I've got 2 more for you, one from my school life and one a drinking game we made at Uni that can easily work as a road trip game:
The school one was simple - the aim is to go through the alphabet from A to Z and back to A. The twist is that only ONE person can speak ONE letter at a time and anybody else can jump in anytime. If two people speak or a letter is out of order - you must start again. Easy to learn and highly addictive but takes a lot of teamwork and silent communication to master (especially when you can't make eye contact as much.
The drinking one we nicknamed Senseless - choose a direction to go around and make up a story, one word at a time using that starts with the first letter of your first name (so for a Mike all his words must begin with an M and all of a Sally's words would begin with an S). No repeat words. No long hesitations and the word must make the sentence make sense. You can also add verbal punctuation to expand these sentences, so a comma plus a word to build a list or full stop /period after a word to end a sentence. Any bad grammar, words that don't begin with that first letter, words that don't make sense or too long thinking results in that person losing the round (where in place of the drink the leader for that round can decide a fun forefit or to eliminate them from the game until only a winner remains. If you want to make more challenging or have too many similar names, swap the first letter of your name to a last letter instead!

Speaking of brain usage-y heres an adult game we have played dozens of times, Mark. ABC G. O. A. T - greatest of all time in music, acting, literature, science.
_Music GOAT_ - Someone might open with ABBA. Not bad. Next person proposes Aerosmith. Well. OK. Third person delivers Aretha Franklin. Boom. There has to be a consensus to move on and since we don't keep score it works out fine. Aretha can be used only once so not eligible for F by the way. On to B. Barbra Streisand. Lots of hits every decade, movies, stage. Solid. Of course (The) Beatles. Feeling confident. And then someone says Beethoven.
_Michael Jordan_ vs Joe Montana vs Muhammad Ali is ridiculously tough.
Anyway it inspires interesting discussion and debate; very enjoyable exercise.

If you're traveling through the midwest, you can play Cows and Graveyards. Left side of the car vs. right side of the car. If you pass cows on your side of the car, you get a point. If you pass a graveyard on your side of the car you lose all your cows(points. Whoever has the most points when you get to your next stop wins. You can also make up variants for different animals you might pass, different point values for various animals, etc. Basically there's no end to the different house rules you can make up.

Our friends taught us a game, maybe it's like 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon, where you name two actors and you have to link them together so you would say The Rock and Kristen Wiig. You would say the rock was in fast and furious with vin diesel who was in iron giant with Jennifer Aniston who was in along came Polly with Ben Stiller who was in Walter Mitty with Kristen Wiig. It's a really good game, and to hear how different people get the same answer (I'm terrible at it) It can pass loads of time!

alphabet game ( looking for a specific name):
you go through the alphabet and your word has to start with your letter and contain the next one.
example:
me: A and B. ABle
friend 1: B and C. BaCk
friend 2: C and D. CanDle
friend 3: D and E. DarE
and so on.
then do it backwards
(made this game up about 15 minutes ago)
to add a twist, the amount of letters per word is the amount of points. more points = victory

Here in Australia we play cricket using cars and there colours. Translated to baseball it could be each white car is a strike, a blue car is a base hit, red car is 2 base run, a light blue truck a home run and a red truck is batter out. This can be played with licence plates also. And play as a score card reads. Letting the kids pick colours and consequences is always a fun idea

We would play an Alphabet game where we had to find the letters, in order, somewhere on the road. Once you found and called out the letter, no one else could use that instance. They had to find their own letter while you went on to the next one.

Our version of the alphabet game was the cities game: pick a letter and then everyone try to name a city that begins with that letter. You go around, taking turns, and doing it until someone can't think of any more cities with that letter.

I love playing the license plate game while just driving around town! Lots of people move here to New Mexico so youll always see plates from Minnesota, Illinois, Arizona, Washington, Utah, etc!
