"Winner of 16 Awards!"

The Tarzan yell is the distinctive, ululating yell of the character Tarzan. And if I could put it to text - you can be sure it would be right here... heralding the thrilling challenge of this jungle puzzle.

Forget vines...here you have planks and tree stumps to wind your way across a raging river, getting up close & personal with gators, snakes, and piranhas.

This innovative brainteaser game (winner of 16 prestigous awards) is as challenging as they come. The jungle adventure theme makes it compelling to play.

Forty Beginner-to-Expert challenge cards show where to place stumps and planks to start each game, and a magnet in your feet makes moving the planks a snap. Finding your way all the way across...that won't be so easy!

A Think Fun bestseller and Wow....

    The Tarzan Yell Explained: (for no real reason.)

    Different stories exist as to how the sound effect of the Tarzan Yell was created. Newspaper columnist L. M. Boyd (circa 1970) provides, "Blended in with that voice are the growl of a dog, a trill sung by a soprano, a note played on a violin's G string and the howl of a hyena recorded backward." As portrayed, The Tarzan Yell was ostensibly created by actor Johnny Weissmuller in the films based on the Tarzan character. Credit for the conception of the famed "Tarzan" goes to Edgar Rice Burroughs.

    My daughter, 7-1/2, really enjoys this game, as it challenges her reasoning skills. Even when Mom and Dad sit down beside her for a round, we are definitley challenged, too. Great designed game!!

    This is a great mind game for my students. The only problem I see is having to take it apart after solving each puzzle. Otherwise, its been a lot of fun!

    I bought this game for my nephew. It doesn't look challenging, but is. The cards get progressively more difficult which make it a great game for older kids. It is nice and compact and a great game to take on road trips.

    We have both River Crossing and River Crossing Jr and I recommend either of them to a puzzle loving family. I wish the games could be stored more easily either in their original box or that everything would fit in or under the plastic platform. The bags aren't that great for storing on a shelf.

    Excellent

    This is a fun game for all ages. My husband and I are hooked on it. My 5 year old son can do the initial simple routes. My 3 year old daughter loves setting up the board for us with the pegs and the bridges.
