ThinkFun - Obstacle Hero

Obstacle Hero is the ultimate tabletop logic adventure where players become the hero of their own puzzle-solving story! With 40 obstacle course challenges ranging from beginner to expert, players will leap, dodge, slide, and plan their way through every twist and turn on the board. But be careful-one wrong move could leave your hero stranded or stuck behind an obstacle!

With five uniquely designed obstacles and a shifting game board, no two challenges are ever quite the same. Each level pushes players to think several steps ahead, developing the kind of spatial reasoning and forward-planning skills that benefit learning across the curriculum.

Whether used in a classroom thinking station or as an enrichment activity for logic and problem-solving, Obstacle Hero offers hours of screen-free, hands-on thinking fun. Great for independent play, STEM workshops, or paired strategic challenges.
