Your Mission: Free the Zoombinis! Guide bands of Zoombinis through 48
perilous
puzzles that never play out the same way twice.
Your Reward: After solving a series of increasingly challenging
puzzles,
you will have ensured the safe arrival of the Zoombinis in
Zoombiniville.
The more Zoombinis you lead to freedom, the larger Zoombiniville will
grow.
Start your journey by solving puzzles that demonstrate observation,
sorting
and theory testing skills. Meet Arno, one hungry, but fussy,
Pizza-Eating
Tree Troll. Discover which combination of pizza toppings satisfy his
testy
taste buds by finding patterns, matching data and testing theories.
Sort
different features to discover which ones don't make the Allergic
Cliffs sneeze.
Find your way out of The Deep Dark Forest by performing two- and
three-dimensional
mapping, matching and grouping. To find a seat on the ferry, sort and
order
Zoombinis so they share something in common with their neighbors.
Using
the Zoombinis' features as coordinates X and Y, place each Zoombini in
the
proper room at the hotel.
Advance through treacherous waters by testing your ability to order and
group
data and analyze patterns. To cross the marsh, hitch a ride on
the
backs of toads by finding the right pattern of colors and shapes on
flowers
and lily pads. Lure the Fleens off the beehive branch by identifying
patterns,
matches and more.
Ensure the Zoombinis' safe arrival in Zoombiniville by cleverly
analyzing,
organizing and sequencing data. Send the Zoombinis in the right
directions
by uncovering intriguing mathematical rules. Balance the
"equation"
by transforming the features of the Zoombinis on the left and right to
make
them identical.
