Rush Hour Is a Powerful Teaching Tool
The next generation of ThinkFun Brain Lab focuses specifically on Rush Hour Minimum Spaces. This game directs players to not only get the red car out, but also to do it in the fewest number of spaces. Try some practice challenges!

In Minimum Spaces, important problem solving principles are revealed when players start off in one direction only to reach a roadblock. At this point they must reevaluate, make a new strategic plan, and try again... a true problem solving process in action!

To help players make more effective plans when attacking a challenge, we have identified several key play patterns and created sets of practice puzzles to build players' skills. Please play through a Practice Set and see if you pick up on a common feature or pattern. How would you describe the specific strategy? What title would you give this set? We'd love to hear from you! Please email Charlotte Fixler with your comments.

Don't Miss out! Game Club Sets are still available at an incredible 60% off while supplies last.
