App Profile: Plates of Legend

Play a new take on the classic road trip license plate game, with scores for plate rarity! Have fun on long road trips by keeping track of which license plates you've seen, and Plates of Legend will tell you if you've found a rare one. Plates from far away may be rare, epic, or even legendary. Earn combo points for certain groups of plates: The 13 original colonies, all the states touching the Mississippi River, the states along the Appalachian Trail, and more.

• Privacy-first design: No ads. No tracking. No personal information is collected or shared.
• Based on your home state, license plates are more rare if they come from farther away.
• Plates from states with fewer people are more rare than plates from highly populated states (California vs. Wyoming).
• Keep track of your past games. See what you've found in the past, and which plates you've never seen before.
• Share your subscription or purchase using Family Sharing.
• Support for plates from Canada and Mexico.

We're the parents of a ten-year-old, and during long road trips to visit family we were playing the old-school license plate game, making notes on pieces of paper as we saw new license plates. At the end of the drive, we would count how many different plates we found and then start all over again on the drive home. We thought it would be fun to highlight plates that came from very far away, and started the first version of the app. Knowing how much my daughter enjoyed finding rare item drops in other games, we decided to use that language in the game, and she loved it. She always announces the plate rarity: “common” in a bored, flat tone; “rare” with more interest; and “epic” with real excitement. I added the explosions for fun and she enjoys clicking on those repeatedly just for the joy of seeing the effect.
