New products designed to keep you entertained and inspired while travelling always come in handy. And lucky us, we got to check out a new range of Adventure Cards from the creator of the Big Lap Bible.
Imagine you’ve just hauled the van and the whole family to one of your favourite destinations only to discover there’s a torrential downpour. Not much you can do on your outdoor adventure holiday in that situation … unless you have a contingency plan, and that’s where the all-new Adventure Cards come in.
Brought to you by the Big Lap Bible creator Rose Foster, the Adventure Card Co. and the 10 decks of new Adventure Cards are the perfect companion for those rainy days when you’re stuck inside the caravan.
As an author, mother and digital nomad, Rose loves exploring Australia’s most remote and untouched destinations, and the sense of freedom that comes with these kinds of adventures. Following the release of her successful Big Lap Bible and Kids’ Lap Bible, Rose wanted to expand on the help she offers fellow traveller through her guidebooks.
And so, she created the Adventure Cards to spark inspiration and a passion for travel among Aussie road tourers, whether that be solo travellers, couples or families. There are 10 decks on offer, each one with a different focus, such as the In Road Trip Deck, The Foodie Deck, The Kidventure Deck, The Rainy Day Deck … the list goes on.
The Adventure Card Co. has launched its new products
Caravan World had an opportunity to speak with Rose about the Adventure Card Co. and her exciting new range of cards and we want to share the best bits with you.
About Adventure Card Co.
As the range is a brand-new release, one of the first things we asked Rose was what inspired her to create the Adventure Card Co., and who her cards are aimed at.
Rose told us, “The idea for the Adventure Card Co. really came from my experience working with adventurers through the Big Lap Bible. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of helping so many travellers explore Australia through our guides and resources. But for me those guides aren’t just providing people with information about where to go or what to do, they’re empowering people to do something that we’re not told is an option. We’re showing people how to live life to the maximum before when society expects it: after retirement!
Rose Foster, creator of the Big Lap Bible
“But I realised there was an opportunity to open up that sense of adventure to a much broader group of people, not just full-time travellers.
“We wanted to create something that anyone could enjoy, whether you’re a couple, a family with little adventurers, a group of friends or someone just looking to inject a bit of adventure into their daily routine.
“The main Adventure Deck, in particular, is designed to be for everyone, no matter their age or where they are. It’s all about making adventure accessible, easy and fun for anyone who craves it.”

So, the next question is — how do you use this interactive card game range?
“Using the adventure cards is simple and flexible, which was a huge part of the design process. You just pull a card, and the prompt is open to interpretation. You can do something quickly — like a five-minute challenge — or take your time and stretch it into a longer adventure, maybe even a whole day. It’s really up to you how you want to engage with the cards,” Rose told us.
Each deck offers a 50-card game with prompts for adventures and outdoor fun on the road
“What’s great is that the prompts are designed to adapt to wherever you are or whatever you’re doing — whether that’s at home, in a city, camping or on the road. And the other decks, like the Foodie Deck or Camping Deck, are a bit more specific, but they still maintain that flexibility, letting you tailor your adventures to your interests.
“Each deck has 50 prompt cards which can be as simple as ‘Send a friend a message asking for a random destination, then head there’ (from the Adventure Deck) to ‘Create a playlist of your favourite songs and have a dance party’ (from the Date Night Deck).
“Some prompts will take you a couple of minutes, some will take you longer, but it’s up to you how long you want to play. There’s also no minimum and no maximum number of players.”
I’ve got a sample pack at my desk as I type this, and after shuffling through the different decks — whether that be the Road Trip Deck or Bush School Deck — every prompt provides a lot of inspiration for further discussion, unique exploration and the desire to discover more of what Australia has to offer.
