Route-rageous! challenges players to earn points "driving" around town by laying out a driving route using arrows, speed markers, and different types of vehicles. Along the way, drivers must avoid colliding with other vehicles, navigate jumps, and stay on the road. Running errands and collecting coins earns players points, while riskier driving behavior, like jumping ramps, costs points.

Quotes
Chris Scott, Progressive's emerging media manager
"Route-rageous! is the second online game that we've developed and our first for Facebook. Expanding the game to a social networking site like Facebook allows players to easily challenge their friends, see how others are scoring, and share the fun."
"Our goal was to create a fun, interactive, game. Sure, online games help us build our brand, but as a gamer myself, I feel it's important to create games people actually want to play, not just advertisements dressed up as games."
