Winner of 19 Prestigious Awards! A best-selling mind puzzle past and present!
Bumper to bumper excitement that's jam-packed with challenge...4 big rig trucks, 11 compact cars. Your speedy red sports car stuck in the gridlock.
Your desire to do anything else comes to a screeching halt when you attempt to unsnarl the traffic challenges in Rush Hour and make your "full speed ahead" escape.
A flashy red sports car, (that's you-naturally), is stuck in a meddle of 4 big rig trucks and 11 compact cars. Do you curse, break into a sweat, give up, give in to the pressure? Noooo Waayyyy!! Sliding colorful blocks-you rev cars & trucks forward, backward. Shifting the vehicle positions and weakening the gridlock...until Phheww! Freedom on the open road! ( and IF you're in a brain jam...hopelessly halted, there will be no citing for traffic violations - just dump out the pieces and start again!)
Better than a brain teaser, Rush Hour is a premier sliding block puzzle designed to challenge your sequential thinking skills. Start simple with Level 1 puzzles and by the time you hit Level 4, you'll be hitting the high road with handling expertise in problem solving.
Paving the way for whole family fun, this set includes 40 challenge cards from Beginner to Expert (Rush Hour is designed to challenge all skill levels.) 16 Cars, 1 Grid Tray for play with a neat pull-out tray for easy storage.
The genius who invented the game is Nob Yoshigahara, a world-renowned inventor of puzzles. Now, Nob may have dealt with his share of "What was that name again?", but believe us...people recognize his best selling games. Rush Hour is such a run-away favorite it's now available in Rush Hour Jr., Railroad, and Safari Editions.
Keep Rush Hour tucked under your coffee table and you'll keep a freeway of fun at everyone's fingertips.

Would Recommend Rush Hour
Posted 2/5/2008 by Lita Brown
Rating: 
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.

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.

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!!!!

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!!

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.
