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

Review: Buy it great problem solving game !!! - This game is awesome! Really great for any age! My friend at 45 loves it and a 7 year old. It’s fun challenging! Works your brain!
Review: Fun, Challenging, and Addictive - This toy instantly reminded me of a digital puzzle game I used to play on my phone, but it’s even better because it’s hands-on and screen-free. My kids (ages 8 and 10) and I have spent hours playing it together, and it never really gets old. Some of the puzzles are definitely challenging, which makes it fun for both kids and adults. The best part is that you can reset the puzzle and try again as many times as you want, so there’s no frustration if you don’t solve it right away. It’s durable, holds up well to repeated use, and is compact enough to be travel-friendly. You can play solo or turn it into a group activity, which we love. This has been a big hit in our house and is great for keeping kids engaged while building problem-solving skills. Cons: Some puzzles may be challenging for younger kids without help

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Approximately how long does it take to work through one puzzle?  I teach 4th grade and thought this would be a fun "free time" activity.**
A: Hello!  Thank you for your email!  This would be an awesome game for "free time" for your students.  One game takes approximately 5-10 minutes. As the challenges get harder (expert level), game may take about 10-15.

**Q: My son is turning 6 and pretty good at logic/puzzle things.  Would you recommend this set or the JR one?**
A: My son is 5 1/2 and LOVES this game. (I had the same internal debate.) He is very smart, but has mastered the beginner, intermediate, and is currently working on the advanced challenges. I would say for a kid who loves puzzles, this would be good.

**Q: Would either this or the Jr. set be fun for a 3 yr old?  My son is smart, but not sure if this would be too tough.  Other game suggestions??**
A: I think this set would be too difficult for a 3 yr. old.  I haven't seen the Jr. set, but believe that would be a better choice for now.  It is recommended for ages 5-15, so it should be challenging.  Setting up the game as the cards show is quite a learning process in itself.  You may need to help actually playing the game in the beginning.   It is a great game and is sure to be enjoyed, if not now, later.

**Q: I'd like to get Rush Hour for my daughter who just turned eight. I can't decide if I should get the "Jr" version or the regular one? Thoughts?**
A: All of my grand kids 5-10 play the regular version and love it.  Boys and girls. Individually and cooperatively.  I will be buying some other versions, but not the Jr.  They start with the easiest puzzles and work their way through them.  What they learn in one helps with the next.  Hope that helps!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun gift for the family
*by M***C on January 10, 2026*

This Rush Hour game was an excellent family Christmas gift. Every single person in our family, from the ages of 7 to 43, took an opportunity to try it out and see if they could solve it faster than the last person. The game is easy to understand and is fairly self-explanatory. The design is intuitive, and the cars are easily manipulated on the board. The game starts off less challenging, making a person think they can get through the levels quickly, but it soon becomes more challenging about halfway through the levels, making it fun for all ages and abilities. I do wish there was an easier way to hold the excess cars in the tray, as playing while sitting in a chair made it challenging when the levels changed, and I had to reach for the cars in the box on the ground, but otherwise it was an excellent education and entertaining game, and I would purchase it again in a heartbeat.
