The Logical joureny of the Zoombinis has got to be one of the best games ever released for children. I teachs logic ( as the name implies), problem solving, but is also tons of fun! I had the origional Logical Journey of the Zoombinis, and played it for three years. It never got boring. With the different paths, the different ways of solving things, and the different levels of difficulty, It gives this game a great replay value. I played it for so long, and then my sister played it for just as long. On top of that, even adults might have some trouble making perfect pizzas for three very picky customers. A must buy for anyone with kids. It's probably the best birthday present they'll ever get!

Mac OSx+ Users: Skip This Title!

Although this product states it works with Mac OSx...it does not. Both of our macs spit the disk out promptly as it was incompatible and/or unreadable. It looks like a great game but, we'll never know. Hopefully the developers will address this issue.

"Mia's Math Caper" might be a great alternative to this title if you're a Mac user.

Great for classrooms, great price.

This game set is fantastic. It is very high interest with students in 5th and 6th grades. The price was fantastic compared to any other site on the net.

A good problem-solving game

I bought the Zoombini Mini 2 pack for my daughter, who is 6 years old, because she no longer found her Clifford and Starflyer games Clifford The Big Red Dog Thinking Adventures,StarFlyers Royal Jewel Rescue,StarFlyers Alien Space Chase challenging anymore. She played with the Zoombinis Logical Journey CD for the first time yesterday evening and was completely hooked. A few of the challenges (e.g. encounter with the Pizza Troll) were more difficult than others, but they were not off-putting nor too frustrating, and it wasn't long before she discovered how to apply logic and pattern recognition to overcome those difficulties. The game occasionally pauses now and then, but it could simply be due to my computer and not the software design. Fortunately I installed it on my Dell without any of the problems described by other buyers. Overall, the game is fun for younger kids, but I can see how older kids might find the game repetitive after a while. In any case, my 6-year-old enjoys the game very much. The first thing she said when she woke up this morning was that she couldn't wait to come home from school so she could continue to play her Zoombinis game. The 2nd CD, Mountain Rescue, is reportedly slightly more advanced, so I'll wait a few more weeks before introducing her to it.

good

This game makes math and learning fun!!! you create your own zoombinis in the beginning, and follow along a mystical map until you reach the end. Sometimes it can get boring, though, and the journey might be too hard for some kids. Before buying this, do a little more research on it.

Excellent and addictive!

I bought this game for my daughter and of course I had to try it out first. It was not only addictive for me, but when my daughter started playing it I had to fight her to stop! She played it for three days straight until she was completely finished with the game. It really made her think. This is an excellent game and I would recommend it for anyone, child or adult.

I love'd this game!

I was probably 14 when I played Zoombinis. My aunt had it for my cousins and well for her too, and thought that I would really like it. Not only do you learn and have fun it's so addicting. The best part about it is that you don't even realize you are learning. I am now 24 and recently purchased the game for myself. Not because I need a refresher course but because I enjoyed it so much. I think that this is a great game for the classroom. I've encouraged many of my friends that educate to install into their classrooms.

Learn with fun

I have a [...] boy and he is in the game-playing age, what I found is that it's REALLY hard to find educational games. So between bad games and crap like "investigative math" from school, he is not learning much other than reading.

This game really fill the gap and it's designed to be FUN and challenging at the right level for kids. My son likes it so much, I just purchased the "Island Odyssy" title from Zoombinis.

... the zoombini...

When I first played this game... it was a blast! making
zoombinis, a map, great challenges, oh, I could play it forever! [But to note that the game is hard and it is bad to rush because it is more of a challenge itself than a play, play, play game.]

Algebra Made EZ

I honestly think this game made Algebra come easier for me. It is a really fun little toy. You take a party of sixteen zoombinis, each of which have different eyes, hair, feet, and noses. (You choose how they look) Then, based on physical appearances (generally) you have to get them through obstacles. For instance a certain "monster" only lets zoombinis with red noses pass. There are also games where you have to use deduction. It helps build skills really well AND its fun. This is a really excellent choice for a computer game, probably for ages eight and up (I'm 14 and I still play it).
