Name the places your kid loves — school, the park, nana's house. We weave them into a beautiful board you print at home and play tonight.
See it come together
Watch a fictional family go from familiar places to a printable board in 48 seconds.
The names and places shown are fictional. Captions are available from the video controls. On a phone, use full screen to see the board details. Playing pieces are not included—bring pieces from a game you own, buttons, or LEGO bricks.
Built at our family game table
Ticket to Ride is Meer's favorite board game. He loves watching Mommy and Daddy play. Meer wanted to join in without all the complexity, so Mommy and Daddy built this simpler version for Meer and his friends.
Start with the ready-made board or customize the places below, then print it and build it together.
Already have train cars from Ticket to Ride?
Adults can enjoy the full Ticket to Ride game. Kids can reuse its colorful train cars on the custom board your family builds together.
Don't have the game? Get the full game Ticket to Ride on Amazon, or get train cars here, or look for them at your favorite game store.
Played at home, for real
These are photos from our first family playtests. We printed the map, taped the pages together, brought over colorful pieces, and learned by playing.
The board is dedicated to your kid — their name goes right on it.
We size the board to your kid's age — tap a level to change it.
A real pack, woven for a made-up family — Meer, in Fremont, California.
Home is always on the board. Add 5–16 more — named the way your kid says them.
Anchors the map — stays on this computer.
Only makes placement more exact. Used only when you generate — never for suggestions. We do not log, print, or retain it; the field clears after a successful board.
A town, zip, or landmark is plenty — type “Dublin” and we'll know you mean the one near you. For a school, library, park or store, tap suggest and we'll name a real one nearby — accept it or edit.
Every place needs only a name your kid knows — then roughly which way it is from home, and how far.
| What your kid calls it | Looks like | Where is it? optional | Our best guess real place nearby | Direction from home | How far |
