About this board game

Rush Hour Scramble is a competitive multiplayer puzzle game for 2–4 players, with a playing time of about 20 minutes. It transforms the popular solitaire Rush Hour puzzle into a head-to-head race.

Each player designs a Rush Hour challenge for another player to solve. Once the challenges are prepared, players switch boards and begin working on the puzzle in front of them.

The goal is simple: solve your assigned challenge before anyone else solves theirs. The player who finishes first wins, making every decision part of a race against the other players.

  • Players: 2–4
  • Playing time: approximately 20 minutes
  • Core activity: design, exchange, and solve Rush Hour challenges
  • Winner: the first player to solve their challenge

Because players create the challenges themselves, Rush Hour Scramble adds a shared competitive element to the familiar puzzle format. Instead of solving a solitary challenge, everyone prepares a puzzle for someone else and then tackles a challenge created by another player.

A copy of Rush Hour is needed for each player. With its straightforward structure and short playing time, Rush Hour Scramble offers a focused way for a group to compete using the classic Rush Hour puzzle experience.

Released in 2011, Rush Hour Scramble is designed for players who enjoy testing their puzzle-solving speed while competing directly with friends or family. Design your challenge, switch boards, and see who can solve theirs first.
