It’s Friday afternoon and I’m tuning in to Bowdoin College’s radio station, surrounded by ambient car honking sounds. But guess what? I’m not in Maine. I’m not even in a car. I’m right at my desk, enjoying the Internet Roadtrip experience.
A Unique Online Adventure
Internet Roadtrip is more than just a game – it’s a massive multiplayer online road trip simulator. Created by Neal Agarwal, this virtual journey lets viewers vote on the direction for the car to drive on Google Street View every 10 seconds. You can even vote to honk the horn or change the radio station. It’s a collaborative adventure where the majority rules, guiding the car on its scenic path to destinations unknown.
Exploring the Virtual World
Reminiscent of Twitch Plays Pokémon, Internet Roadtrip offers a less chaotic experience for around a thousand players at a time. With improved organizational tools like Discord, the road trip is smoother and more enjoyable. And while the progress may be slow, the joy comes from the journey itself – not the destination.
The Joy of Spontaneity
There’s no set goal in Internet Roadtrip, unlike other Street View-based games. The thrill lies in the spontaneity of the adventure – listening to a college radio station from a liberal arts school in Maine, surrounded by strangers from around the world. Who knows where the road will take us next? Join the fun and experience the beauty of the virtual road trip with Google Street View.
