ThinkFun Rush Hour Editorial Review: Product Description: Rush Hour is the mind-challenging game of pure bumper-to-bumper fun! Players set up the cars and trucks on a game grid to match one of forty color-coded challenge cards, and then try to maneuver the red car to escape the gridlock. Four levels of play range from beginner to expert. Measures 9"W x 8"H x 2.5"D. Editorial Review: Honk! Honk! It's gridlock and the little red car can't move. The player is a traffic cop in the Rush Hour Traffic Jam Puzzle where the objective is to get the red car off the road. To play, pick one of 40 challenge cards; solutions are printed on the back of each card. Then set up the cars and buses in a specified pattern on the 6-inch-square road grid. Move the vehicles one by one (obey those traffic laws!) until the red car can escape the traffic jam. There are four levels of difficulty. Kids can alternate turns with another player or just "play in traffic" alone. The game from Binary Arts received a national award from Mensa and is used in elementary school math classes. The design includes clear instructions printed on the sturdy box, which can be used both as a playing tray and for storage. The game cards stow away in a drawer in the road grid. This is a 1999 Parents' Choice recommended toy. --Marcie Bovetz List Price: $19.99 Amazon.com's Price: $17.71 You Save: $2.28 (11%) Prices subject to change.

At first, I was teaching her on the easier ones, after a week when we reached Expert level, she is better than me now. It's a simple fun game everyone (young or old, boy or girl) loves, wonderful brain exercise; and with other ThinkFun games, it's stored in a pouch and played by one person, very convenient. We also have Brick by Brick and Chocolate Fix, both my daugher and I like Rush Hour the best. Rating: - fun for any age This is a fun game for all ages. It's a game you can play by yourself or sometimes we challenge each other to see who can solve it the fastest. It's easy to take with you and can be played inside, outside, and even in the car. My 4 year old grandson has the junior version and he brings it when we go camping. It challenges your mind and is fun too. Rating: - Can't*Stop*Playing...... As i review, i can't offer much more of an opinion than any of the other reviewers. All of it is true. I can add this though. My 4 yo. and 5 yo. are fighting over this. And i am sending them to bed early so i can play........if you are just 'thinking' about it......don't have to. It's a sure winner....... Rating: - really fun!!!!!! this is the best think fun game ever!!!!thank you think fun.p.s. the beginning of the video is really funny. Rating: - Interesting puzzle The puzzle is really intriguing for children and adults. The puzzle can be extended from easy play for children as young as 4years and can go to really hard levels. The real point in the game is to make as little moves to get the swanky red car out. There are humongous puzzle configurations available on net for free. It provides hours of brain exercise for kids of any age. I like the game.
