What the Car? is a 2023 video game developed and published by Triband. It was originally released for iOS, macOS and tvOS via Apple Arcade in 2023 and in September 2024 for Windows. Players control a car to guide it the end of a series of levels in parodies of multiple genres, with its methods of movement and control changing in unexpected and comic ways.
Triband intended the game to be a follow-up to What the Golf?, with the objective of creating a humorous title that subverted the conventions of a racing game. Upon release, the game received generally favorable reviews, with critics praising the game's sense of humor and varied gameplay modes based on its concept. Following release, What the Car? received several accolades, including the 2024 D.I.C.E. Award for Mobile Game of the Year.
