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?

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.
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.
Wow! Such a great building set! My 10yo sun is thrilled!
Great idea for a toy, but the assembly—especially the cardboard parts—is a complete joke. While putting it together, the cardboard elements (almost all of them) started delaminating. The build quality is 1/5. For this price, the quality is absolutely TERRIBLE.
Thank you for the review and we are sorry to hear about your experience with the cardboard components. We sent replacement components and please contact us at hello@upperstory.com if you have any concerns.
A few weeks ago i got the Turing tumble for myself and my daughter to bond over and we are obsessed with it. So of course we wanted see what else Upper story has. Bridge or Bust was top of my daughters list. Well well it is another knockout. I can't believe the engineering that has gone into this product. It is phenomenal. In a world where everything is now digital its so refreshing have a physical product. It is suppose to be for 8+ and my daughter is only near 6 but she loves it on many level. The story of the dogs is right in her wheel house and the challenges are endless that will keep us playing with is for months / years. Thank you for creating this product. Can't wait to see what you do next.
This is a great idea and my son loves it, but the quality of some of the pieces isn't great. A lot of the plastic clips just snap and then can't be used. I'm not sure how long it will last, which is a bit disappointing given the cost.
Thank you for the review. We will send some replacement clips straight away. Please contact us at hello@upperstory.com if you have any concerns.
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.
