Description
Play Zoombinis and guide the little blue creatures through fun and increasingly challenging puzzles on their way to a new home.
Zoombinis is a re-creation of the classic, award-winning 1990’s puzzle game Logical Journey of the Zoombinis. The small blue creatures, each with distinct personalities and appearances, are escaping imprisonment by the evil Bloats who have taken over the Zoombinis’ home. Players take on the role of guide and help the Zoombinis reach the safety of Zoombiniville.
Use logic, analyze data, spot patterns and hone problem solving skills. Players face a series of increasingly difficult challenges that stand between the Zoombinis and freedom. Twelve perilous puzzles each with 4 levels of increasing difficulty, a great story, and many fun and memorable characters make for an engaging and challenging experience.
We challenge you to get all the Zoombinis to safety!

The game I love and remember--but buggy.
(Logical Journey of the) Zoombinis has always been the ultimate logic game. As a child, I loved playing certain challenges over and over, especially Mudball Wall. As an adult, I've got more strategy: intentionally losing Zoombinis so I don't advance through the levels, whisking these quirky, endearing blue creatures through to Zoombiniville on easy until I get too bored and need more of a challenge. No matter your age level, no matter your strategy, this game has something to offer everyone--and it's fun!
I've logged probably 7 or 8 hours playing this version so far, and I've noticed a couple of bugs.
1. On the "Mirror Machine" challenge: sometimes have a hard time picking up Zoombinis on the top row. I've had to abandon them there because the game just wouldn't pick them up.
2. With the "Fleens!" challenge on Oh So Hard: the game glitches out completely. If a Zoombini falls off the branch (only four can fit?), there is no option to move the rest of the party on. I have to exit to the map. This issue is not replicated in Practice Mode on the same level.
3. In "Pizza Pass" on Oh So Hard: sometimes the wrong audio plays. It's the third troll's voice, but the third troll isn't there. Just a minor glitch.
In spite of the bugs--which will hopefully be resolved!--this game is well worth the price. Educational, entertaining, and just plain addictive. Hip hip Zoombini!
Excited, but please fix the bugs!
I am another adult who loved zoombinis as a kid. I could not have been more excited when my sister told me it was an iPad app. Sadly it looks like I may not be able to finish the game. I hit glitches at Oh so hard in Bubble Wonder. I started getting the puzzles from Very Hard. Mirror Cave is the worst though! On Oh So Hard picking up zoombinis is hard, Very hard started with mirrors refusing to come off or lock on the platform. Now I'm getting unsolvable matches. The crazy thing is it all works in practice mode. Please, please fix this! I want to love this app.
Amazing, just like Elementary school
I absolutely love this game & played it often as a child. The old school cd game I have doesn't play in new computers, so I was so happy to find this app.
There are some glitches as others have said, I've noticed them most in the mirror challenge--doesn't really take away from the game too much, more annoying than anything else.
It took me 3 days and many hours to beat the game. Even though I finished it, I could still play again to try to win more buildings for zoombiniville.
The "very very hard" levels truly are that--I still couldn't get them all figured out and relied on luck and many try's to win.
Really a great challenging game for all ages.
