My Game Pigeon Doesn't Work

A family road trip feels like the quintessential memory maker, right? But there are few parenting experiences that fail to live up to my expectations like a road trip. My kids are usually pretty great at traveling — especially now that I've learned what to avoid so they don't barf all over their car seats — but there's bound to be some whining, some 'I'm booooored,' and some frustration over slow-loading tablets. Having a few family road trip games in your back pocket is essential to creating the family road trip of your dreams. (You know. Like the Griswolds.)

I love game pigeon and all, but are a few flaws. Idk if it’s my phone (I don’t think it is it’s new) but whenever I try to just tap on GP to open it it doesn’t work so I have to open App Store, search up the app and tap open. I’ve had other problems with the app too. If you have downloaded Game Pigeon and you can’t access or play games, simply follow these steps. Open any message thread on iMessage and at the bottom left, tap the 4 dots. Once you do this, you should see the game. Select your game of choice and an invite will be sent to your friend. Find & play recent games. Open the Play Games app. The games you recently signed in to, in the order they were last played. Find missing games. If a game you installed using your phone or computer doesn't appear on Android TV, it might not work on Android TV. To check: On your computer, go to the Google Play Store. Find the game you want to play. It still doesn’t work for me. I hadn’t played it since i installed the beta, which was two weeks ago and yesterday was the first time. Got an invited played and sent it, and the when my friend played me back it would throw one ball and freeze. I haven’t tried it on any other games though.

If you look for road trip games, there are tons of products out there to buy that promise to be fun. But all I see are a lot of little pieces going missing in my car. Who can keep up with hangman whiteboards and travel Scrabble tiles and tiny plastic license plates to put on a map? I want games that require little fanfare, and that are actually kind of fun to play. Every parent is going to get worn out at some point, but these games are all ones I've played with my own kids, and they really do help keep everyone occupied and aren't that terrible. Plus is there anything more wholesome than a family singalong on a light-up microphone or an old-fashioned parlor game?
