How to play
- Find the red car. The red car is the one you must free; it slides horizontally and leaves through the gap on the right edge.
- Slide the blockers. Drag any car or truck along its own lane - horizontal pieces move left and right, vertical pieces move up and down - to clear the row in front of the red car.
- Drive it out. Once the lane is clear, slide the red car right and off the board to solve the level and move on to the next.
About Rush Hour
Rush Hour is the classic sliding-traffic puzzle. A small grid is jammed with cars and trucks, and one of them is red - that is yours, and it has to reach the exit on the right edge. The snag is that every vehicle can only slide along its own lane: cars and trucks that sit across your row block the way, and the pieces in front of them block those in turn. So you work backwards, nudging blockers up, down, left or right until a clear path opens and the red car can drive straight out. Each board is hand-made and solvable. No signup, no download.
Frequently asked questions
Drag a car or truck to slide it along its own lane. Each piece only moves in a straight line - horizontal pieces left and right, vertical pieces up and down - so you shuffle the blockers out of the way until the red car has a clear path to the exit on the right.
You win a level when the red car reaches the right edge and slides off through the gap. The blockers in its row, and whatever is blocking those, all have to move first.
A vehicle can only travel along its own lane and cannot pass through another piece or off the board. If it will not budge, something is in the way - move that piece first. Pieces never rotate.
There are several hand-made, solvable levels that get harder as you go, and clearing one advances you to the next. The difficulty setting picks where you start - Easy from the first level, Normal and Hard further in.
