## Description

desertcart.com 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 Product Description Rush Hour is one of ThinkFun's most popular stem toys for boys and girls, and has been an internationally bestselling brain teaser puzzle for over 20 years, with over 10 million units sold worldwide.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Approximately how long does it take to work through one puzzle?  I teach 4th grade and thought this would be a fun "free time" activity.**
A: Hello!  Thank you for your email!  This would be an awesome game for "free time" for your students.  One game takes approximately 5-10 minutes. As the challenges get harder (expert level), game may take about 10-15.

**Q: My son is turning 6 and pretty good at logic/puzzle things.  Would you recommend this set or the JR one?**
A: My son is 5 1/2 and LOVES this game. (I had the same internal debate.) He is very smart, but has mastered the beginner, intermediate, and is currently working on the advanced challenges. I would say for a kid who loves puzzles, this would be good.

**Q: Would either this or the Jr. set be fun for a 3 yr old?  My son is smart, but not sure if this would be too tough.  Other game suggestions??**
A: I think this set would be too difficult for a 3 yr. old.  I haven't seen the Jr. set, but believe that would be a better choice for now.  It is recommended for ages 5-15, so it should be challenging.  Setting up the game as the cards show is quite a learning process in itself.  You may need to help actually playing the game in the beginning.   It is a great game and is sure to be enjoyed, if not now, later.

**Q: I'd like to get Rush Hour for my daughter who just turned eight. I can't decide if I should get the "Jr" version or the regular one? Thoughts?**
A: All of my grand kids 5-10 play the regular version and love it.  Boys and girls. Individually and cooperatively.  I will be buying some other versions, but not the Jr.  They start with the easiest puzzles and work their way through them.  What they learn in one helps with the next.  Hope that helps!
