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?

Extreme deception et frustration

It’s poor quality. The bearing materials are in thin cardboard. Resulting in very easy to be torn. While the upper structures are all in solid plastic. Consequently, it’s become unsuable after a couple of hours only. Really frustrated. I just threw it away

Thank you for the feedback and we are sorry to hear about the issues with components. We do warranty all our parts and you can contact us for replacements at hello@upperstory.com.

Cadeau de Noël.pas ouvert encore

Bridge or Bust

We bought this for our grandson for his birthday and he loved it! A very impressive adventure toy.

Niiiice scam...

The pieces break during assembly. When I went to buy replacement parts, the game was half price without any special offers.

We are sorry to hear about your experience. Please reach out to our customer service team so we can assist with the broken pieces. We do not hold sales for pricing transparency and our costs are always the same.

Amazing quality overall, far exceeding expectations. The only thing I can pitch if i had to choose something would be to consider swapping out the cardboard towers with plastic components, as a couple of the nodes that clip onto the cardboard easily sheared a layer of the cardboard off the edges where they connect, and I was careful with these. Beyond that though, genuinely amazing game. Bought this for myself as an adult with ASD who's been deeply interested in bridge design for years. And the magnets to reverse a collapse are an amazing feature as well. Honestly up there for my best purchases of $200+. Even made some extra sandbox mega-projects 😅

Great edu-game!

It is a great puzzle game. The first setup takes some time. All pieces need to be connected so you can later just grab the beams and bridgeparts.

The puzzles themselves are nice. I have done 10 or so. The difficulty level increases in a nice way. I find that with the puzzles, if the puzzle looks great it intuitively is the right direction
Then comes the fine adjustment and that makes a world of difference in the strength of the bridge.

It is a great game, very well made and hours of fun!

13 year old loves it.

My 13 year old loves it. Great challenges.

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.

Niezwykła zabawka edukacyjna! Umożliwia zrozumienie podstaw budowy konstrukcji, występowanie naprężeń rozciągających o ściskających elementy. Bardzo precyzyjne części. Fajna instrukcja.

Bridge or Bust

Macht mir auch mit fast 70 Jahren noch Spass.

This is amazing for fun and learning!

I’m playing this with my adult son
We are loving it and somewhat awed with the components and scope of this series of hands on puzzles. It’s so tactile, and full of experimentation, and a great bonding and teamwork experience. The box is big, but everything fits so well back in the box that’s it’s easy to get started and put away. This is more fun to work on than I could have imagined.

Love the idea

The puzzles and concept is great. I find the connection system pretty bad and very frustrating

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you love the idea and find the puzzles enjoyable. Sorry to hear about the connection system. Please contact us at hello@upperstory.com and we would be happy to help.
