Amazon.co.uk Review
This captivating game could have been made with London's rush hour in mind. In fact Rush Hour was invented by American games company Binary Arts. In the US it went down a storm, winning various prizes including a national award from Mensa. The objective of Rush Hour is to move the little red car out of the snarled up traffic gridlock that the game begins with. Rush Hour arrives with 40 challenge cards, which depict various gridlock scenarios to set up your traffic jam to. Use the coloured Troublesome Trucks and Aggravating Autos to reflect the chaos on your particular challenge card. Then all you have to do is move the blocking vehicles up or down on the grid in order to free up the escape route for your own red car. And yet this wonderfully simple concept is enthrallingly more difficult to execute. Who knows, maybe the real London rush hour is easier on the nerves than the Binary Arts version. The challenge cards themselves offer four different levels of complexity and all solutions are printed on the back. Yet not only is Rush Hour great fun but it can also boast strong educational benefits, teaching problem solving to children of seven years plus. In the US Rush Hour is used in some primary school maths classes. Even a smart four-year-old will find some reward by trying to replicate the traffic set-up scenario of the challenge cards. Rush Hour can be enjoyed by one player or various players competing. Suitable for children from 7 years old and all adults who enjoy an ingenious little challenge.--Victoria Mackenzie

traffic jam puzzle May 12, 2010
great puzzle, starts off quite easily but gets very difficult, good for problem solving and thinking laterally
Huge value and thoughtful fun May 8, 2010

This toy contains forty puzzles that start with an easy solution and gradually build up to a puzzle which requires fifty or more moves to solve. I've played this with two seven year olds both of whom have carefully figured it out and worked their way through from the simple solutions right up into the mid range. They both leave it for a week or two then go back to it. Both sets of parents have got to the end. One child described it as "Like picking a lock!" (Where'd she get that idea from!). Its small, neat, durable, easy to understand, solidly made, and it asks you to think sequentially - but if you want to leave it and go and have a snack and come back, you can. You can re-set the game and start over, you can cheat and look at the back of the cared and go to the answer and then try to do it without looking at the card... Its great.
Excellent fun February 14, 2010

This was recommended for my dyslexic children and it gives them great fun, great for their brains to work out the problems, thoroughly recommend.

I first used to play this puzzle many years ago, as my mum and dad had it. Then just this christmas 09 I wanted to get one for myself, as I enjoyed it so much! Santa must have got my note, because I got one. It's a fun puzzle, thats simple to start with, then as you progress through the cards which show how to set the puzzle up, it becomes harder as you go along.
