Players set up the cars and trucks on a game grid to match one of forty color-coded challenge cards, and then try to maneuver the red car to escape the gridlock. Four levels of play range from beginner to expert. Measures 9"W x 8"H x 2.5"D.
Honk! Honk! 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

Sooo Much Fun!!!!:
I love this toy. It is great for all ages. My six year old daughter and nine year old son love it. My husband and I love to play too.

This is a great toy! Comes with a string tie bag to keep all the little pieces (vehicles) in one place. The thing I love about this toy is that my son can play with this all alone. While I am driving, he is in the backseat having a good time and using his brain to figure out the many puzzles!
It makes me really happy to see him play with this toy and not be worried about his video games.
Both of my kids (Ages 9 & 5) LOVED this game!:
My kids were enthralled by this game from the moment it arrived! They even wanted to take this game on a camping trip and nothing else. If you're having any doubts, I would reconsider because it really gets children thinking. You won't regret buying this game.
Rush Hour Fun:
I thought I should drop a few lines and tell you how much my 9 year old nephew loves this game. Honestly, we didn't know about the game until he was put in pedi-ICU at Baptist St. Anthony's Hospital in Amarillo, Texas. He has been diagnosed with Chiari Malformation (simply put, the hole in his cranium that allows the brain stem and spine to go through to the spinal column is too big and his brain stem has fallen down through the hole) and with that came SEVERE Headaches. After about a week in ICU he was... more info
