Logical Journey of the Zoombinis Description

The Logical Journey of the Zoombinis is a game released in 1996. Zoombinis are the main creatures in a series of educational software. Near the beginning of each game, the player has the ability to select a party of Zoombinis by choosing characteristics for the Zoombinis like eyes/glasses, hair/hats, nose color, and shoes/means of locomotion. The party of Zoombinis travels through a series of puzzles, which the player must solve to proceed. These puzzles often depend on the characteristics of the Zoombinis, for example matching Zoombinis with the same characteristics and none left over.

Logical Journey of the Zoombinis (also known as Zoombinis Logical Journey in the remake) is an educational puzzle computer game developed and published by Brøderbund Software for the original and The Learning Company for the remake.

The Zoombinis are a race of small blue creatures depicted with varying facial features, initially living in prosperous peace on a small island called Zoombini Isle. However, they are tricked and enslaved by their neighbors, the Bloats. The game depicts the Zoombinis’ search for a new home, featuring a variety of logical puzzles which the player must solve to get the Zoombinis to their new home.

Most of the puzzles involve the physical features of the Zoombinis as part of the solution. For example, in the puzzle ‘Allergic Cliffs’, the player is given a choice of 2 bridges, each of which will allow Zoombinis to pass only if they have certain combinations of features.

When the Zoombinis home, Zoombini Isle, is taken over by creatures called Bloats, they decide to escape to a new home. But they can only 16 at a time, and they must cross many obstacles that require logic to get past. It’s up to you to get past all the puzzles to get all of the Zoombinis to their new home.

The  Zoombinis  are a race of small blue creatures depicted with varying facial features, initially living in prosperous peace on a small island called Zoombini Isle. Later they are tricked and enslaved by their neighbors, the Bloats. The game depicts the Zoombinis' search for a new home, featuring a variety of logical puzzles which the player must solve to get the Zoombinis to their new home. Most of the puzzles involve the physical features of the Zoombinis as part of the solution. For example, in the puzzle 'Allergic Cliffs', the player is given a choice of 2 bridges, each of which will allow Zoombinis to pass only if they have certain combinations of features. In total, there are 625 unique combinations, of which the game allows to make up to two Zoombinis (twins) with each combination, making 1,250 possible Zoombinis in total. Of these, 625 must be saved in order to win the game.

The Zoombinis travel in groups of a maximum of 16 per group across a series of puzzles. There are 12 puzzles in total, split into four sections of 3 puzzles each, and the Zoombinis must complete a path of 9 puzzles to establish their new home at 'Zoombiniton' ('Zoombiniville' in US version). The first and last 'legs' are compulsory and must be completed by all Zoombinis; for the second leg, the player is given a choice to take either the north or the south path. Between each 'leg' is a campsite where the Zoombinis can be stored for later retrieval.

The first time the player successfully brings an entire party of 16 Zoombinis through a leg, a building will be constructed at Zoombiniton/Zoombiniville to celebrate this achievement. If three parties of 16 are brought through a leg, the difficulty of that leg increases for future trips (unless it is already the maximum difficulty, named "Very, Very Hard" and color-coded red). The four difficulty levels are 'Not So Easy', 'Oh So Hard', 'Very Hard', and 'Very Very Hard', and each difficulty level is color-coded (green, purple, yellow, and red, respectively). Once a leg has increased in difficulty, there is no way to reverse the change.

Version Differences [ ]

Logical Journey of the Zoombinis was released by Brøderbund but later on changed hands to the Learning Company. The latter re-released the game as Logical Journey of the Zoombinis Deluxe and finally Zoombinis' Logical Journey, which is important because the last release is capable of running on modern computers where the original and Deluxe are not.

Deluxe introduced such features as Practice Mode, in which the player can pick any level and any difficulty to play without influencing their "campaign" progress, and the help icon, which explains how to solve each level from within it. It also required beating each path 3 times without losing any zoombini in order to raise its difficulty, instead of only needing to do so just once.

Zoombinis' Logical Journey offers no new features, but is able to run on newer computers.

Zoombinis is a remake of this game with updated assets released by FableVision, Learning Games Network, & Terc.

Teacher Recommended!!!

On a hunch, I did a search in the App Store for the Zoombinis and was stunned to see that it was there in its original form. I just couldn’t wait to play! This is my favorite piece of software ever! As a teacher, I use to play with my third graders and I played it at home as did my friends. The kids utterly loved the adorable blue creatures on their escapades to reach the home of the Zoombinis. They literally begged to play and I acquiesced. The logic skills they picked up! If I had to pick one piece of software for primary school students, I’d select the Zoombinis. In the beginning, each Zoombini receives cute little attributes for their hair, eyes, noses, and feet which they are most often grouped by in the endearing puzzles. I’m at the beginning level right now and I’m running into problems with the Tatooted Toads. I’m just going to have to keep it at it. Also something as minor as how do I move the lever to get the cart to go in at junction in Mirror Machine? As a teacher and as a former kid, I give the Zoombinis the highest recommendation possible. It is true to the 1980‘s form of the game with authentic music, graphics and gameplay. I want to see MORE of the Zoombini games, please!! As it is, I will recommend it to every kid, parent and grandparent I come across. I think I’ll do that right now!

I got an iPad to play this game

Zoombinis was our family’s favorite game to play when I was a kid! My sister and I would argue over who got play on the computer first. When I heard they recreated the game into an app I was ECSTATIC! I looked up the app and saw the pictures. Everything is almost identical to the PC version. I begged my husband for an iPad for Christmas just to play this game and it has not disappointed. The nostalgia is overwhelming lol. It took me back to 8 year old me. I immediately started quoting the pizza trolls and the narrator; I was even shocked I remembered it all. I love that they used the same voices for the characters. I really REALLY hope that they recreate more of the Zoombini games!! This game is worth buying an iPad to play! The only thing I did not like is the much much lower number of Zoombinis to get to Zoombiniville. The app has 400 while I remember the computer game having over 1000.

Challenging for adults too

There is no way a 10 year old can solve the very very hard level puzzles. I am 32 years old with a physics degree and it takes every ounce of thinking power in my noggin to get all 16 homies to Zoombiniville. 10 year old me would not have the patience and discipline to solve these puzzles. He would have gave up and started playing Pokémon Blue on his game boy once he reached the very hard level (which is exactly what I did back then). I’m glad that 22 years later, I’m finally able to beat this game. I highly recommend this game. It is in my hall of fame along with Oregan Trail and Where In The World Is Carmen San Diego

Logical Journey of the Zoombinis

Following research done on data literacy and inspired by development of a children’s visual exploratory data tool in the 1990’s, Broderbund and TERC created an educational logical thinking skills game featuring the Zoombinis, little blue creatures each with distinct personalities and appearances, escaping imprisonment by the evil Bloats and making their way to the safety of Zoombiniville.

Introduced in 1996 “Logical Journey of the Zoombinis” became a hit in the popular edutainment category, selling half a million copies, spawning two sequels, and appealing both to parents and teachers looking for a truly engaging, fun to play game that was also educational. Fans who grew up on Zoombinis, some inspired by the game to go into computer science and similar fields and others nostalgically looking for the same experience for their children, as well as teachers who kept 10 year old computers running in their classrooms just to play Zoombinis, regularly appealed to TERC to bring back the game for modern platforms.

Zoombinis maps very well to the learning of what are now called “computational thinking skills,” and with partners FableVision Studios and Learning Games Network, TERC relaunched Zoombinis in 2015 for tablets and desktop computers, and is now bringing Zoombinis to the classroom with FableVision Games, backed by research on the effectiveness of Zoombinis in educational settings.

For further background see Chris Hancock and Scot Osterweil’s 1996 article Zoombinis and the Art of Mathematical Play and also The long, strange journey of ‘Zoombinis’ from USA Today.

I have played this ., at one time or another with 5 grandkids. We took the game all the way to the end each time. So, I basically played with each at 3rd grade level, and beat it 5 times. It is tough and challenges even 12 graders. It teaches arithmetic skills, and many other skills like patience and determination.

The one on Steam is NOT "The Logical Journey of the Zoombinis". It's just "Zoombinis", a very poorly make remake/sequal. Not at all the same thing.

Pearlite 2018-08-22 2 points

When I played this game as a child, the rating on the box said "Ages 10 and Up". But that was deceiving; Zoombinis was a lot more difficult than the cartoony animation and art style would lead players to believe. I used to think it was impossible. Now that I'm a grown-up, I've come back to this and successfully mastered the game and all its puzzles, though it did take quite a lot of thinking to figure out a strategy. I can guide Zoombinis with ease, but there's still an element of challenge when several of the puzzles rely on trial-and-error to discover its rules.

Dana 2018-05-16 0 point

Can anyone help me figure out a way to run Zoombinis on a Chromebook, using a chrome browser? I'm desperate for my students to play this wonderful game, but all we have at school are Chromebooks. Please help!!!!! Thank you.

I would be keen to go so far as to say that this is the best children's puzzle game ever made. I still play this game now. It does reach a difficulty point that is tricky, even for adults. Amazing game.

TheoX 2017-01-28 1 point Windows version

Commenting to say that I was able to run the game perfectly using VMWare in Windows 7 by following the instructions posted by user "ENT" lower down. I copied the instructions down; if anyone can't find the comment or it gets deleted, email me at jtbswartz ((AT)) yahoo ((dot)) com and I will send the instructions to you. Cheers ENT, I'm playing Zoombinis again. HIP HIP ZOOMBINI!

I got this working nicely in DOSbox. It basically went down like this. 1. I mounted the iso directory of zoombinis in DOSbox, it gave me an error saying I needed Windows installed. 2. I then found a Windows 3.1 set of floppy disk images, I extracted them all into a single folder, mounted that folder in DOSbox in its own C directory and then successfully installed Windows3.1 within DOSbox. 3. I then remounted the Zoombinis iso image to the D directory, then I started up Windows3.1 and used the file explorer to run the Zoombinis installer. It installed itself and the quicktime runtimes. 4. After running the shortcut created within windows, another error, this time about a lack of sound drivers, after fixing that it will complain about SVGA drivers. I found this wonderful guide which addresses both of these issues. http://www.howtogeek.com/230359/how-to-install-windows-3.1-in-dosbox-set-up-drivers-and-play-16-bit-games/ After that you can play flawlessly with no weird compatibility issues.

Your link to the Windows XP only leads to links for Windows 10. All Microsoft links now only force you into doing Windows 10 now. Windows 10 SUCKS at any backwards compatibility and spits out CD-Roms unless it's the latest AAA game. Windows 10 wants it so you do online gaming only where you can't do anything offline in your own private sphere. If Microsoft could they would partner with Google and make you always online with no choice.

Easiest way to play this game is in a Windows 98 Virtual Machine. Here's how I did it, works flawlessly; 1. Install VMWare Player (free) 2. load this pre-made win98 Virtual Machine https://winworldpc.com/download/3DD43CC6-18DA-11E4-99E5-7054D21A8599 3. Once running win98, on VMWare toolbar click Player Removable Devices CD/DVD settings 4. under connection in cd/dvd settings, tick 'use ISO image file:' and select zoombinis image, click ok. 5. Go to Player Removable Devices CD/DVD and click connect 6. install zoombinis 7. Right click desktop properties settings tab and set color to 256 colors

For the life of me I cannot get it to work on Windows 10. Tried everything I could but to no avail... Apparently The Learning Company version works just fine, but this older release by Broderbund does not. I wish I still had my copy of this game, damnit. I wanted to screw around and have a nostalgia trip with my friends at ungodly hours of the night but I guess I'll have to nab a copy on amazon or something instead...

I tried so hard for hours to get this game to work. I followed your instructions to a t. when the first method failed i tried the second. everything was working until the part where i had to run the game installation. i cant get the quicktime to install form the zoombinis installer nor does downloading it separately work. no matter what i do it always says i need quicktime 2.1 All i wanted was to play this stupid game and instead i've merely wasted hours of my life i could have used to do something productive with my life. I hope for very unpleasant things to happen to whoever wrote this page and it's horrible time stealing lies!!!

Used Daemontools to mount the iso as drive Z and modified the path in the zoombini cfg file to point towards drive Z:.. Then you just run the Zoombini executable file.. The whole game is 95 meg.

Same issue as a few people have mentioned already, running Windows 8 and using DOSBOX in latest version of D-FEND RELOADED and it's unable to locate an executable. Used windows 8 auto mount in the extracted file location but you can't launch from there, and D-FEND won't allow a profile to be created (or I don't know how to do it) is there a workaround for this on windows 8?

I am in possession of both Mountain Rescue and Logical Journey Discs that we ordered back when i was in primary school (im 2nd year UNI now). It seems that even with the disc the game freezes upon clicking "Yes" on the installed. Im running a 64-bit Alienware 17R5 so specs arnt the problem. I think it may have something to do with the fact that the launcher/installer runs 32-bit. Ive also tried running in compatibility mode for XP, 98 and 95 but nothing works.

qwert 2014-01-15 0 point Windows version

I got to installing it. It's an ISO file so you will need a virtual drive(daemon tools or the likes). There is still one problem. It needs a CD when you start. Even when you have mounted the ISO, it still needs a CD to run. I think the virtual drives i tried did not emulate the protection still on this ISO.

Yathena 2014-01-07 1 point Windows version

I downloaded this one twice (just to make sure the first didn't screw up) and both times I get the message that it contains no executable files. I know this was just put up, so it could be that it just needs an update. I was so excited to play this! Please fix it!

• Walkthrough

The Logical Journey of the Zoombinis/Walkthrough

• VisualEditor
• View history

The Zoombinis travel in groups of 16 across a series of puzzles. There are 12 puzzles in total, split into four legs, and the Zoombinis must complete three legs (9 puzzles) in order to reach their new home. The first and last legs are compulsory and are completed by all Zoombinis; for the second leg the player is given a choice to take either the north or the south path.

In between each leg, there is a campsite where the Zoombinis can be stored for later retrieval.

If the player successfully brings an entire party of 16 Zoombinis through a leg, the leg will increase in difficulty and a building will be constructed at Zoombiniville to celebrate. The four difficulty levels are Not So Easy, Oh So Hard, Very Hard, and Very Very Hard, and each difficulty level is color-coded. Once a leg has increased in difficulty, there is no way to revert the change. If a group of 16 Zoombinis complete a leg while the difficulty is Very Very Hard, the difficulty does not increase since there is no higher level to progress to. In the same way, completing a leg under the Very Very Hard difficulty level will only reward the player with a new building once, since there is only one building per leg at each difficulty level.

Leg 1: The Big, The Bad and The Hungry [ | ]

This leg starts at Zoombini Isle and finishes at the first campsite, Shelter Rock.

Allergic Cliffs [ | ]

Puzzle type – Logic, Set theory.

There are two bridges hanging over a cliff supported by six wooden pegs. The Zoombinis can only cross one of the bridges, and the bridge they are allowed to cross is determined by their characteristics. If the wrong bridge is selected, the face embedded in the cliff will have an allergic reaction and the Zoombini will be sent tumbling or flying back to the other side. As a result, a peg will spring loose and drop down the cliff. If all six pegs come loose, the bridges will collapse onto the faces and the Zoombinis who did not make it to the other side will be stranded, unable to cross between the cliffs. Assuming the player actually moves the same Zoombini to each of the two bridges (where the first bridge was wrong and the second bridge is the correct one), the player is guaranteed five Zoombinis to the other side.

Stone Cold Caves [ | ]

The Zoombinis arrive at a stone face divided into four caves, which can be accessed by one path each. Each path is guarded by two stone guardians, who will only let Zoombinis pass if they have the right characteristics, similar to Allergic Cliffs. If the wrong cave is selected, a guardian will release a rock slide, sending the Zoombini tumbling down the path to the bottom. The player has many chances to find the right cave for each Zoombini before a rock slide tumbles down from above and seals the cave paths, leaving behind those who have not entered a cave. There is wise and quiet Onyx, sweet and snobbish Ferrous, grouchy and mean Ignorameous, and cute and beautiful Crystal.

Pizza Pass [ | ]

Puzzle type -Trial and error.

The Zoombinis arrive on a dirt road guarded by three tree trolls: Arno, Willa and Shyler. There is a pizza machine to the left which has options for different toppings for a pizza and ice cream. The trolls are hungry, and the player must create a pizza with unique toppings for each of them. If none of the trolls are happy with the toppings on the pizza, it will be thrown into a pit. But if one of the trolls likes all of the toppings present on the pizza, it will be thrown onto the rock behind that troll instead. Once a troll receives a pizza with all of the wanted toppings on it, the troll will move to stand on his or her respective rock and wait for the remaining trolls to be satisfied. If the player is unsuccessful in delivering the correct pizza after 6 tries, the Zoombini delivering the pizza will be whacked back a short distance by the nearest troll that is present. If there are more incorrect delivers, the Zoombini will be whacked back to Zoombini Isle. The more incorrect deliveries, the more Zoombinis will be whacked away. Once all trolls are satisfied, they will finish their pizzas until their tummies are full and the remaining Zoombinis will then be allowed to continue their journey. Arno is grouchy and naive, Willa is beautiful, witty and bossy, and Shyler is very shy, quiet, sweet, and cute.

There are significant changes to the puzzle as the level of difficulty increases:

• Not So Easy: Only Arno is present, and there are five pizza toppings.
• Oh, So Hard: Willa is added, giving a total of two trolls. There are now four pizza toppings, and ice cream is added with a total of 2 toppings.
• Very Hard: Shyler is now added, so all trolls are present. Ice cream toppings remain the same as the preceding level, but all five pizza toppings can now be used.
• Very, Very Hard: Same as Very Hard, but now with three ice cream toppings.

Shelter Rock [ | ]

Once this leg is complete, the remaining Zoombinis will arrive at Shelter Rock, the first campsite. The player is then given the opportunity to take either the north or the south path through to the next leg if they have 16 Zoombinis present. If the player does not have enough Zoombinis, or if they decide to return to a different campsite, the player can place any remaining Zoombinis into a storage compartment.

Leg 2A: The Marshy Trail / Who's Bayou [ | ]

This leg starts at Shelter Rock and finishes at the second camp site, Shade Tree. If the Zoombinis choose to travel north from Shelter Rock, this is the leg that they will take.

Captain Cajun's Ferryboat [ | ]

Puzzle type- Trial and error, Following a sequence, Pattern finding.

Captain Cajun will take the Zoombinis across a wide river on his ferry boat, but only if they have a characteristic in common with the person they sit next to. As the puzzle difficulty increases, the seats become closer together, so each Zoombini must have something in common with multiple Zoombinis. On the first level, the Zoombinis are placed in a line where fourteen of them must have something in common with two other Zoombinis and the other two just only needs something common with one other Zoombini. On the second level, the Zoombinis are placed on a 2 by 8 grid. On the third level, the Zoombinis are placed on a 4 by 4 grid. The final level is a 4 by 4 grid with the rows shifted slightly, honeycomb-style. Here, some spaces require one Zoombini to share something in common with six other Zoombinis, as opposed to four.

Titanic Tattooed Toads [ | ]

Puzzle Type - Following a sequence, pattern finding, problem solving.

The player must find a path on different shaped, patterned and colored lily pads for huge toads to ferry them across the river on their backs. Each toad has a shape on its back which corresponds to a particular feature (hence 'tattooed toads'). The same toad cannot be used more than twice nor will there be any toads that hop diagonally. If the player chooses a path which doesn’t have a continuing sequence of the shape, color or pattern on the toad's back, the toad will get stuck and the Zoombini will be left in limbo on the lily pads and cannot continue. When the puzzle difficulty increases, there are few or no paths to be found, but half-formed ones. A fairy is shown at the beginning of the puzzle changing the lily pads with a wand. The wand (called the "Swapping Stick") is left with the toads and the player must swap the lily pads with the wand to make a path. Eventually, the wand's power will run out. In the third and fourth levels, crabs emerge from the river at the top of the lily pad field. The crabs have the shape of a particular lily pad on their back and, like the toads, will work their way down the field to obstruct the toads pathway, possibly taking them in a different direction.

Stone Rise [ | ]

Similar to Captain Cajun's Ferryboat, the Zoombinis must be arranged on stones so that each Zoombini has one particular feature in common with their neighbor on the next stone. The feature to be matched is identified by a small etching on the stone between them. Doing so will create a power surge between the stones. When all the Zoombinis share a connection between their neighbors and all are connected to the power source (indicated by the stones turning red or blue), the stones rise up out of the riverbed and the Zoombinis can continue. In 'Very Very Hard' Mode (Red, Level 4) of this activity, in the centre of the field usually will be a line of four stones,(starting with the main stone on the very right and the other three directly left of it horizontally. Linking Zoombinis on these four stones, and these four stones only a banner stating that the player has entered the 'Psychedelic ZB Zone' where the Zoombinis will start to flash, for visual effect only.

Leg 2B: Deep, Dark Forest [ | ]

This leg starts at Shelter Rock and finishes at the second camp site, Shade Tree. If the Zoombinis choose to travel south from Shelter Rock, this is the leg that they will take.

Fleens! [ | ]

The Zoombinis meet their supposed cousins, the Fleens, in a clearing. There are three Fleens on a tree branch, which must be lured off by a Zoombini who has characteristics that correspond to the Fleen's characteristics. The object of this puzzle is to work out which Zoombini characteristics correspond to the Fleen characteristics. When a Fleen is lured off the branch by a Zoombini, they chase the Zoombini until the Zoombini escapes onto a separate tree branch. The player has six attempts to match the Zoombini with the Fleen before the Zoombinis run out of room on the tree branch and fall off, only to be chased away by their Fleen counterpart. If all three Fleens on the tree branch are lured off, the beehive on the branch gets disrupted and the remaining Fleens are chased away by the bees, forming a shape of either a pair of scissors, an arrow, or a storm cloud.

Assuming the 16th and last Zoombini lures the last Fleen off the branch, the player is guaranteed to have six Zoombinis progressing to the next challenge.

Didimension Hotel / Hotel Dimensia [ | ]

Ulla Instantaneous is a musical squirrel who owns Didimension Hotel, Zoombini sized compartments hollowed out of a row of trees. She is preparing to close the hotel for the night so that she can begin the nightly rehearsals of her jazz band or go home. The player must place the Zoombinis in the compartments by characteristics (row by row, column by column, etc.), but if they are placed in the wrong compartment, the ledge holding the Zoombini will retract and the Zoombini will fall. Every time this happens, the clock on left side of the screen will cause 5 minutes to pass and the setting will get darker. The more mistakes made, the quicker the time passes and the darker it will become. If the clock reaches midnight, all the ledges will retract, announcing the hotel officially closed and the Zoombinis who don't have a room must return to the previous base camp.

Mudball Wall [ | ]

A large stone wall inconveniently blocks the path of the Zoombinis. A nearby machine creates mud balls that can be colored and stamped with a shape. If the mud balls hit a certain target on the wall, either one, two or three Zoombinis get catapulted over the wall to safety. Eventually, the mud in the machine will run out, stranding those who did not make it over the wall. As the difficulty increases, additial squares will be added that require the player to pick the correct shape, mud colour and the colour inside the shape.

Shade Tree [ | ]

Once Zoombinis complete either of these two legs, they will arrive at Shade Tree, the second campsite. Shade Tree works in exactly the same way as Shelter Rock.

The only difference with Shade Tree (in terms of gameplay) is that there is now only one path that the Zoombinis can take - the path leading to the Mountains of Despair, which is the final leg.

Leg 3: The Mountains of Despair [ | ]

This is the final leg of the journey.

The Lion's Lair [ | ]

The Zoombinis encounter a dimly lit cavern where a large, stone lion guards the only way onward. Below the lion is a path consisting of 16 stones. The Zoombinis must be placed on the path, in order, according to certain characteristics, which are shown on the wall. If a Zoombini is placed on the wrong stone, that Zoombini is transported to the correct stone and a peg holding up a large gate pops free. When all the pegs are gone, the gate falls and the Zoombinis behind it return to Shade Tree. The Zoombinis which are placed correctly on the path are allowed by the lion to continue their journey. As the difficulty increases, characteristics disappear from the wall until no characteristics are shown.

Mirror Machine [ | ]

Puzzle type – Identifying, forward planning.

The player is presented with a set of glass slides, each bearing the image of a Zoombini. The player then has to pick a Zoombini from the party to match a slide featuring its doppelganger. The images from the Zoombini and from the slide are then projected onto each side of a large, crystal pendulum in the center of the stage. Think of it as balancing an equation. If this is done correctly, the pendulum is lifted and the Zoombini, riding a mine cart, will jump across a shaft and can move on. If it is done incorrectly, the pendulum is lowered and the Zoombini will crash into it and fall down the shaft. As the puzzle difficulty gets harder, the original reflections have to be modified by adding extra glass slides in front of them. Later on, the player will be forced to use a particular Zoombini (based on the order in which they left the last challenge), and later still, the player will be forced to use the same set of intervening slides to make the images of two Zoombinis in succession match the images of two slides.

Bubblewonder Abyss [ | ]

The Zoombinis have to navigate a maze while encased inside a bubble. They have to be sent through the maze through one of the starting points, and the player has no control over the bubble once it is in motion. Panels at junctions in the maze will change the direction of some Zoombinis, according to certain characteristics. A wrong move can result in Zoombinis getting sucked into a whirlpool and lost when their protective bubble pops. If they are placed correctly, they are able to pass to the other side of the abyss. All Zoombinis that were lost will return to the Shade Tree base camp.

As the puzzle difficulty gets harder, the Zoombinis can only navigate the maze from one starting point. The player must notice arrows that alternate the directions in which they send Zoombinis, as well as panels that switch direction when a bubble passes over a corresponding trigger. Still other panels lock bubbles in place until another bubble passes over a release trigger, allowing the trapped bubble to continue in its previous direction. So as to not lose Zoombinis, players must send Zoombinis into the maze with the correct sequence and timing. The player should also be aware that if two bubbles collide with each other, both bubbles will pop and those Zoombinis will be lost. (The exception is if one bubble bumps another one out of a lock panel.)

Those who survive this leg will reach their goal: Zoombiniton. The more Zoombinis complete the journey, the more buildings, houses, etc. get built and the bigger the town will grow.

Zoombiniton / Zoombiniville [ | ]

Zoombiniton is the new home of the Zoombinis. The first time the player gets an entire group of 16 Zoombinis through a certain leg at a certain level, a special building gets constructed.

The buildings that can be earned are (in order): a band shell, a windmill, a general store, a swimming pool, a clock tower, a bowling alley, a fire station, an opera house, a paper clip museum, a courthouse, a monument, a school, a city hall, a library, an observatory and a playground.

Logical Journey of the Zoombinis is an engaging educational puzzle game where players guide adorable blue creatures through a series of challenging puzzles, honing their logical thinking skills while helping the Zoombinis find their new home.

Introduction

Gameplay and zoombini quest, puzzle exploration and progression, development and localization, play logical journey of the zoombinis online.

Logical Journey of the Zoombinis is an educational puzzle video game that takes players on a captivating adventure with small blue creatures called Zoombinis.

Developed and published by Broderbund, this game challenges players’ logic and problem-solving skills through a series of intriguing puzzles.

Join the Zoombinis as they embark on a quest to find a new home and outsmart their adversaries, the Bloats.

Logical Journey of the Zoombinis , also known as Zoombinis Logical Journey , is the first installment in the Zoombinis video game series. It was developed by Broderbund and later re-released by The Learning Company .

This educational puzzle game offers players a unique experience where they must guide the Zoombinis through a series of logical challenges to help them find a new home.

The Zoombinis are adorable small blue creatures living peacefully on Zoombini Isle until they are ensnared by the Bloats. The game follows their journey to secure a new homeland by solving a range of logical puzzles.

These puzzles often incorporate the Zoombinis’ distinctive facial features as essential elements of the solutions.

For example, the ‘Allergic Cliffs’ puzzle presents players with two bridge choices, each allowing Zoombinis to cross only if they possess specific combinations of features.

With a total of 625 unique combinations, players can create up to two Zoombinis (twins) for each combination, resulting in a potential total of 1,250 Zoombinis. To win the game, 625 Zoombinis must be saved.

Zoombinis travel in groups of up to 16, navigating through a series of 12 puzzles divided into four sets of three puzzles each. Successfully completing a path of nine puzzles leads the Zoombinis to their new home, Zoombiniton (also known as Zoombiniville in the US version).

The first and last legs are mandatory for all Zoombinis. However, during the second leg, players have the option to choose either the north or south path.

Between each leg, Zoombinis can rest at a campsite for future use. As players successfully guide a party of 16 Zoombinis through a leg, a celebratory building is erected in Zoombiniton/Zoombiniville.

If three parties of 16 complete a leg, the difficulty level of that leg increases for subsequent journeys.

Logical Journey of the Zoombinis was crafted in 1995 and officially released in 1996. The original version, launched by Broderbund Europe in March 1996, featured English, French, and German languages.

Later that year, the US division of Broderbund released an updated US version, including minor alterations and name changes for certain in-game areas.

Logical Journey of the Zoombinis is a captivating educational game that combines entertainment with brain-teasing challenges.

Through engaging puzzles and the quest for a new home, players exercise critical thinking, pattern recognition, and problem-solving skills. Join the Zoombinis on their adventure, and immerse yourself in a world of logical exploration and fun.
