Rating: - not the best of zoombinis but still extremely good
this game is probably my least favorite of the three zoombini games with logical journey being my favorite, but it is still a great game for children. the learning company tends to make the age limit younger then it should be. i would say its for like 7-13 years of age
Rating: - A fantastic group of games!
We purchased all three Zoombini games for our boys (ages 7,5,5 and 4). Though the three youngest ones are still a little young to figure out some of the puzzles, they will all sit very quietly and watch big brother play the games until we pry them away!
I couldn't be happier with both the educational problem-solving content and the level of fun. Out of all our computer games, the Zoombini games are the ones they choose to play each time. 5 stars!
Rating: - Outstanding
Aside from teaching logic to children of all ages, this game also teaches self-confidence and self-esteem. Upon successfully completing a puzzle one hears "Well done, oh wise and trusty guide,"--or words of the like. These magnificent puzzles build skill and character without pressure of any kind. Mistakes are just an opportunity to learn better next time.
Each puzzle completed well brings praise and the reward of continuing on the logical journey. But in the instances one loses a few Zoombinis along the road, there is no cause for alarm. "Don't worry, you'll meet the Zoombinis again later," the narrator tells players.
The challenges are great for children of all ages and even for adults. I could think of much worse games with which to play of an afternoon with my kids. Even the characters and sound effects on this game are pleasant. This game is a welcome relief from mass-market time wasters. It's fun and education packed together.
