You have to travel far before you turn it over. What is it?

Odometer

Why this works

The answer to the riddle is "odometer," and the cleverness lies in the play on words. An odometer measures the distance traveled by a vehicle, so you must indeed "travel far" before it records a significant change. The phrase "turn it over" refers to the way odometers roll over to zero after reaching their maximum reading, thus requiring a long journey before this reset occurs. This dual meaning—traveling a distance and the mechanical aspect of the odometer—makes the riddle both intriguing and fun!

Common Wrong Answers

“Map”

A map does not require travel to be turned over; it can be flipped at any point regardless of distance.

“Compass”

A compass is used for navigation but does not involve turning over after traveling; it simply points north.

“Suitcase”

A suitcase is carried while traveling, but it is not something that is turned over in the context of distance traveled.
