Magnetic Bumper Cars

Magnetic Bumper Cars - Let's take a ride

Unlike real bumper cars, the goal of Magnetic Bumper Cars is to line up the nine cars so that they don't bump into each other or the side of the track. The trick is that some of the cars will attract each other and some will repel, reducing your options. Cars can attract from the front, back or sides. This game will require logic, problem solving, and spatial reasoning.

The game includes four cars driven by boys, four driven by girls, and one empty car. The puzzle book comes with 12 puzzles and three challenge levels, all requiring the player to think spatially. Each puzzle starts you out with anywhere from two to four cars on the track.

• Challenge 1 - When solved, all boy cars will point in one direction and all girl cars will point in another direction.
• Challenge 2 - When solved, two boy cars will point in one direction and two boy cars will point in another direction. Two girls cars will point in one direction and two girl cars will point in another direction.
• Challenge 3 - Each boy car will point in a different direction (north, south, east, west) and each girl car will point in a different direction (north, south, east, west)

 Tip for putting the cars back into the plastic form to put away (if you didn't solve it): Turn the plastic form upside down and put the cars in that way. They are less likely to attach to each other. Don't ask me how I know... Ugh.
