What Makes Bridge Constructor Playground Stand Out
The #1 app with millions of players!
"Bridge Constructor Playground is even more fun than the prequel." – Chip.de
"Bridge Constructor Playground convinces by a fresh look and a lot of fun for several hours." – apfelnews.eu
"Bridge Constructor Playground offers players of all ages an introduction to the topic of “bridge building”. This game gives you the freedom to let your creative side run riot – nothing is impossible." – appshopper.com
"This is a very good sequel and satisfies with all the improvements." – apps-news.de
Bridge Constructor Playground offers people of all ages an introduction to the topic of “bridge building”. This game gives you the freedom to let your creative side run riot – nothing is impossible. Across 30 innovative levels you have to build bridges over deep valleys, canals or rivers. Following this your bridges will be subjected to a stress test to see whether they can support the weight of the cars and/or trucks which drive across them.
In comparison to the #1 hit Bridge Constructor, Bridge Constructor Playground offers an even easier entry to the game incl. an extensive tutorial. With no fixed budget, and next to no limitations on building materials, there are almost no limits: you can build and construct to your heart’s desire. Here you are free to do as you please and let the time fly by with creative bridge building. Experienced players will enjoy the challenges of the new badge system: for every bridge there are 5 badges to be won for which you must fulfill certain requirements. For example, building a bridge that can carry no more than a certain load limit. All of this, paired with a bright and friendly look, makes Bridge Constructor Playground an exciting and also educational experience for the whole family, offering hours of gaming fun.
FEATURES:
• New badge system for beginners and pros
• 32 Levels
• 5 Settings: City, Canyon, Beach, Mountains, Rolling hills
• Survey map with unlocked worlds / levels
• Extensive tutorial for easy entry to the game
• 4 different building materials: wood, steel, steel cable, concrete piles

• Two different stress levels: car and truck
• High score per Level

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Its a very fun game and its educational we absolutely love it.
Our daughters LOVE LOVE LOVE this game.
Better than the $1 version as we can build cool looking bridges that pass the stress test and spend as much as it takes to do it. In the paid version you are budget restricted. Nuff said. We agree. Love it.
This game is a lot of fun and it is realistic.
While it's not that same as real planning, drawing and building real bridges, it's fun to think like an engineer who does! Addictive and fun problem solving. ;).
Too much fun. When we are using this app we feel like we are contributing to society, rather than just diverting our mind.
It's super addicting. Developer please add more.
This game is fun, but when Im on Northern Reef its hard. We did all the bridges, but when we finish Northern Reef it said for us too get all the medals, so we couldnt go onto the next one. On the bright side, its really fun! We would give it five stars if there was no problem. We SPENT FOUR BUCKS ON THIS GAME AND BRIDGE Constructor! Make it cheaper! Just please make the one change. Thank you.
Crashes after beating like level 4 on the tutorial island. 99 gone we guess.
The game crashes as soon as the trucks get over the bridge. You lose all your progress too. Super annoying and we paid for this.
This game is not worth buying. It was fun, but it was basically some of the same levels over and over again. The amount of levels were also disappointing. We finished the game after only a couple of days. We only spent about an hour of total time. If it was a free game, it would be worth getting it, but with this price tag, you will be disappointed.
Super fun time America number 1.
Love this game! It's our favorite time killer. Wish they would keep expanding it more. The seasonal extras are not enough.
We really feel it challenging our mind. We like it.
Entretenido. Pero dificil cumplir los requerimientos de construccion.
Mentally engaging and stimulating, we love how the weight/stress gets visually indicated. Great game for thinkers and non-dummies.
Game progress doesn't carryover from the free version of the game when you purchase the full version. How dumb is that? Looking into filing a refund complaint.
Excellent game for the engineer in all of us. Only wish there were more levels.
Great game! Always challenging, and unique.
We highly recommend this game! Thoughtful entertainment. Seems good for ages 5 +.
We like to think grandma is on her way to give us gifts. We like grandma, so we construct a bridge. But some days we don't, she gives us clothes. So we let her drown in the water.
Need more bridges to build, hurry up with a sequal!!!! Love this game.
Offline fun that makes you think.
The game is fun and challenging with lots of content.
Bridge constructor playground stole quite a few hours from us! We were sucked in to the "just one more" play style. You can complete each level with various materials and it really stretches the old brain muscles! Highly recommended.
This is a very fun game. Very addictive and constructive.
Fun! Ranges from easy to some extremely challenging ones! But it's also fun to just blow the budget and free build. Our Pa says this would have been an endlessly helpful tool in his old engineering courses- and it's amazing it's just a casual little game today.
Makes you think and teaches engineering at same time.
Wish it had a "school" to educate you on the materials.
Great game, could be better with more mission updates.
At least a little bit of thinking is involved. Very nice game.
Terrific game. Plenty of variety with different bridge styles required to meet each challenge in different ways (under budget, safety margin, limited materials etc.). Very, very good game indeed.
Hours of great fun trying to get all 5 awards per bridge, we love it.
Their is a beauty in finding the simplest solution. We love all these bridge games. More please.
This game allows us to build bridges in a game rather than in real life. Our only regret is that we wish our job worked like this.
The game is pretty simple for our standards and fun to play we find our self building skyscrapers on the bridges often,we feel there should be a building or skyscraper design game.one thing that would be cool to see in the future is mechanized functions like gates and drawbridges. We wish a boat or something could pass under the bridges.
Good game, best part you don't have to buy anything to build. Would like to have more options on what you can use.
It is a really good game. It's a game that's really fun and really addicting.
This game is a blast, just when you think it is not possible you figure out how to make it work.
Fun game. Can't stop playing it.
We love puzzle games and this is one of the best. We spent the 2 bucks for the full version. Worth it. If you get really stumped, move on to the next and come back later. You can also google the answers. Do a sequel.
Perfect blend of educational and fun.
Quite simply this is the most important game you could ever play. Not only will bridge constructor playground bring you countless hours of fun, it will also educate you on real world physics, build confidence, alleviate painful boredom, bring you emotional stability, add thousands to your weekly income, and usher in a new age of world peace.
We think that this is a very fun game to play, but we love it for other reasons as well. Let us start from the beginning. We work in an office building in downtown Houston, and like many of you, we love to sit in the bathroom stall and play on our phone. Here is the problem, we are certain they have lined the bathroom walls of our building with lead or some other signal/wifi blocking material. They did this because they know very well that our coworkers and we would much rather sit on the pot and browse Facebook, look up our next vacation, or play games than be sitting at our desks. We love bridge constructor for the fact that we do not need a signal to play it (unlike most good games these days). Before we discovered bridge constructor we had resorted to playing flappy bird during our hiatus' on the porcelain throne. It was only going to be a matter of time before we smashed our phone off of the bathroom wall from the fury that game creates in us…but let's not start into that. Bridge constructor gave us the ability to have fun again while we hide from our job on the pot, like god intended. It is way more fun to sit there and pretend to be an engineer in this game than it is to go out to our desk and be a real one. Now if only trial and error worked so well in our real job.
Better than the original overall, but we wish we could use the tanker truck also like the original. The sandbox mode is perfect for that since the tanker is very hard in the original.
Satisfying difficulty level. Great fun.
Very well done. We think this is the model every builder game should follow. Sand-box aspect allows you to be experimental. Challenges help you learn different things about building bridges.
We have been trying multiple games lately without finding a truly entertaining game that doesn't try the in app purchase crap. We have found this game challenging but loads of fun.
For $2, been playing maybe 20hrs! Really good.
Much better! And still just as challenging.
