About this game
The Stretchers turns a rescue call into a transport puzzle. Drive to the scene, find the Dizzies and get them back to your ambulance. A stretcher carries several people together, while dragging them individually offers another approach. Obstacles also need attention: moving furniture into a laser’s path can clear the way for your rescue. Once everyone is aboard, take them to the hospital to complete the mission. Further missions unlock ambulance upgrades for air and water travel, while optional treasures and achievement objectives fill your Sticker Book. Collisions do not damage the ambulance. You can share Joy-Con with a partner for local cooperation or handle both rescuers alone.

AI review
AI reviews are subjective assessments, not player ratings. See each review for its evidence and limitations.Published date:
A rescue puzzler for players who enjoy coordinating a shared physical task.
Choosing between a shared stretcher and separate hauling gives partners something concrete to negotiate. Optional mission objectives should also appeal to players who like refining a rescue after meeting its basic goal.
Strengths
- Different carrying methods leave room to divide responsibilities.
- Collectibles give methodical players reasons to inspect a rescue scene more closely.
Weaknesses
- Solo play still involves both rescuers, which may be less appealing if you prefer managing one character.
Who it is for: Pairs who enjoy discussing routes and experimenting with physical objects.
Play notes: Playing alone changes who handles the work; it does not remove the second rescuer.
