Bridge Constructor Playground! is a Simulation/Puzzle game from Headup GmbH, first launched in 20th December 2012.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 672+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Bridge Constructor Playground! Stand Out
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.

Community Insight:
Ok lets set it straight. We love building games they are fun to us. But when we are playing any level past 6 if we use trucks it crashes. But any level before level 6 works and doesnt crash. Please fix.
We played in the playground for many weeks, and liked it enough to buy the full version. We were disappointed. Stick with the playground, where youre not locked out of over-spending the budget, and where you can be as elegant or creative as you wish. You just go back and improve to get to that final island.
This is awesome Im about to try it out.
Challenging game. Design and test your creation to fit budget restraints or material used. Each site has five different design goals to challenge your problem solving skills.
COOL IT MAY MAKE THE BRIDGE FALL.
The ability to see the strain percentage live while vehicles are going is phenomenal. Also color coded points of failure works really well. Fun game.
Nothing like taking your mind off the worries of the day! Have fun.
Im a kid and we love games, especially building games so for us this is one of our favorite games.
Super fun, non stressful. Great mind game.
The game is very good we love it but the only problem is the full version because our mom and dad hate in at purchases no matter how expensive it is so really we think you could make the game expensive but then you could still get money and would you mind may be making him do it do you want one free and with no in- app purchases…GREAT GAME.
Love the game think the physics is relatively realistic. Great job developers.
Was instantaneous to learn but expands quickly to give room for serious design. Love that you can redo successful ones to push different limits.
Its the best game in the world we love it and it is very kid friendly thats all we can say.
For one who has been out of statics class for several years, this has been a great refresher as well as an enjoyable challenge. We particularly find the capacity percentage feature helpful to remind ourselves which members are taking the most stress.
Ive been looking for a decent bridge game for a while, and there havent been any good ones in the App Store until this came out. Even if your not necessarily looking for a bridge game this is a great one to play! It offers different badges to achieve for each bridge which means you can spend between two minuets or two hours fine toning your bridge to get the perfect design. The price is great, and if you cant afford to pay theres 10 free levels, we definitely recommend trying it out.
It is a perfect game. Thanks so much.
It was so fun and addicting you need this game don't listen to the others.
No bugs. New Update. Full Version. Just Great. Really happy that there is a new update. Great Game but they should add more vehicles.
We hope they make the full version free.
We just discovered this whole series, and we enjoy the concept to counter some of the other reviews here, Id like to point out that this is a puzzle game, so solving the levels with limited resources is intended to be difficult. This free version of the game only has 10 levels. Even if you get all the badges, you have to pay for the upgrade to proceed past level 10.
Have not finished yet but so far so good.
Only goes limited short time then have to pay. We are willing to live with ads.
We were having fun in the tutorial when all the sudden we finished the bridge on the next Island it was not a sandbox so pleas change we played this game before played a bunch of bridge games so please make it a Sandbox Byyyyeee.
Not a bad concept-looks like it could be fun & interesting, but only 10 levels for free & adds make it tough to give more than 3 stars- Don't think it's enough fun to lure people into buying the full version- on to try to find another one.
Better then some of the other games out there. Missing materials that would be awesome.
Ive beaten every level but now only way to proceed is to pay. Disappointing. This app is dead to us now. Uninstalled.
Nothing works in any of their games now.
Its fun, for the first 4 levels. And then it wont let you proceed unless you pay for the full version. Deleting now. Id recommend maybe less features for a free version, we all know you make tons of money on the ads in your game.
Apparently they updated it so you can unlock the whole thing without paying about 5mins after we uninstalled it. Too late, we are not reinstalling. The ads are overdone, too resource-demanding, repeatedly locked up our iPad Mini 2. Sorry folks, thats inexcusably poor and inefficient programming. This device still has plenty of power for similar apps. The user interface is glitchy. Trying to position the components precisely is a challenge, small movements of your finger result in large jumps of the endpoint youre trying to move. Could have been cool, but profiteering and inefficient coding killed this one for us.
Why did u put a rainbow color trucks in the game. U sick people. There is kids playing it.
It wont let us play because the ads dont stop.
Plays ads 4 to 5 times with no reason.
We previously purchased the full version and it was offloaded due to inactivity. We downloaded the game again, and the restore purchase button doesnt work.
The game is so stupid and dumb we hate it.
Very confused why this is listed on the App Store alongside the exact same game called Bridge Constructor. There is literally no difference between the two games except one is free and one isnt.
SAID FREE BUT LOOK AT THIS YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REST OF THE GAME AFTER THE TRIAL we AM SO MAD RIGHT NOW THAT we HAVE WASTED A BUNCH OF MY STORAGE ON THIS AND NOW NOW. IT BOTHERS ME WITH LONG ADS AND JUST A TRIAL GAME THEN CHARGED MONEY FOR THE REST TERRIBLE ABSOLUTELY AWFUL.
There is about twice as much time watching ads as there is playing the game. That was a swift delete for us.
The first level was good but when we got to level two it spammed us with adds and didnt let us play.
Way too many ads. Build a bridge under 20 seconds and you get 30 some second ad. Very annoying.
Advertised as free game, its only a trial.
First we heard the game was bad right?Then we heard the game is good who should we listen to??we have not got the game yet because of who we should listen to.
So many adds and long ones. The game is moldy entertaining but not worth watching all those adds. Avoid this one. :-(.
Once you purchase you have no way to restore that purchase if you delete the game. Very buggy! Kinda fun, but a waste of $.
Okay so this game was good at first, but then we went to move on to the next group of levels and it wouldn't let us because we didn't have all the badges. We went back to check and see what we needed and it was mostly the badges for staying under the budget. We thought it would be easy, so we went back and tried to stay under our budget. It was literally impossible to do. If you want us to stay under a $14,000 budget, then why are the concrete pillars to hold the bridge up $9000? What makes you think $5000 is going to get us anywhere? Especially when its a pretty long bridge? Anyways, we deleted the app and from now on, everytime we want to build a bridge, we will not be coming here. Goodnight.
You only get to play the tutorial and two levels. You have to pay to play the rest of the game. There are ads in the game so we don't understand why the devs can't give us the full game for free.
Challenging but very fun. Make you think before acting.
This game is fun because it is a challenge and people mite not like challenges but it is still really fun! We think everyone should have this game it is that fun to us.
This game is GREAT! The new update really makes it easier shifting gears. We play this game at least once a week and we tell all our friends to too.
