Product Description
Product Description
Younger players can experience the fun and challenge of the award-winning Rush Hour game in this exciting junior version. Help: The ice cream truck is stuck in traffic. Just like the classic Rush Hour game, you shift the blocking cars, trucks and buses in their lanes--up and down, left and right until the path is clear for the ice-cream truck to escape. If you get stuck in a jam, the complete move sequence solution is printed on the back of each challenge card--have a quick peek and start again.
Rush Hour Junior has 40 challenge cards with four levels of difficulty: One scoop of ice-cream for Beginners, Two scoops of ice-cream for Intermediates, Hot Fudge Sundae for Advanced level and Banana Split means you're an expert.
Especially designed for kids, Rush Hour Junior provides hours of educational fun which helps with problem solving skills and develops critical thinking skills. This game makes an ideal travel game, as it comes complete with a Game Go bag for easy storage. Rush Hour can be enjoyed by single players or various players competing. Suitable for ages 6 and up.

This was a christmas present for my 5year old - she loves it and so do I. You get a pack of cards giving different setups of the plastic cars, once you've copied the setup on the card the challenge is to get the icecream van out of the exit. I think its very educational as it gets kids thinking in a logical manner and planning ahead. The cards come in 4 different levels of difficulty. Most importantly its lots of fun. Its a game that can be played by one child (or adult), or two people helping each other. If you get really stuck the solutions are printed on the back of each card. The whole things comes in a good quality drawstring bag to keep all the bits in and means it can be easily taken away for the weekend. We have actually lost one car already but it makes no difference as you never need all the cars at the same time so we just substitute a different colour one when we need the orange one. Think I'm going to buy the non-junior version for myself now!

I bought this game for my 5 year old daughter last Christmas without knowing much about it. It was an instant hit with her, her 4yr old brother, her 28yr old uncle, her 35yr old dad, her 57 year old grandmother and everyone else who has played it!
All you have to do is move the cars in such a way as to get the ice cream van out of the traffic jam. It sounds easy, but it gets harder and harder as you work your way through the levels.
The idea is so simple, and the first of 40 puzzles so easy, that you will be instantly hooked. Despite the manufacturers age range for this game being 6-8yrs (Amazon have put it at 4-6yrs which is more accurate) we found that our 4yr old could do the first 20 puzzles, and our 5yr old worked her way through to number 33. Puzzle numbers 35-40 are very challenging and much of Christmas day was spent laughing at my husband and brother trying to outdo each other. This is a game the whole family will enjoy.
It is a very well made sturdy game, unlike the remakes of my childhood favourites such as Game of Life and Guess Who which now seem to be made of the thinnest, flimsiest plastic imaginable. It comes with its own travel bag so no cars get lost, which makes it ideal for taking to grandma's house, or to pub gardens on a summers afternoon.
I would recommend Rush Hour Junior for children aged 4-6, and the more grown up version for children older than that. The company that make this game also make one called Railroad Rush Hour, which is the same premise except with trains.
Buy it! If you're disappointed I'll refund you your money!!!

what a fabulous game! My 6 year old son loves it and its easy/medium/advanced variations make it enough of a challenge for anyone, even adults. My 4 year old son is also interested in it, but just a bit too young to concentrate without getting frustrated. Great quality, a really simple concept and small enough to go anywhere in its good quality travel bag. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to buy a fun, educational game that kids can play unassisted.

Brilliant!
My 5 and 6 year olds love this game and so do us adults. It's very well thought through. Compact and travels well. We can sit for quite a time with our kids trying to fathom moves. Read more

Rush Hour
Although it is an excellent product from an excellent maker, the target seems just a bit too high at the moment for my little grand-son

Superb solitaire game
Great game. My son who is nearly 4 can do most of the challenges with little or no help. Only the later ones prove a bit tricky. Read more

My 5 year old nephew really liked this game, he needed a bit of help but quickly got the hang of the easier cards. The harder ones were difficult enough to make dad struggle! Read more

Excellent challenge for kids with Dysparxia
