What Makes Zamboni Challenge Stand Out
Ever wish you could drive the Zamboni® ice resurfacer?
Drive carefully to clean the ice as efficiently as possible. Get as close to the boards as you can without hitting them. Don't leave patches of scratched ice or create puddles by driving over the same areas too many times.
Start out on an early morning practice rink and work your way up through 5 arenas of increasing difficulty. The final challenge is cleaning the ice between periods of a professional hockey game with another Zamboni machine running in tandem.
Optionally shares your accomplishments with Facebook, Twitter, email, or instant messaging.
Universal App – supports iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad, including standard, Retina, and iPhone X displays. Even runs on Apple Mac or MacBooks equipped with Apple’s new M1 Silicon chip with easy to use mouse and on screen controls.

Community Insight:
Never buy this game because you dont even do anything. SAVE YOUR MONEY.
Bought this game a long time ago and decided to reinstall it and we have an iPhone 8+ so now we cant play it and this was our favorite game you guys should really make it to all phones again.
We wish we could like this app. It's a simple but great idea. BUT It freezes going around corners. It leaves parts of the ice unclean after you go over with it. It doesn't always clean close to the boards. Such potential. But horrible, annoying glitches.
We've driven a ice resurfacer so we know the correct way to clean the ice solo and with a partner and the game penalizes you for doing it correctly not worth $2.99.
Love this game. Would love an update with board brush, and be able to drive off of the Ice and dump the snow that's in it. Also maybe achievements.
Good game exept you should be timed for the time in between periods and how bout exact colors instead of sliding a bar over more levels please there should be a score on the scoreboard and a mood for how long the players have to skate the corners are a little sharp and the zamboni should have sponsors.
You need to add a selectable board brush and thumb comtrool steering. We have had this app for over a year and a half. It's time margin and associates.
This game is absolutely awful. The graphics are from 1999 and the game is just straight up boring. Though we did just get this for our brother, we would never play this game. This is not worth $2 and should never be worth $2. We highly say you should not get this game. Would give this 0 stars if we could.
Either it doesnt work on ios8 or we cant figure out how to play this game.
The game is mediocre at best and gets boring quick – but the big concern is it requires to you to login and stay logged in with your apple id. Don't bother.
We have driven both Zamboni ice resurfacers and Olympia ice resurfacers and this is close to the real thing. Add in the extras for board brush, ice break, water control, etc and you will have the full package. Only real "ice resurfacers" use the manual settings because we like the control. We would try to make the corners a little more realistic as the sharp 90 degree turns are a little too tight, especially for the Zamboni. High kudos to The Zambonis band for providing the music, just why "Beast of New Haven" for the title song and not the obvious, "Drive the Zamboni".
Controls really need some work. Gyro steering is jumpy and difficult to control. Should be much smoother. Would prefer thumb wheel steering and thumb control acceleration.
This game is really fun. Props to whoever thought of the idea.
We picked up Zamboni Challenge from the App store and it is a lot of fun! We recommend everyone who has an iPhone IPad or iTouch to go ahead and buy it.
Where is the board brush?! We can't find that last .2% need the wash water too lol great game though.
It was an okay game. The controls with the gyro made it more annoying than fun. We would prefer an option with a D-pad and control with our thumb. Not a game to play while driving in the mountains it is to touchy. We were all over the.
