go next?

Let us make it worse. We’ve got a ridiculous number of options.

Choose a Detour pulls from hundreds of places we’ve collected while wandering around the country. Some we’ve already visited. Some are still sitting on our absurdly long list.

Pick your poison.

Choose a place from We’ve Been There, Beat Us There to somewhere still on our list, or surrender all decision-making ability and choose Surprise Me.

From there, you can narrow things down a little… or make absolutely no attempt to narrow things down at all.

Don’t like what you get? Roll again. We’re not keeping score.

Sooo… where are we sending you?

We’ve Been There pulls from places we’ve actually visited. Roadside weirdness, giant things, museums, food stops, tours, public art and all the other things that have made us hit the brakes over the years. When the game picks one, you can go read our story about it.

Beat Us There pulls from places we’ve found while researching where to go next. They’re on our list, but we haven’t gotten there yet. When the game picks one, you can see why it caught our attention in the first place.

If you get there before we do, congratulations.

You beat the people who made the game. 😂

Why does this exist?

Because sometimes searching for things to do is exactly the problem.

There are a million lists telling you the ten best attractions in a city. This isn’t one of them.

Choose a Detour is for when you don’t know what you’re looking for yet. Maybe you’re planning a trip. Maybe you’re already on the road. Maybe you’re sitting at home and just want to see where the game sends you.

Pick something. Go see it. Save it for later. Or just follow the detour from your couch.

And if the game sends you somewhere completely ridiculous?

It worked.
