How to approach it
The trick is to treat the prompt as a question about posture rather than about vehicles. Begin with your own day: what did you last remain upright on while it moved? Then walk through environments instead of objects, because each setting hides its own family: pavements, harbours and rivers, snowy hillsides, fairgrounds, building shafts and warehouse floors. For every setting, ask who works or plays there and what carries them. Specificity is where the points live: once a broad label comes to mind, push one step sideways into a named model, a historic variant, a regional craft or a piece of industrial plant. Keep a running list and prune anything where the rider is seated, kneeling or merely holding a rail.
Get a hint
Sort the field by setting rather than by object, since city streets, open water, snowy slopes, fairgrounds and industrial floors each shelter their own families of upright conveyances.
A little more
Push toward the overlooked corners: hoisting and lifting gear, fairground machinery and short-distance tourist transport get forgotten far more often than anything that rolls on wheels.
One step further
Aim for a precise model or variant rather than the generic label, and think about what people clutched while being hauled up a slope or carried across a harbour.

Why these answers count
The distribution tells you almost everything. Two hundred and one of the top answers sit at 85 points, so the scoring rewards precision rather than obscurity for its own sake: a named craft such as Aquaplane or Belt manlift (both 85) does far better than a bare generic label, because the reveal is built from concrete entries rather than abstractions. Only a single answer, Paternoster, reached 100, which suggests the ceiling is reserved for the one entry almost nobody else produced. The 61 answers at 60 points are the crowded, obvious end of the list: things most players reach in the first ten seconds and that therefore share their value across a large crowd. Rarity is the lever, but it has to stay recognisable: a real, checkable thing with a name, not a private invention. Between 60 and 85 the gap is small; between 85 and 100 it is enormous, so one genuinely rare, precise pick is worth more than five safe ones.
