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.
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.

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.
