Rush Hour Traffic Jam Brain Game and STEM Toy for Boys and Girls Age 8+

Rush Hour, one of the most popular STEM toys for boys and girls from ThinkFun, has been an internationally bestselling brain teaser puzzle for over 20 years, with over 10 million units sold worldwide. This fun traffic jam logic game comes with 40 challenges of increasing difficulty, from beginner to expert, making it a great birthday or holiday present for kids who enjoy smart games and engaging activities. Rush Hour is built with high-quality components and includes a very clear and easy-to-understand instruction manual, allowing players to start enjoying the game within minutes of opening the box.

Like all of ThinkFun's offerings, Rush Hour is designed to develop critical thinking skills. As players progress through the increasingly difficult challenges, they will improve their logical reasoning and problem-solving abilities, all while experiencing the enjoyment of gameplay. The objective is to get the red car off the road, navigating through a gridlock of vehicles.

To play, the player selects one of the 40 challenge cards, with the solutions printed on the back of each card. They then set up the cars and buses in the specified pattern on the 6-inch-square road grid. The task is to move the vehicles one by one, obeying traffic laws, until the red car can escape the traffic jam. There are four levels of difficulty, allowing players to either alternate turns with another player or "play in traffic" alone.

The game from Binary Arts has 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 as both a playing tray and for storage. The game cards can be stowed away in a drawer in the road grid.

With over 50 million sold, ThinkFun is the world's leading manufacturer of brain games and mind-challenging puzzles. Rush Hour is one of the all-time most popular STEM toys and gifts for boys and girls ages 8 and up, providing a great stealth learning experience that develops reasoning and planning skills.
