I bought this game based mostly on the great reviews here. My dissatisfaction with this software is my own fault for not paying more attention to the description of the game which says the software deals with the "basic fundamentals of mathematical thinking as organizing information, reasoning of evidence, finding and making patterns, and systematic testing of hypotheses." Look at that description again. No where does anything say this software is about adding, subtracting, multiplying or division problems. Even the title, LOGICAL Journey implies deductive reasoning. So please don't take my harsh review as being critical of the software itself. It's a good game for doing what it was designed to do which is to teach logical reasoning and deduction. However, if you are like me and looking for math PROBLEMS like add this number to this other number you won't find any of that here. Let me say it again in case it isn't clear yet. I could not find one single arithmetic problem in this whole game.

I bought this software solely on the reviews from this sight, and am I ever glad I did! Both my 4 and 6 year old can play this game for hours! When I first tried it, I though it would be way to hard for my 4 year old ... but she surprised me. This game is fun and encourages logical thinking. I would highly recommend it for any child, regardless of age.

Why I like Zoombinis

Hi, my name is Manuel, I am 6 years old and I like Zoombinis a lot because of all the adventures they go through to pass activities and discover new lands. I also like them because the stories are very exciting.

Hi, I am Naima (Manuel's sister), I am 7 years old and I also love Zoombinis because there is a lot of fun and action. Zoombinis are very colorful, the stories are short but nice, and the game is very challenging.

My kids loved it!

Logical Journey of the Zoombinis

Two or three years ago I got this for my now 11 year old daughter because she monopolized it at her friends' house. Their mother highly recommended it, and I concur. I am now looking to purchase two more for some cousins. They played it over Thanksgiving weekend and both 9 year old boys were hooked! I even became obsessed with for a bit when we first got it. The increasing levels of difficulty lend this game to a wide age range. And the Zoombinis are so cute!

I've played this game so many times! It is so much fun, even now! I love all of the obstacles (especially the bubbles)! It gets more challanging as you progress through the game and rescue more and more Zoombinis! I find myself calling them by their names throughout the game, and you get so attached to them that when they are lost, you feel like they were family, too! A great fun game that I recommend for ages 8 and up!

A great product but may cause frustration in young kids

This is wonderful product for teaching children deductive reasoning skills. It's even fun for grown ups. Each journey begins with 16 Zoombinis who must survive treacherous traps, overcome obstacles and solve problems of increasing difficulty. The only caveat is that all 16 Zoombinis must survive each step so if a child has completed many levels and spent over an hour on the game and then lose a Zoombini, they have to start all over. This caused me to give 4 stars instead of 5. Overall, a good investment.

Zoombini's Logical Journey

Zoombini's Logical Journey
* Grades 3-7
* Mathematics
COMMENTS:
There is no time pressure as in many games, player must think mathematically and use logic skills to problem-solve, arcade type game that teaches classification skills, problem solving skills used as obstacles are encountered, not a typical math program with numbers and arithmetic operations. Instead, the player develops skills working with attributes, patterns, groupings, sorting, comparisons, and problem solving while helping these unusual characters succeed in life.
CLASSROOM CONNECTION:
Logical Journey is an exceptionally well-designed program that will clearly develop math thinking skills. It is challenging, visually captivating, and should hold a student's attention and interest. It is beneficial if someone is available to explain how each obstacle can be overcome as students/children use the program. Logical Journey is also a good program for small groups and independent use in a classroom setting. It should be used to introduce and practice critical thinking and logical reasoning skills.

So much fun!

This is one of the very few computer games where there are no glitches. The graphics, sound, and over all logic of this game are wonderous. Though some people may say it is for younger kids- they are wrong, my olmost fourteen year old cousin loves it- and even adults like it! It's not the same puzzle over and over agin either- clear directions and changing goals and directions give this game a little lift. There is so much more I could talk about with this game- but I don't want to bore you- overall this game is great!
