Get ready to master the clever art of bridge design and em-bark on the ultimate bridge-building adventure! After humans left Earth to escape their troubles, the dogs left behind on one Pacific island rose to the challenge. Now it’s up to you to help the fledgling Dog Town explore their archipelago and build ingenious bridges across perilous gaps.

Part comic-style story, part brain-teasing puzzle quest, Bridge or Bust (ages 8 to adult) is a sprawling adventure packed with 61 challenges that range from delightfully simple to deviously complex. Each challenge tasks you with building a bridge long enough to span the gap, tall enough to clear the sailboat, and light enough to stay standing, all while using a fixed set of anchor points.

Once your bridge is ready, wind up the weighted truck, send it across, and...

CRUNCH!

Disaster! The bridge collapsed! But don’t worry, the magic of Bridge or Bust means you can simply lift the bridge, snap the beams back into place in seconds, and get right back to testing your next bold design. And when your bridge holds and the flags go up, it’s off to the next island!

The Bridge or Bust kit includes everything you need to tackle every challenge. It's 30+ hours of play for curious minds, especially fans of video games, problem-solving, and things that go CRUNCH in the name of progress.

Ready to build? Or will it be…a bust?

Bridge or Bust

My 11 and 13 yr old grandsons were excited with the Bridge or Bust Building set. The 11 yr old followed the book directions and built 16 options the first day. Upper Story makes quality products. I have gifted Spintronics and the Turing Marble game and they are all favourites.

Best gift ever !!!

This was the end of the year gift for my 9 years old. It is just amazing !!!! The story behind the 61 challenges is amazing he loves it. My 12 years old is also trilled with this gift ! The boys speak french so i wrote to the company to see if the booklet was available to translate and they sent me the french version that i was able to print so now they can fallow both version. Really the quality is there and it is really well made.

Wow! Such a great building set! My 10yo sun is thrilled!

Bridge or Bust - The Ultimate Bridge-Building Adventure

This is absolutely fantastic. My 8 year old and my 52 year old absolutely love it!

At first glance seems pricey but on receiving I can appreciate the design that went into it. The individual pieces are well designed and lock together easily requiring no force at all. Part of the fun I found was constructing the parts before use and once this preliminary work was carried out I found the process of constructing the structures of the bridges highly addictive with some of the included puzzles devilishly difficult. A lot of fine tuning is sometimes required with the pieces to achieve the correct results and this is easy to do by hand screws. Considering the fragile look of the pieces I found them to be considerably resilient and up to the stresses of the inevitable collapse of your bridge. Nicely presented with each part fitting nicely in its own space within the box. Comes with a lovely comic-style puzzle book with a story for younger builders and information on bridge structures to enjoy. Suitable for most ages although it does contain small parts and can be fiddly.

A feat of engineering

Upper story knocks it out of the park again with Bridge or Bust. This is an amazing physical recreation of PC classics like Pontifex or the more recent Poly Bridge series. I can only imagine the amount of engineering that went into designing each piece of this game. I'm looking forward to working through the challenges, exploring different designs with my children.

This is a great game! Worth the $$

Making The Kids Think

It a lot of fun for the kid to learn how to build.

Great quality. Very fun

I highly recommend this game/puzzle. My son is 12 and he loves it. It comes with a mission book that has a fun story setting as well.

awesome

I recently purchased Bridge or Bust and have been thoroughly enjoying the overall design and experience. Everything about the product is great, with one minor exception regarding the component quality.
During assembly, when I was installing the pieces for the connections, the pressure ended up peeling the paper layer away from the cardboard supports.
I wanted to bring this to your attention for future quality control

Poor materials used.

I find it very hard to understand why the price is so high when cardboard is used for the most important part , the main base. I would not recommend this toy to be purchased, until the cardboard is removed and either wood or plastic is used.

Thank you for your feedback. We certainly expect the quality of or products to match the price. Replacement components were sent and please contact us at hello@upperstory.com if you have any additional concerns.
