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.

My girls loved the junior version of this game and now they love the regular version of this game. They play it all the time. They enjoy the challenge and find it fun. I know it is like brain food for their minds, contemplating patterns and strategy to help the car escape.

This game is probably equally good for seniors trying to keep the brain sharp and stave off dementia.

This was a great Christmas gift and was reported to friends and relatives as possibly the favorite of all the Christmas gifts this year. (Of course, to be fair, our children are accustomed to a diet of books, brain games, music, socks, nightgowns and other *boring* things for Christmas.)

Nevertheless, this item is a hit for all kids who come to our house and I highly recommend this game. For entertainment or education!

I was concerned after reading some reviews. I wanted a game for my 8 year old grandson that was not electronic. He's always on someone's phone or his tablet. After hearing the reviews, I wondered if he would be happy. As it turned out, both he and his sister (who is 13) had a lot of fun playing this game. It was challenging for them using the cards that instruct where to play the cars and trucks. My grandson was thrilled when he reached certain levels. No electronics, just plain using his mind. Love it!!!!
