Toys and Games Reviews of ThinkFun Rush Hour Jr.
Customer Review: Excellent "intelligent" game for all ages !!
Summary: 5 Stars
Games has a simple objective -- get the Red car out of traffice. And boy! it is difficult and changelling at higher level. Set up the *cars* as described in cards and figure out a way to get the Red Car out.The best thing is complexity raange from very easy to very hard. So it captures kids interests and provides the extra incentive to move to the next level !!
Simple rules -- once you have placed the cars on the Grid, you can only move them forward or backward.
A great addition to this game is "Rush Hour 2, 3 and 4 Gift Pack" for less than $12/-. Each set has 40 cards or in total 120 different combinations are possible. The highest level is really really difficult. Meant for the "Pros" only !!!
Customer Review: Great whole family fun!

After reading about Rush Hour, Jr. on this website, I decided to get it for my sons, age 7 and 4. They are both a year older now, and still enjoy it. My oldest is now ready for the "adult" version but the more difficult puzzles of the Jr. game still provide some challenge. An unexpected benefit from this "game" is that my sons love to watch each other play and offer encouragement and sometimes advice, and neither gets discouraged when he gets stuck--how great is it to see that? It also travels really well, we take it in the car for our frequent long trips and take it on the boat to play during snack time.
Parents--I definitely recommend both Rush Hour versions and the booster cards.
Customer Review: A great "think it through on your own" toy
Summary: 4 Stars
For children who likes puzzles and mazes, this is a great find. To get the ice cream truck out of the traffic jam, the child must think on more than one level and more than one move ahead. Any wrong moves can be easily reversed and there is no penalty for wrong moves, only the thrill of solving the puzzle. Its great for solo play or for two to work together. The travel bag makes it a terrific "take along" toy -- as long as you have a flat surface on which to set up the board. My son is five years old and takes great pride in solving the simplest level puzzles. With a total of four levels of difficulty, I think we will be playing this game for some time to come.Customer Review: A fun new way to play
Summary: 5 Stars
My family is very competitive, so we made it a two player game using both the Rush Hour Jr. and the original Rush Hour game. We set both game boards with the same puzzle card then shout on your marks get set go! The first to solve it wins that round. You can use any number of rounds to determine the winner.
The greatest thing for me was to watch my 4 year old solve an Expert card in about 2 minutes while it took his dad about 6 minutes! My only complaint is there should be more cards per game. My four year old got these for his birthday and in a few days has finished the entire Jr. version and is already half way through the original Rush hour game.
Customer Review: Family fun
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this game for my child's 6th birthday. He had played a similar game at a brain games website we visit often, so he was familiar with the mechanics. He loves playing and likes the challenge of starting with easy cards and hiking up to intermediate, and even advanced. At first he needed help placing the vehicles in the grid, but not any more. He also knows there's the solution on the back of each card, but he hasn't figured out how to interpret the code, which is good, because that way he doesn't give up right away. I also like the cloth bag to store it in, as it allows you to take it along and play whenever you feel like it.
