ThinkFun Rush Hour

This is such an incredible game for both kids and adults. No screens - just plain old brain cells doing their work. My 6 and 7 year olds love it, and I love watching them use their head for figuring out solutions. Teaches them grit and perseverance - don't give up till you get that car out! It's small size makes it great for compact storage, and the cheap price is great on my wallet. Excellent buy!

This has been a great tool to help my child by challenging her to problem solve, use spatial recognition, and in a way that makes learning fun.I purchased this for my 8 year old but my 4 year old has also had fun with this!I love that it has different levels of difficulty so as the kids learn and grow the puzzles get tougher.This gets used every week at my house!It was also recommended by our GATE teacher for a great activity to do over the summer that is fun but still stimulating their learning.

Every kid (no matter how old they are) should have this game! It is excellent for training the brain. Small "choker" pieces, so, play WITH a toddler and watch what they do with the small pieces!

Great for gifted prep. This is fun and will keep kids and adults occupied. Had it for our kids and now our grandkids.

I dont know about my kids, but I enjoy it! Very cool concept. Requires some serious thinking. Difficult for my young daughter to think it through. You'll look at it yourself and wonder how it's possible to get the little red car out by only sliding other vehicles up and down, but others only left or right. It's a pretty small game, could played in the car.

This game is a little addictive! It’s like a game on your phone but screen-free. There are 40 cards that tell you how to set up the logic puzzle in different ways using plastic cars on a “parking lot” grid. The cars move forward or backward only, and you goal is always the same: to get the red car out of the lot. The 40 cards are in order of increasing difficulty so it’s like a game with 40 levels to master. The solutions are on the back of each card but my family has never needed to use them.The cards fit in a handy little drawer in the parking lot game board. I just wish the plastic cars fit in a compartment somewhere too! The game does include a small drawstring bag to store pieces in, but this isn’t a great solution because the little cars can fall out of the bag’s opening pretty easily. Also, the board doesn’t fit in the bag with them so it’s not a great design—I wish it could all be contained in one thing. I have seen a travel case for the game for sale on Amazon, but 1) I don’t really want to spend the money and 2) I don’t think it’s a great idea to travel with this game because if you lose one car, the whole set is basically useless. When I travel with kids we bring Plus-Plus building pieces because they are all the same so it’s not a big deal if you lose a couple.So I would rate this game as 5 stars for being a fun, giftable, moderately challenging logic puzzle that is great for the recommended ages but Amazon asked me to rate on travel ability so I will say 4 stars overall

I loved this game as kid and although some of the cards might be too tricky for him, my 7yo loves figuring the diff configurations out. It’s a great quiet time game that will grow with him.

Thought it looked silly and dumb. I was wrong. It looks simple but it’s not. My 8 and 5 year olds have been hooked to this game. Very good for their brains.
