Fantastic contraption is a brilliant and fun engineering game that I find addictive. The object is simple, you have to get a pink item of cargo from the left side of the screen to the right hand target area (also coloured pink). You have at your disposal wheels and links which you have to join together to make a vehicle or contaption to overcome the obstacles in your way. The interactive tutorial (click start here) explains it better than me. It is important when creating a link that you join it exactly to the right spot or the thing comes apart.
What I like about this is there is no time limit, you can have as many goes as you like and go back and change the design until it works. Great educational tool for children (and me )

Tip, dont start playing this just before you were about to go to bed, you might be up all night...

Thanks Frank, I think I'm trying to spend more time on the forum not less.
I'm sure there's no logic to my contraptions its just pure luck when they work.
Its very good though, I'm sure my little man will enjoy it.  _________________

I've just solved 'up the stairs' and whilst my contraption isnt as technically elegant as the one uploaded by another player, it works, its faster and it reminds me of me going to bed on a Tuesday night after the pub...
