Mom Posted 11/25/2008 by Jodi
We love this game, my son is Autistic and we were turned on to this game during one of his therapy session. Ever since then I have looked for it in the stores but couldn't find it. It's very engaging, he's 6 and some of the puzzles are challenging but it works great because it pushes his threshold of fustration and that's exactly what we were working on in therapy. He gets a big kick out of solving the puzzles and it's a great family activity to do together. We also bought rush hour junior for my daughter who is 4 and she finds it challenging but fun as well. I highly recommend this to any puzzle lovers and those looking for a challenge!

i PURCHASED THIS PRODUCT AS A BIRTHDAY PRESENT AND CHRISTMAS PRESENT. ALTHOUGH WE HAVE PLAYED THIS GAME AND LOVED IT. I RECOMMENDED IT TO A FRIEND.
Rush Hour Posted 5/30/2008 by TABITHA MCCLELLAN
Rush hour is a wonderful game that teaches problem solving skills. I am using it in my classroom as a center game and the kids absolutely love it!
Rush Hour Posted 10/17/2006 by Asoke Papaly
I like the product, but it is too soon to tell if my son likes it. However, the instructions were non-existent, and my 8 year old son would not have been able to figure out the object of the game by himself.
Rush Hour is a great game! Posted 7/24/2012 by PATTI R OWEN
We have both the Rush Hour and Rush Hour Jr. games. My 6-year old daughter loves to play with both and is actually quite good at solving the puzzles. My 3-year old son just loves to play with the cars. The kiids can play by themselves--it keeps them entertained for quite a long time--or we can sit down together and do the puzzles together too. We love this game and have purchased it multiple times as a gift also.
Product review of Rush Hour Posted 7/28/2009 by Peter Larson - GRANDPARENT
It's a lot of fun to work out the situations. This type of activity is helpful for better visualization of possible chess strategy.
Review for Rush Hour Posted 4/1/2009 - EDUCATOR
We all thoroughly enjoyed the Rush Hour toy. Bought both the jr. version & the adult one. Everyone played it from 6 yrs. to 60. It held interest.
Excellent Classroom Purchase Posted 3/27/2009 by Chad Sopata - EDUCATOR
I purchased the Rush Hour game for my 6th grade Science classroom. The students absolutely enjoying playing and challenging each other to solve the different arrangements. It is has been a great way for them to improve there spatial reasoning skills while having fun at the same time. A very well designed puzzle game!
Product review of Rush Hour Posted 10/7/2010 by ELLEN CARSTENSEN
My 7 year old LOVES puzzles and has been putting together 100 piece puzzles since he was 5. I was looking for something that didn't take up so much room and could travel to and from grandma's house too. He LOVES this game and is already through the beginner puzzles. My husband loves it too and will sit from 45 mins. work on the hardest puzzles. It's one of the best toys/games I purchased in years!
Rush Hour Posted 12/22/2009 by Joshua Rhea
Both my boys 13 and 8 loved this game. We have enjoyed hours of family time together. As a 38 year old dad I really have a hoot! Playing this interactive game with my kids. ( Am I really admitting to this ) Anyway thanks to Fat Brain for the posting the Awesome rating system. Which has made Christmas buying not only easy but has made me a Hero to my boys!
Review for Rush Hour Posted 5/4/2009
Great game! It is challenging and keeps my son's attention for a long time. The game is also easy to transport so it's perfect for vacation.
GREAT GAME! Posted 7/17/2012 by Stacie Edwards
My boys love this game! And as a mom I love it too! In this game you set the vehicles up the way the card shows. And then you have to use thinking skills to strategically slide the other cars out of the way to make room for the special car you have to slide off the base! No picking up the cars though! It's great fun and my boys feel very successful when they think it through and get the car out! It's also nice that the cards are arranged in increasingly harder levels. So my 5 year old can start at card #1 and my 8 year old can start more in the middle of the deck.
toys for gifted 9 yr old boy Posted 11/24/2010 by Claudia Ginsberg-Brown - RELATIVE
Hard to find something that rivals the Wii games but these items really did it. Also, RUSH HOUR is a real brain teaser. I am a pediatric Occupational Therapist and this game has been a smash for smart kids for many years-- finally got one for my nephew when I thought he could appreciate it. The other gift was one that sparks creativity and experimentation. Super stuff!!!
Review for Rush Hour Posted 3/17/2010 by Stan Tager - GRANDPARENT
7 year old boy was very happy with the product. Hands on toys are his thing
Rush Hour Posted 2/10/2010 by Ann Sheeran - OTHER
Love the concept of this game and the fact that it seems very sturday and has a bag to store the small pieces.
Directions a little confusing, otherwise good Posted 3/11/2008 by Erika Rich
I am a clinical psychologist and bought Rush Hour to use with my clients who need work on concentration and cognitive planning. The best thing about this product is that it comes with a bag to put all the pieces in and also the cards fit conveniently in a little drawer. It packs up easily and pieces are less likely to get lost. I do think it works as I intended, but I would like to see it as a two-person game. It would be easy to create such a version, with people taking turns moving the one car or "racing" to get out of the traffic jam with puzzles featuring two cars. I also found the directions to be a little bit confusing, stating that the player is the "fancy car" when the cars look the same, just different colors. Examination of the cards reveals that "fancy"=red. The solutions on the cards are also hard to follow. But, overall, it is a good, unique game.
Rush Hour Traffic Jam Posted 2/5/2007 by Christi A
I purchased Rush Hour for my 5 year old son. I was worried that he might be too young for it, but he was able to do all the beginner cards right away and a couple of the intermediate ones. We play games and cards every night. I was looking for one that he could do himself, that he wouldn't grow tired of right away, and that would also stimulate his mind. Rush Hour more than met my expectations! I am buying more of these for upcoming birthday parties. The adults in our family like it too!
Rush Hour Posted 6/23/2009 by Emily Barre
This is a wonderful addicting game that exercises your brain and keeps you thinking. I bought it for my children originally (10 years ago) and found myself fighting with them for a turn so I could play! I gave it to my nephew and I just repurchased it for myself. I also bought all the expansion sets so I could have more to play.
Product review of Rush Hour Posted 9/13/2009 by Eileen Gulbrandsen Glenn
I love this game! I am a coordinator in my school district for assessing gifted students. When I write a letter home, I recommend books, games, etc. for the students who have been assessed. I often recommend Rush Hour. Recently, we brought our game with us when we visited friends in MA. They loved it so much, that I came home and immediately ordered the game for them. They received it and played it all Labor Day weekend with guests they had. Their guests enjoyed it immensely as well.
A Must Have Posted 9/9/2009 by Tanya Thomas
We LOVE logic games at our home an this one is no exception! AS a mom, I love how this game has a pouch to store all the pieces thus we take it camping! Even grandpa got involved in trying this game out!
Review of Rush Hour Posted 7/7/2008
TYhis is a great game for individual play. Great as a gift. There are several add-on packs of cards so there are a lot of new challenges.
My rating of Rush Hour Posted 7/20/2012 by Terri Ornes
I bought Rush Hour for a gift after my boys receivedit as a gift! we had so much fun with this game I wanted to pass it on.
Review for Rush Hour Posted 2/15/2012 by Carolyn
My students loved challenging themselves on increasingly higher levels. The vehicles were fun to manipulate. This game is great for visual reasoning and logical thinking.
My rating of Rush Hour Posted 11/14/2011 by kendra shea - RELATIVE
I first bought this toy for my two teenaged boys and we played with it as a family frequently. I just purchased it as a christmas present for my 7 year old nephew. I'm sure he will love it!
Rush Hour Posted 11/13/2011 by Wayne Howe
This is something I play with often next to my computer and play with every day
My rating of Rush Hour Posted 11/3/2011 by Ann Fitzmorris - GRANDPARENT
This was bought as a gift. My seven year old granddaughter loves it.
Great Game! Posted 5/14/2011 - GRANDPARENT
I gave it to my 6 1/2 year old grandson when we visited. He was fascinated immediately and started working through the puzzles from the easiest on. When we were at breakfast at the hotel, and he was playing with it, several children watched with interest. When he got stuck, even after starting over, I showed him how to read the solutions, and that was also fun. I think it's a great toy that also is easy to pack up and travel with. The only suggestion would be that the bag that it came with is almost too small.
Review for Rush Hour Posted 4/24/2011 by Jen
My son, age 8, plays with it frequently. My daughter, age 10, also likes it.
Product review of Rush Hour Posted 12/24/2010
great interactive toy to make problem solving fun - can be play alone or with a group
Review for Rush Hour Posted 11/19/2010
We purchased this for our 7 year old who loves mazes. In some ways it is like a 3-D maze. He loves to work on the puzzles. It is great in the car and waiting rooms! Comes with a drawer to keep the cards in and a bag for the pieces. Instead of a mindless video game he is thinking and problem solving.
Information about Rush Hour Posted 11/18/2010
My 8 year old loves games...all kinds, and this one is a hit :) He likes the challenge of figuring out a new strategy every time.
My rating of Rush Hour Posted 12/28/2009
My 9 year old asked for this for Christmas. It is fun for everyone! My husband plays it everyday.
My rating of Rush Hour Posted 12/27/2009 by Dawn
Santa brought the gift for my 9 year old daughter who loves this challenging game, but so does my 18 year old and husband who sit in traffic every day. All find it not only challenging but addicting.
Rush Hour Posted 11/19/2009
I bought this for my daughter's classroom (grade 2 and 3). They love it and play it often at free time.
Challenging and Fun Posted 5/16/2008
This has been a fun and challenging game for my 7-yr-old boy. My daughters, ages 6 & 9, were curious about it and became "hooked" too. There are 4 levels of play so a child can work his/her way up to more challenging levels. This game is super for developing spatial awareness, problem-solving skills, and multi-step logic.
Fun, challenging game Posted 3/16/2008 by Paulette
A challenging toy that requires you to think spatially & sequentially. Although he is a little young for it, my 6.5-year old loves it. I do too!
Rush Hour game Posted 3/6/2008 by Glenda
Our family is having fun manipulating the cars. There are quite a few levels of play included. The kids enjoy both setting up the board to match the playing card, and finding the most efficient solution. I'm leaving the game on the coffee table -- I think it will get a lot of use.
Would Recommend Rush Hour Posted 2/5/2008 by Lita Brown
The game is simple to use and understand. Just set the cars on the board according to the configuration on the game card, 30 or so cards in a pack. Then move the cars around to create a clear path for the red car to exit. My son is 8 and loves this game! Once you advance a little, you can play the cards again and again since many of solutions are multi-step and aren't remembered from one time to the next. It comes with a bag to store all the pieces so it is easy to store and take in the car. It makes a great birthday present!! Can purchase additional packs of cards.
Rush Hour Review Posted 1/31/2008 by Linda King Thomas
Well designed materials and storage of cards and cars/trucks. Easy to understand directions. I do find that the beginner cards can be used by children younger than 8 years.
Product review of Rush Hour Posted 5/28/2007
This puzzle game poses a fun and engaging type of mental challenge with a wide range of difficulty levels. I wish the plastic cars were more uniform in their manufacturing tolerances so they would all slide easily past each other. Some have wheels that are more widely spaced so they catch on neighboring cars when moved.
Rush Hour for the Whole Family Posted 12/21/2006 by Brian D Lavoie
We first encountered Rush Hour when we shared a beach house with another family - friends of ours and our kids for years. Both family's Dads liked the puzzle and the kids (age 7) tried out the lower levels. A great visual puzzle, and kid-friendly. We decided (well, I, the Dad, decided) to get one for the family. A great mental-exercise toy.
Rush Hour Posted 3/16/2006 by Isaac Student - GRANDPARENT
This is a fascinating game for youngsters. It develops logical thinking, and it is fun as well.
Great game Posted 12/19/2005 by Angela
I have given this as a gift three times now, and it is a big hit every time!
My rating of Rush Hour Posted 1/11/2010 by Jean
My son-in-law loves the game Rush and my 2 sons were not interested at all in the game. I think it is a great way to challenged your brain.
Rush Hour Posted 1/31/2008 by Linda
Rush Hour is fantastic. I highly recommend it! My fourth grade students love it. It fosters problem solving and higher level thinking. I also enjoy playing it, and know many other adults who have gotten hooked.
Busy, Mind- Stimulating Fun!!!! Posted 1/28/2008 by Tammy Palmieri
This is an exceptional toy for your child, or anyone for that matter. It's quite challenging for my first grade son, but once his brain started rolling out the logic he became addicted!! I must admit I couldn't wait for him to finish playing so I could try it myself! It's a great toy to travel with as well, as it comes with a handy carrying case. I do wish there was a separate compartment to keep the cars because if you lose one, the game cannot be played. Overall, I'm highly satisfied and recommend this game to every little curious and inquisitive mind out there!! One note I chose not to purchase the junior level as recommended for his age and I am so happy because he would have conquered that one way too soon!!
My rating of Rush Hour Posted 9/8/2012
We bought this before a trip and it made the lengthy rides more bearable. Compact and consuming, the whole family enjoyed playing.
A rating of Rush Hour Posted 6/15/2012 by Shirley Jacobs - GRANDPARENT
My 8 year old grandson likes to play chess. This game uses some of the same statagies. He likeds the challenge
Review of Rush Hour Posted 5/22/2012 by Karen Bousselot
My kids and I all enjoy playing this game. My 7-year old can sometimes solve the easier challenges. For the more difficult puzzles, she lets me solve most of it then she steps in and finishes. She even enjoys setting up a very advanced challenge and then using the solution on the back of the card to solve it step by step. We take this in our camper and play at home.

one of the most popular toys in our daycare! we have two kids with ADHD that wait for the other to finish so theyu can play

Bought this as a Christmas gift for my grand kids. They have hardly put it down. This is a wonderful game.
Rush Hour Posted 1/9/2012 by Deborah Gillis
When my nephew opened the package, he was very excited as one of his friends had this game and he was excited about solving the puzzle.
Grandson Loves This! Posted 12/7/2011 by B Thompson
Bought this for my grandson for a xmas gift as he ALWAYS plays with it at the library and loves it.
My rating of Rush Hour Posted 5/10/2011 by RENEE M HENDRICKS
great toy. kids LOVE playing it
Great fun for 5 - 10 year olds Posted 4/12/2011 by Will
The plastic game board, car pieces and pattern cards are all sturdy and high-quality. The different play patterns are easy to follow and my 4 year old can set them up and complete puzzles 1-6. A neighbor's 7 year old can complete up through 20, and a 10 year old cousin can complete most of the set when given enough time for trial-and-error.
Great game that requires patience to enjoy Posted 4/11/2011 by Edwin Nazarian
This game is for the eight and up and I mean UP. You (as parents) will be hooked. As a matter of fact, you might wanna consider getting two so you can bear to part with the one you bought for your kids. There are four levels here with the Beginner being nice for even five or six year olds and the Expert being truly difficult for adults. I can still solve them but they require looking and fiddling and trying moves and perhaps backing up and... well... exercising patience. It makes you appreciate the process and wonder at how you arrived at the solution. Play this game with your kid and help them reason through it to select the moves themselves and you will appreciate those results as well.
My rating of Rush Hour Posted 4/7/2011 by Board Game Lover
Rush Hour is a great game. My daughter played with it a school game fair and she just couldn't stop playing with it. It really gets the problem solving and strategic planning going. Love this game!
My rating of Rush Hour Posted 3/30/2011 - GRANDPARENT
This is my first visit to your site. However i had purchased several Think Fun Games. This games are mind enchancing and don't need batteries.
Product review of Rush Hour Posted 3/27/2011 by STACIA O
I like the different choices of difficulty to choose from they are an awesome way to work your way up to more challenging puzzles. Makes your child think about problem solving.
My rating of Rush Hour Posted 3/24/2011 by Grandma - GRANDPARENT
everyone in the family got involved with the game it was a big hit. The size turned out to be perfect. I was a bit concerned as this was being packed in my suitcase but it traveled well and would also be a good game to take on long trips. Non electronic! No batteries you actually got to think things through and have fun doing it.
so much fun Posted 1/11/2011 by Neil Clarke
My nephew loves this game. He will sit for hours playing with it. The rest of the family also enjoy it
Information about Rush Hour Posted 12/22/2010 by Lois Lundin - GRANDPARENT
We wanted something that was challenging and fun, something our friend's 10 year old son could play with alone or work on together with his family. This is a great game and he loves it! It helps to encourage kids to think creatively and strategically. No buttons, no noise, no batteries, no TV or computer required. It's just a great game.
Review of Rush Hour Posted 12/20/2010 by Lyned Campbell - GRANDPARENT
Rush Hour offers unlimited opportunity to exercise thinking and reasoning skills. The child that received this gift spends some time by themselves. Rush Hour provides easy level to expert, thus allowing him to challenge himself as far as he is ready.
best game ever Posted 12/14/2010 by shravani Gaddam
this toy is awesome, you have to think for each level
A favorite toy! Posted 12/27/2009 by Karen H
My daughter started with Rush Hour Jr when she was 6, and I just got her the "full" version. We both absolutely love this game as it requires multiple-step problem-solving. It also requires an understanding of spatial relations. Some of them are pretty challenging, but all puzzles are solvable - and my now 8-year old girl is full of pride each time she solves one of the puzzles.
Challenging and Fun Posted 12/23/2009 by Geraldine Quinlan - GRANDPARENT
Rush Hour keeps the player engrossed for lengthy periods of time, and my grandson, age 10, comes back to it often. Several levels of difficulty ensure not only challenge but also success. Can be enjoyed by children from 8 or so up to adults. (there is a Rush Hour Jr. for younger children.) The small cars and grid are small but sturdy and well made.
Rush Hour - Addicting! Posted 12/17/2009 by B. Williams - RELATIVE
I love this game! I teach gifted children and have a couple of these puzzles in my classroom; and everyone from my kindergarteners to my 6th graders plays with them. I love that it is engaging, teaches resoning skills, is multi-level, and most of all, fun!

This toy is frustratingly fun. We used it a a relatives house and had to have it!

Review of Rush Hour Posted 11/30/2009 by Jo Ann Cork
My grandson played with Rush Hour in a Children's museum in the Seattle area and loved it. My husband also helped him with it and we thought it would be a great present to keep his mind busy! Have been unable to find it in any stores.
Great Toy Posted 5/29/2008 by KC
I bought this for my 7 year old daughter and she loves it. It encourages creativity and problem solving skills. It's fun to play alone or with others. Also good for travel.
Fantastic Game Posted 5/15/2008 by Sarah Adams
We love this game. It's very "math-y" and requires thinking ahead, being observant, and solving problems.
Rush hour, flexible brain-exercise for almost all ages Posted 3/30/2008 by Nica Carson
Although, the stated age on this game is 8+, my almost 5 year old had seen it at another home and has solved the first 8 or so puzzles so far. She likes it as an independent activity and the compact packaging allows me to keep it accessible as she is able to put it away by herself when she's done. Her 3 year old brother likes to simply match the setup pattern on the board with the right shape and colour of vehicle (and also "vrooming" the cars on the table around the board). I don't think that the clear plastic cover over the board and cars will hold up in the long run, but since the game now comes with a drawstring pouch, it won't really matter when that part ends up in the trash. Since the puzzles get progressively harder and there are expansion packs available, I expect that this game will stay around for quite some time and may well accompany us on our next trip for use at the hotel during down time instead of the TV!
Rush Hour Posted 1/24/2008 by Kim Snyder
Rush Hour is a fun game that will challenge any child. It becomes quite addicting once you play. Kids and adults can enjoy the same game as each person can play at their own level. You will become obsessed with making it to the next level.
Rush hour - A Great Staple In Your Home Posted 1/13/2008
This is a great fun logic game that both my 5 and 6 year olds have enjoyed. They originally played the game online but it's really nice to have the "real thing" in the house do they can play the game without being in front of a screen.
Great Game Posted 1/10/2008
We bought this for our son's 7th birthday. He often gets frustrated with games. But, he loves this one. He quickly solved the easiest levels which helped to build his confidence to try some of the more advanced cards. When our son isn't playing with Rush Hour, our 9-year old daughter uses it and loves it, too.
Review of Rush Hour Posted 1/2/2008 by Claudia Bell
I had seen this game before and bought for my daughter to play on a trip to Florida. The whole family has enjoyed the game and I appreciate the packaging to travel light and easy.
Excellent Item Posted 12/31/2007 by Janet Heitshusen - GRANDPARENT
I bought this for our 6 1/2 year old grandson. He's had fun trying to figure out the challenge and is doing great at the beginning level. His mom and dad are still trying to do the expert level. It's great for all ages and takes real thinking power to figure out the challenge. Highly recommend this!
Information about Rush Hour Posted 12/31/2007 by Lindsay Morrison
This came up in a search for kids 5-8 years, so I bought it. However, this is the adult version, which is more complicated than the kids' version, so I didn't give it to the child but will return it. I think my problem is more with the wizard than the toy itself.
Rush Hour Posted 12/27/2007 by Nancy
My 8 year old and 10 year old daughters both have a great time with this game. The cards progress in difficulty so that each of them can work at a level that is challenging without being frustrating. It's nice to find a game that one child can play alone.
A rating of Rush Hour Posted 12/16/2007 by Julie
The products I ordered are a gift and my son has not played it yet. However, I ordered it because I am a teacher and my son's teacher recommended that I order this game because he LOVES to play it at school. He brought it home one night and wanted to put Rush Hour on his Santa list. I am very excited to give it to him.
My rating of Rush Hour Posted 12/6/2007 by Mark Gibson
I think this is a great product. My 10 year old loves the challenge that it gives. He is a swimmer and during down time at competition he likes to play Rush Hour. I love the fact that there are additional card sets that we can order once he has finished the challanges.
Excellent Transaction Posted 11/7/2007 by Karrie Helt
My students loved it the very first time I pulled it out for them to play.
Rush Hour Posted 11/2/2007 by Wendy James
My 11 year old daughter loves Rush Hour. I bought this to help with her eyes and visual thinking. Her 15 year old sister sits and plays with it for hours. We have all enjoyed trying to get out of the traffic jam.
Entertainment for Ages 8 to 38 Posted 8/11/2007
Rush Hour is really a puzzle with many many different set-ups and solutions. There is a range of difficulty levels so it can be enjoyed by many different age levels. The design is so simple, and the pieces are large enough that they won't be lost easily. I gave it as a gift to a 38 year old who loves it. His 8 year old son plays with it at restaurants. He likes it better than his video games!
Rush Hour Posted 7/18/2007 by Paula Sholts
What fun the Rush Hour game is to play! It is difficult to find a game for just one person to entertainment themselves. This was fun for all levels of competence. I will be ordering another one to have at my home, as Grandma loved it too.
Rush Hour - A Thinking Challenge Posted 7/16/2007 by Bonnie L. Oke, OTR, MOT
I am a Pediatric Ocupational Therapist, and use thinking/motor planning/visual perception games to help students strengthen their fine motor skills. I have used 'Railroad Rush Hour' for many years, and ordered the original 'Rush Hour' so 2 students can work at once on the same task. 'Rush Hour' is much more challenging and difficult (and with smaller pieces)! I found it is more suitable AFTER the use of the Railroad Rush Hour. Students look forward to me bringing this game, and they enjoy watching each other solve the "problems". I also like the storage tray for the cards.
Excellent Fun Learning! Posted 6/26/2007 by Guy W. Thompson
This game is not only fun learning but also excellent therapeutic material for psychological and language therapy as well as just enriched family time. If a person just uses it as a silent logic puzzle, then it's only fun learning. However, if a family or teacher or professional therapist wants to encourage identifying a problem, verbally stating a possible plan sequence, narrating feelings of frustration, patience, flexibility, and then one's happy satisfaction, then the game's purposes just expand logrithmically. Excellent toy! As a psychologist I invent toys and games all the time but never take them to patenting and marketing.
Rush Hour Posted 6/21/2007 by WJ
The Rush Hour game will definitely help my 5 year olds's problem solving skills. I highly recommend it, although the plate and cars are not very durable.
Rush Hour Posted 5/24/2007 by Sandra Burke
Love this! I actually just ordered 3 more! Once people play with this they want it. This is great for all ages.
Rush Hour Posted 5/11/2007 by Anna Toy-Palmer
The Rush Hour product is absolutely wonderful! My son has completed all 40 puzzles within a week of receiving the game. It is an excellent family game. We, the parents, occasionally get to help! We are looking into buying the next few packs for him also.
3-D Problem Solving Posted 4/17/2007 by Nicole Henry
I first "met" this toy when a wonderful child was willing to share his game with me. He seemingly had as good of a time seeing the toy challenge me, as actually playing it. It is a challenging puzzle for adult or child. Even though it is challenging, its simple 3-dimensional design makes it accessible to any child. The pieces only move back and forth, so moving them around will eventually complete any level. The game is colorful. Each piece is a different color. Pieces are fun to move around and play with. It comes with 40 cards which show starting positions for 40 different puzzles of increasing difficulty. The puzzles should help develop problem solving skills. The first time around may be slow, but the second and third faster as the player learns & remembers tricks of the puzzle. One of the best aspects -it is a challenge for an adult that is doable by a child. I believe this gives the game a sort of reputation with the child and builds their self esteem when they complete puzzles that are not completely simple for adults. This game is 40 different puzzles in one, which is too much for any ordinary human to remember all of, which means this puzzle can last and last. The game is small and can be brought along, fit anywhere, or left on a desk for friends to play with. It comes with a cute bag so pieces are not easily lost. All in all, it is very well thought out.
Product review of Rush Hour Posted 4/15/2007 by Nick n Rys Mom
Great for strategy development for my 5 and 7 year olds.

Totally addicting! Be careful when letting people play...you might not get it back.
Product review of Rush Hour Posted 4/13/2007 by Kristyn Robinson
I'd played with Rush Hour before and thought it was a fun, challenging game. I kept at it - solving card after card. I recently bought it for my 9 year old daughter for her birthday. It's been a big hit. She likes it because she enjoys solving the puzzles. I like it because it helps build critical thinking and spatial skills.

It says on the package that it is for 6-8 year olds, but you can have kids as early as 3 years old play it. My 5 year old daughter can do almost all cards without help and just loves it. I strongly recommend it.

I gave this game to my 7 year old grandson. It is one of the best brain games that I have come across for a child.

All of my children, ages 21 - 30, are enjoying this game very much. Competition is the key - they time each other or count moves. I will probably purchase another one, so that they can play the same puzzle at the same time to determine who is the quickest. They even had it out at the breakfast table. Great Fun.

My kids and I love this game. I'm so impressed with all the Rush Hour games and spinoffs, because they are fun and quick while still being educational. It's so satisfying to free that little red car!
Fun And Good For You Too Posted 3/22/2007 by ST
My son loves this game. It was recommended to help him with sequential processing since he's behind in that area. It is by far his favorite therapy activity.

An ingenious puzzle that is easy to pick up and, with varying degrees of difficulty, appeals to all ages.

My 10 year old daughter, the primary user of the product loves it. We bought two, so we "race" each other to see who can get out the fastest. She is learning to think outside of the box. A great game, she actually uses it in her eye therapy classes. It helps the control and focus of the eye muscles in youngsters.

Great product. This product was bought to be used as a therapy tool for an adult with compromised cognitive abilities. It will also be used with our Grandson when he is old enough. The various vehicle types and bright colors, and the logic skills required to solve the problems are a wonderful alternative to video games. Product quality is very good.
Review of Rush Hour Posted 3/21/2007 by Kim H McAlister
My daughter really, really likes this game. We love the fact that it comes with a bag that stores the game. My daughter takes it everywhere. It is a great travel game. It is challenging. Rush Hour requires critical-thinking skills and problem-solving skills. This is an excellent learning game that is also enjoyable.

Excellent product! I ordered this for my 11 year old, but our whole family loves this game.
Rush Hour Posted 3/9/2007
This is a great toy for my 5 year old. He makes it through the beginner cards and then starts to get challenged with the intermediate cards. I also have purchased a second series of cards for down the road when he no longer is challenged by the existing set. This is a great game for trips with the carry bag and small size of the set. We have also purchased Rush Hour to give as gifts.
A Must Have For Everyone Posted 3/2/2007 by MENSA Member
This is a great game. My husband and I fight over who gets to play it. I just bought one for my nephew who's 6 and he didn't put it down for days. One of the great things is once you finish the pack of cards it comes with there are 3 additional packs you can get for the game. It's nice that it's a one player game, and you can work out each puzzle at your own rate. The concept is simple, but the learning is endless. I've already bought a 3rd one for my best friend's son, soon 7.
Great Name! Posted 3/1/2007
This toy is great for the whole family! It's simple, yet very thought provoking. I think it would make a great travel companion.

We love the product. It is a great way to get my children thinking. I even enjoy trying to solve the expert puzzles.
Great Toy Posted 2/25/2007 by Mls Laguna
Everyone in my family enjoys this game - from the 10 year to my mother who is 76! It is challenging and fun for all! I love it because it's not electronic, but rather requires use of the mind to solve problems. An excellent game.

We all love this game. It is great for young and old. It is nice to know that you are using your brain.
Great Brainwork for Kids and Adults! Posted 2/19/2007 by Connie
"Rush Hour" is a terrific game for kids and adults. I am a resources teacher in an elementary school and have an after-school club for 4th and 5th graders who enjoy playing brainy games. We have acquired a nice collection of fun books and games that encourage thinking and strategizing. We have both individual tasks/games and ones for 2-4 players. "Rush Hour" is unlike anything else we have. Kids love it! They each keep track of which cards (traffic jam patterns) they have solved. It is one of the first games off the shelves each week!
Rush Hour Game Posted 2/19/2007 by Sharon
My 14 year old daughter remembered playing the game in grade school and loved it. We bought it. It has 3 levels to play. Even the Beginner's is a bit of a challenge, but lots of fun. A great "thinking" game for lots of ages - even adults.

We are thoroughly thrilled with your Rush Hour games! They keep our kids entertained and engaged for hours. Thanks for coming up with a game that is quiet to play with and helps them develop a healthy brain.

An excellent toy that is educational as well as fun. Children of many ages can enjoy this game. My 8 year old likes it as does my 14 year old.
Rush Hour Posted 2/13/2007 by R P Brown
This puzzle has been fun for our entire family, from our 6 year old to mom and dad. We keep it in the living room, and when anyone feels like doing one of the cards, they sit and work on it. This game helps keep us away from mindless TV, and gives us some brain-functioning exercise during the cold winter months.
