The game is great and WOW what awesome service as far as delivering the item in a timely manner and packaging it well!!! Check out the other versions available to see what the game is like - customers have left some very accurate and helpful reviews. Ignore the reviews that say you can play the old version from 1996 on a computer that has XP. You can't, but the newest version is meant for XP, so get that one if you need to. Great and very unique style of puzzles... will really exercise a kid's brain to the max.

I bought this for my 6 year old daughter and the first time we played it was a little too challenging, then after we "got it" and understood the whole concept now at 6 1/2 she LOVES this game. The object is to get as many zoombinis through to the end; each stop is a logical puzzle that challenges both of us. Sometimes we work together to figure out a puzzle and usually she figures it out using deductive reasoning... without even knowing it! We are not fans of computer games, but because of the logical challenges, we find this game awesome! I would recommend this for a 6 year old or higher. Note that this game has remained a favorite in our house for two years and is still a fun adventure. There are versions for Mac or PC.

What fun and a great learning tool

Fabulous learning tool for your children. They have fun and learn how to use logical thinking. Thank you to the developers of Zoombinis.

What a Logic Adventure!

I first learned of this software when I was in college...studying to get my certification to teach math. This is the updated version for use with computers running Windows XP. It still has the appeal to draw kids of all ages (mine are 8 and 6) in and keep them coming back for more logical thinking (they don't even realize they are developing wonderful thinking skills). I even find it a needed break from playing Sudoku all the time! The user interface is easily used by my kids without much help by me, and each of my kids have their own "login" so they can save their own game and go back to it at any time. I would have gladly rated this game 5 stars across the board, however, I was a little dissapointed at the developers of this game. My computer background is curious as to why they didn't take a little more care in writing the code to make the program run easiest on WinXP. The program still has to change the screen resolution (you don't have to know how to do this, it does it automatically), which means if your computer doesn't have a decent amount of RAM, the screen will appear to jump and lag at times. This "problem" doesn't happen all of the time, but it is worth noting for users who have little patience.

You should get this game!

It's fun, but it gives you practice in logical thinking skills. You create your own Zoombini characters and then go on a journey to Zoombini Island. You can choose different paths to get there. Along the way, you face different sorting-type challenges. At each point along the way, you have to figure out what characteristic the sorting "creature" likes. If you pass one level enough times, you move up to the next, and harder, level. You should buy this game!

This product stopped working on our computer? We got to play it a few times but jams and doesn't let us click on things? Very frustrating.

Very fun for any age

My ten year old has been playing this game since he was 5. He loves it. We even bought a new copy when our old one broke. I even play by myself sometimes, the puzzles are that fun. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is that it would have been helpful to have hints for the last level of puzzles. We can't quite get a full set of zoombinis through on those last levels. Other than that, it's a lot of fun.
