App of the Week | Rush Hour {+ Chocolate Fix}

Do you love the game Rush Hour? I know I do and my students do too! I like Rush Hour for developing a variety of skills, including planning, problem solving, visual motor, and visual perception.

Did you know that there is a Rush Hour app? It's essentially the same as the physical game, using a finger swipe to move the cars. Check it out:

The goal is to get the red car out of the little gate on the right side. The free version of the Rush Hour app contains 35 challenges, ranging from Beginner to Expert. The full version ($2.99) contains 2500 challenges. With the variety of levels, this app is great for all ages (including parents!).

Since I love ThinkFun products so much (my honest opinion, they don't pay me to say that!), I did a quick search to see if they have any other apps. Turns out they have an app called Chocolate Fix, which is also based on a board game of the same name. It's cute and requires Sudoku-like reasoning skills. And just like Rush Hour, there is a free version available!

Chocolate Fix is also great for developing problem solving, planning, visual motor, and visual perception skills. The free version of Chocolate Fix contains 30 challenges ranging from Easy to Expert and the paid version ($2.99) contains 400 challenges. This is another app that is great for all ages.
