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

Rush Hour August 2, 2008
This is a great toy! Comes with a string tie bag to keep all the little pieces (vehicles) in one place. The thing I love about this toy is that my son can play with this all alone. While I am driving, he is in the backseat having a good time and using his brain to figure out the many puzzles!
It makes me really happy to see him play with this toy and not be worried about his video games.
Both of my kids (Ages 9 & 5) LOVED this game! July 27, 2008
My kids were enthralled by this game from the moment it arrived! They even wanted to take this game on a camping trip and nothing else. If you're having any doubts, I would reconsider because it really gets children thinking. You won't regret buying this game.

I thought I should drop a few lines and tell you how much my 9 year old nephew loves this game. Honestly, we didn't know about the game until he was put in pedi-ICU at Baptist St. Anthony's Hospital in Amarillo, Texas. He has been diagnosed with Chiari Malformation (simply put, the hole in his cranium that allows the brain stem and spine to go through to the spinal column is too big and his brain stem has fallen down through the hole) and with that came SEVERE Headaches. After about a week in ICU he was able to take a trip to the play room and he found Rush Hour. This game challenged him to use his mind to think through moving the cars around to get the red one out. He was very good at it and loved the game so much that my sister-in-law and I decided to buy him his own. This game has traveled from his home in the very northern Panhandle of Texas to Lubbock to Dallas and in a few days he will be headed to New York to the Chiari Institute so he can be evaluated there. Thank you for keeping a sick little boy's mind challenged enough to quit thinking about his hurting head. The rest of us love to play it as well. So many times people don't writet about the good things. They only complain about the bad. I wanted to share this story with you. --Aunt Kim

This game is very appealing to boys because it has cars, but also very educational because it is puzzles to solve which uses reasoning! My son (5)has the JR. version and really likes it! It also comes with a storage bag that I love and its easy to take with you.
My son loves it. February 25, 2008

My 8 year old son played this at school and loved it. It keeps him occupied for at least an hour. He went through the first pack of cards in 2 weeks so I ordered 3 more packs. Very easy to set-up, pack-up, take in the card etc. Some of the puzzles are even challenging for adults! It can be a fun family game as well. If my son is stuck, Mom, Dad or brother usually try to give ideas. I would highly recommend it for problem solving skills.
