BRIDGE OR BUST

Build bold. Test your designs. Save Dog Town.

Bridge or Bust is a hands-on bridge-building game for kids ages 8 and up, teens, adults, families, classrooms, and curious problem-solvers. Combining a comic-style adventure with challenging construction puzzles, this tabletop game delivers 61 bridge-building challenges and more than 30 hours of screen-free play.

After humans leave Earth, the dogs of a remote Pacific island must explore their newly discovered archipelago. Your mission is to help the fledgling Dog Town cross dangerous gaps, connect the islands, and design bridges strong enough to survive the journey.

Each challenge asks you to build a bridge that is:

• Long enough to span the gap
• Tall enough to let the sailboat pass underneath
• Light enough to remain standing
• Built using a fixed set of anchor points and components

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

CRUNCH!

If the bridge collapses, simply lift it, snap the beams back into place, and test a new design in seconds. When your bridge holds and the flags go up, Dog Town is ready to move on to the next island.

Bridge or Bust makes engineering exciting through hands-on experimentation, playful storytelling, and satisfying cause-and-effect action. It’s an ideal gift for kids who enjoy video games, puzzles, building toys, science, engineering, and anything that goes CRUNCH in the name of progress.
