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 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.

Client Critiques

My two youngsters ages 8 and 7 appreciate this, as do my husband and I. It's great in making thinking skills. The challenging cards are sufficient to stump the adults, however the newbie cards are a superb beginning point for the youngsters. A outstanding game to take areas exactly where you have to sit and wait for awhile. I extremely recommend it!

The concept is so hassle-free it's ingenious. Drive your automobile in a straight line. But if you've ever been in NY during rush hour, you know that's not usually straightforward. I am of course referring to gridlock, that bane of city targeted traffic, when no automobiles can move. Well in Rush Hour, you get to move around all the automobiles and trucks to clear a path for your self. The game comes with a set of cards (readily stored in the plastic tray) that show where to set up the automobiles. That takes a minute, but some of the puzzles take a lengthy time to solve. They range from quite easy to particularly hard. And Binary Arts sells extra card sets so the fun under no circumstances ends! This game is sure to make a lot of children into civil engineers. As for durability, you could in all probability throw this game out the window although driving on the highway, and it would be ok. Just improved hope it really is not rush hour!
