Help the dino cross! but only if you pack the bridge pieces skillfully enough! This game not only requires logic and spatial thinking, but also offers the joy of experimentation. Build, check, repair – and start again if the bridge is longer than it should be!
Type: digital logic and construction toy
Target group: elementary school, junior high school, family
Recommended age group: 6+
Playing time: 5–10 minutes / court
Operating logic
The goal of the game is for the player to build a bridge of exactly the same length as the given bridge pieces, which will span the gap. It cannot be longer or shorter, otherwise the dino will not start.
On the left side of the playing field are bridge pieces of different lengths (e.g. 2, 3 or 4 units long). These must be dragged and dropped into the correct position on the grid bridge field. The length of each field is also clearly visible.
The system visually signals when a piece has been placed in the correct place: the piece “snaps into place” and a new part of the bridge is built. If it is dropped in the wrong place, it is returned to the tray. The goal is to fit the bridge pieces exactly so that the total bridge length is equal to the target value (e.g. 8 spaces).
If the bridge is too short or long, an error message appears and we can adjust the pieces. If the bridge is perfect, the dino starts running across it – and we win!
What does the Bridge Building game develop?
This game develops a number of key skills – especially in the following areas:
- Measurement and number concept : The relationship between the length of the bridge pieces and the overall size of the bridge strengthens the sense of quantity.
- Logical thinking : Finding the right combinations is done through logical trial and error and feedback.
- Spatial perception : Fitting the bridge pieces together helps develop visual-spatial skills.
- Fine motor skills : Accurate pulling and placement requires coordination.
- Problem Solving and Perseverance : Trying and retrying are part of the gameplay, which develops flexibility and strategy.
Is the game free?
Yes, the bridge building game is free to play with multiple levels and different bridge types. Premium versions include newer shapes, more difficult combinations, and increasingly complex levels.
