	Zoombinis
		The Zoombinis Logical Journey and the Zoombinis Mountain Rescue are two of the most charming educational software titles for children you will ever have to opportunity to enjoy.
		These 2 Zoombinis titles are among the best of this crowded bunch, and could easily be on the top of anyone's list of recommended titles of computer games for children aged 8-12.
		The Zoombinis are fun-loving and always non-violent, and they must use their wacky wits and brainpower to defy adversity and solve the puzzles in the games.

	Zoombinis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Zoombinis are the main creatures in a series of educational software made by The Learning Company designed for child education.
		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.

		The easiest way to do this is to just put any Zoombini in the first seat, then put all of that nose-colored Zoombini next to each other, and when they run out, do another feature like eyes or hair, and then continue with that.
		But the cliffs are allergic to the Zoombinis, so you have to figure out exactly what they dislike to get all 16 Zoombinis to the other side.
		All of their body parts are matched to the Zoombinis', but it doesn't exactly show how, so you have to figure it out.

	Learning Village Educational Software Review of Zoombinis Logical Journey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Your objective is to get as many of the Zoombinis as possible through each one of the of the activities and eventually get them to the safety of the village in the middle of the island.
		The Zoombinis is an excellent selection if you want to give your child or students a program that is not overtly a "learning" program, but does in fact develop very fundamental thinking and logic skills, which are very useful in our increasingly "mathematical" world.
		Zoombinis is like being in a "mathematics" work out room without the numbers and that is the clever quality to these programs.

		The designs of the characters like the Zoombinis and the creatures that you meet on your journey like the Pizza Trolls, Allergic Cliffs and most of all, that great lion found in the Lion's Lair, are just great.

		Zoombini Isle is the jumping-off place for the journey.
		To pass a challenge, a Zoombini must have a certain combination of features or be arranged according to its features.
		As each group of Zoombinis completes a trail, the difficulty of the trail increases for the groups to follow.

		Zoombinis: cute little blue blobs that skate, whirl and sometimes just hop across the screen.
		The Zoombini games in general are logic/puzzle games where your goal is to move the Zoombini creatures through a story by solving various puzzles.
		The Zoombinis set themselves up to be launched by the catapult, but you have to time it just right so that the boulder travels down a chute and into a bucket attached to a series of gears to fall onto the end of the catapult rather than into the water.

	Zoombinis Mountain Rescue
		The Zoombinis must be transported along a journey dotted with these puzzles in order to help some stranded friends stuck in a cave (the storyline isn't important.) To begin, choose sixteen zoombinis using different body parts of feet, hair, eyes and noses.
		These characteristics are the criteria in each puzzle that uses patterns and categorization to sort the zoombinis.
		Zoombinis Mountain Rescue definitely has the educational content, every puzzle requires thought and planning ahead.

		Children recruit their bands of Zoombinis by selecting four critical features of each creature — the hair, eyes, noses, and "feet" — that later become the important variables in the logic-puzzle challenges of the game.
		Nine challenges face each band of Zoombinis, and as children succeed and return to lead new rescue parties on the odyssey, their difficulty levels increase.
		Not all Zoombinis will pass through individual challenges, but none of them are ever truly "lost." Those that don't pass simply return to the last rescue site in the journey.

	Zoombinis Island Odyssey - Review Corner - DiscoverySchool.com
		This third title in the Zoombinis series plays a little differently than the previous titles, but it is an excellent, if challenging, exercise in logical thinking.
		Seven challenges face each band of Zoombinis, and as children succeed and return to lead new rescue parties on the odyssey, their difficulty levels increase.
		Those new to the Zoombinis series may be interested in the previous two releases as well as this one: the classic title, Zoombinis Logical Journey, is highly recommended: and the sequel, Zoombinis Mountain Rescue, is a more challenging game.

		Zoombinis Maths Journey is mathematics but it uses logic and patterns as opposed to numbers.
		The Zoombinis are cute little creatures who have to trek across treacherous terrain in search of a new utopia, due to the evil Bloats taking over Zoombini Isle.
		To lead the Zoombinis to their destination, it is necessary to complete all the puzzles along a road, and this can be frustrating for a younger child stumped on one of the harder games (especially when the game hangs at a vital moment).

		The goal is for the students (without knowing the connection - see if they can derive this on their own) to be able to identify the similarities and the database processes involved in the creation and playing of the program.
		For example: as the Zoombinis cross the bridge, the database has been sorted so that Zoombinis with either one or two specific characteristics can cross the top bridge.
		Since this lesson is a demontration and group discussion, the evaluation will be on a general understanding by the class and their ability as a group to answer questions about databases.

	GamersInfo.net - PC/Mac - Zoombinis Logical Journey
		Because you have 16 Zoombinis, though, and four different characteristics to each, you might get to the last pair and find that you need to match feet and your two Zoombinis have the same hair, but different feet.
		So you might put all the Zoombinis with the same hair in line, then match eyes to the last one in that line, and feet to the last one in that line, but find that one Zoombini at the end doesn’t have anything in common with the next-to-the-last Zoombini.
		The goal is to figure out which Zoombini matches each of those three Fleens, so that the Fleens come down off the branch to chase their Zoombini partner.

		Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to help the Zoombinis on their escape so that they can travel to a new land where they can build their home and once again be in a state of nirvana.
		The Cliffs are allergic to certain Zoombinis features (hair, nose color, spring feet vs wheels, glasses, etc) and if your Zoombinis chooses the bridge to the cliff with an allergy to you, well then you'll get sneezed back to the other side.
		You have to figure out when to put your Zoombinis on the ledge to be "bubble-shipped" to the other side---make a right choice and the "ship" follows the arrow pattern safely.

	Learning Village Educational Software Review of Zoombinis Island Odyssey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Although the Zoombinis games were ostensibly about math and logic, I had come to believe that they were also about science.
		Although the games never explicitly say, "you're acting like a scientist," it is my hope that the habits of mind the player develops with the Zoombinis will stay with them throughout their lives.
		And so I tried to incorporate the real world throughout Zoombinis Island Odyssey, from the grand theme of ecology and life cycles that informs the game story, to more particular processes like pollination, plant anatomy, genetics or the phases of the moon that appear in individual puzzles.
