Parking STEM Puzzle

Excellent logic game. I purchased it for my 7 year old thinking there was a good chance it would be too hard for him, but he's really gotten into it. It's a challenge for him, but he can solve each puzzle quickly enough so that he doesn't get frustrated. And he LOVES solving new levels. My 4 year old is also able to play this game. It's obviously harder for her, but this is a great game that really can be used by people of all ages. It's been wonderful to see how much progress the kids made...it took a long time for them to solve the first puzzles, but they have clearly learned skills that allow them to figure out harder levels faster. I often pick this up and play with it myself. There's something really relaxing about sliding those little cars around and finally getting the little red one free.

I gave two of these games as Christmas gifts, one to my sister in law who years ago gave me an early version of the game. She thought I would have fun playing it with her little grandson who was probably about five or six at the time. Actually, all of the children in the family played the game through the years and all were fascinated with the different patterns to the puzzle. I think that the boys had better spatial concepts and so were better at solving the games than the girls were. It is an addictive game that can be enjoyed by all ages...even four-year-olds are not too young for it, and eighty-year-olds are not too old. I still have the original version on my shelf.

I would highly recommend it as a gift for children and elderly people. It's truly fun and challenging. The goal of the game is to get the red car out of the traffic jam. You achieve this goal by moving the trucks and cars that are blocking the red car's path.

With that said, the game comes with four sets of card difficulties (Easy, Intermediate, Advance, and Expert). If you can't solve the puzzle the answers on how to solve it is on the back of the cards. The game pieces and board are made out of solid plastic yet they're light and durable. Best of all, it comes with a mesh pouch to prevent you from loosing your game pieces.

Simply, it's a great classic board game and makes a good gift for any age.
