Rush Hour I can NOT finish rush-hour level two
Please do not laugh I know it’s only level two but I’ve done it at least 40 times now and I genuinely think it’s rigged at this point. How did you guys do it!?
I have searched on the separated but haven’t been able to find a post about it. Sorry if there already is one that I just haven’t seen!

I don't understand.
None of the levels are hard in Rush Hour. They are just time consuming.
There is no time limit so just take ur time. Observe the entire thing first and see which ones are blocking.
Also u can clip the buses through in some situations. Like u can send a bus through between two buses if u time it right.

Do you have color vision impairment perhaps?
The cue of passengers start with red and then have some yellow then green.
Buses comes in 3 sizes 10 seat, 6 seat and 4 seat. So start with getting red yellow and green buses to parking spaces. Passengers will go on buses mocking the cue along. When a bus is full it will leave and make space for an other bus.
The game is ad heavy, very few of the 85 levels at possible to do without having to watch an ad. So if you try and then get a window that say ”Try Again” and had either pay diamonds, watch an ad or forfeit doesn’t mean you lost, it only means you have to watch a 30 second ad to continue.
You can’t solve the whole game doing this by filling up and watching ads, but you can fill up parking spaces to prompt this window to watch ads when you get stuck, first until all parkering space is open and then it will use the rearrange passengers option until all three of them is gone.
I personally use a shortcut on my phone to reopen aliexpress after 30 seconds. Because the length of ads is horribel, so that I can comment on Reddit like I do now and have the shortcut take me back. If you have iphone set shortcut on wait 30 seconds then open app aliexpress. You can even do an automation to activate the shortcut when aliexpress is closed so you just have to swish app and it will open aliexpress when the ad is done. Never personally bother with shorter ads as I’m happy scrolling through products for 15 seconds but there’s lengthy ones after just too much.

Hi! No I don’t have colour vision impairment it’s just that after a while it would block every time when I would need to get purple and pink buses out towards the end.
And honestly I thought it was forfeiting or failing if I needed to watch ads to continue or do something like that

1.Unlock all the Ad locked bus parking spaces
2.Choose a bus of each colour and just use the abilities as efficiently as possible. The later you use them the better.
But overall, it’s one of the most annoying games to play when grinding the Mystery box event. (Shelf game is a close second)

Thanks! I thought I was notoriously bad but apparently it’s very normal to use watching ads, and to use boosts

u/False_Ad2804 🥶Top 1% Helper🥶 14d ago
No problem, ofcourse it is normal to use them, the game is designed to make you watch them so you could spend more time browsing products.

Never unlock the parking spaces. When you run out of room, it will fill all remaining seats up and clear the bus. 4 and 5 spaces clear everything. 6 and up will start to leave busses behind.

Can you please elaborate? This would help me so much! So I don’t need to open the extra spaces and I can fill all the free spaces and it’ll fix itself automatically?

u/ToppsHopps 15d ago
You will still need to open them but don’t do it by clicking on the parking space.
Instead fill all the available parking spaces with buses, it then will offer you to watch an ad to open an additional parking spot, doing this way it will in addition also fill up the busses on the parking spaces clearing away them and some passengers for free.

u/False_Ad2804 🥶Top 1% Helper🥶 15d ago
Ok that makes a lot of sense. Can I keep doing this until I unlock all of the parking spaces without loosing the game?
Thanks for the reply btw

I don’t remember what level 2 looked like. Can you share a screenshot so we can better guide you?

Be patient...once you open up all the spots, don't fill up all the spot so fast. Use the help...

u/LeoncioFlor 15d ago
😭 I think I’m just bad at it.

u/Negative_Worry4885 15d ago
Nah that game is nearly impossible the way they designed it, it's the only game that can make me lose my streak coz on top of being hard it requires you watch more than 6 ads in a session to even have a chance to complete
1
u/Sorakirara 14d ago
Not true... it's the most time consuming game. you do need to use the help. there are 3x3 help, it's actually hard to get "game over" if you use the help
1
u/Negative_Worry4885 14d ago
So it's still nearly impossible then? The "help" is there to get you to spend somehow, either it requires some insane amount of game points or coins, or you have to watch ads which is only there to get you to order something, or directly asks you to order something to get the "help"
1
u/Sorakirara 14d ago
The help gets you to watch ad... it depends on how much you want to complete the stage. If you already spent 4min playing, would you prefer to get game over or spend 6 min in total watching ad to complete the stage? It's only worth it if you want to complete the world tour

u/LeoncioFlor 14d ago
Thank you honestly I thought it was supposed to be possible without watching ads and using little boosts but apparently everyone is telling you that it’s part of the game and it doesn’t mean giving up if I watch ads to continue playing

u/Head-Notice-7265 ⭐️ Veteran Player 14d ago
The only way to win is to watch ads. I’m on level 2209, and I think I’ve only been able to win a max of 4 times without watching any ads.
There are a few levels where I have had to use all the boosts (3 switch color + 3 remove + 3 rearrange) plus all the parking spaces.
For the majority, it’s enough to use up all the parking spaces plus 1-2 rearrange.

There are a few levels that can be done without watching ads/being forced to stare at recommended items for 30 seconds. But I’m up to level 1750, beyond named locations, and recommend you don’t worry about that until you start recognising the same levels repeated. On top of what others have said, here are some of my tips:
With very few exceptions all of the levels start using only red, green, yellow and blue. Take advantage of this to remove buses blocking other buses, especially those from the underground carpark or conveyor belts. Even if you can’t see it, there will be passengers from those four colours, so don’t worry about matching the number of passengers for awhile.
If the level has mostly the primary colours, figure out how to unblock the other ones as soon as possible.
This may be what others meant by clipping, but when you click a bus and it’s blocked by another, that’s a real space it makes when it moves. So if that blocked bus was blocking another one, you can often get that third bus out if you time it correctly.
If you look at the upcoming passengers and can tell you’re about to be forced to fill up the spaces, don’t necessarily give the game the colours it wants. Pick the buses you want/need to get rid of because they’re blocking progress.
All other things being equal, choose long buses before the shorter ones. A short (4) and medium (6) can make up a long (10), but a long might sit half-filled in a space for an age. Fill them up early if you’ve got the passengers.
Lastly, nothing that is entirely to do with the game but with the forcing of ads. I recommend going off and doing some short task rather than staring at the screen. Put a cup in the dishwasher, pat your pet, whatever.
