HOW TO PLAY:

Your goal is to get the Red Car out the Exit Gate. To accomplish, just move the blocking Cars and Trucks out of the way.

At ThinkFun, we believe in efficient driving. So for each challenge, we track your moves against the minimum distance possible, and score you on how close you came to a perfect distance score. Each challenge becomes a quest in itself!

For your moments of frustration, we’ve included a HINT button. If you need a big boost, we also provide a SOLVE button. We recommend you fight your way through and never use these, but they’re nice to have available.

Refreshing
BlueLemmonade

A coworker brought the physical game in and everyone can’t stop playing it including me. So I found this app and it is perfect. Same game, but more puzzles and the ability to reset it fast and easy! It feels refreshing to do these puzzles and really satisfying to complete.


Great tool for learning!

I use this with app (and the 3D game version) with my special education students. I can use it to teach varied skills. It is motivating for them and since it has varied levels of difficulty it fits different needs. Thank you very much for this tool.


Long-time Favorite

I was so pleased to see this game back in the App Store. I love the actual analog game and play it often, but love having it on my phone and iPad, too. Endless fun and challenge.


Such an awesome, fun little game!
List Mom

I am not a person who plays a lot of games, maybe I'll play a puzzle-type game like this once or twice a week, but once I downloaded this one I have pulled it out daily. It's such a beautifully designed game which makes it nice to play. It's easy to hard depending on the level you set for yourself - and there are a ton of different puzzles in each level to keep this going on a very long time. I love to play this game while waiting in line, sitting on hold or just taking a moment for myself to relax a bit. I bought the full version and my daughter and I have been playing it every day!


Fun and a confidence builder

By playing this game I believe I have improved my spatial aptitude which has always been my weakest skill. So in addition to being fun it is helping me to improve a skill

Just like the board game only better as it's easier to start over. Hours of fun for you and your kids.


1 major complaint
cooperd21

I would happily give this app 5 stars if not for 1 huge annoyance. I can't listen to music when I play. As soon as the app starts it shuts music down and unlike other apps that do the same, you can't make it turn on after the app is running. I know this seems minor but it really does keep me from playing more. Even more than the blue screen that comes when I go to the select challenge screen and try to play a different puzzle. Fix this please.


More fun than the real game

Lots of fun and surprisingly challenging ! More fun than the 3-D game - and there are more challenges. Way to go!
