“Snuck” isn’t really the right word! Scot Osterweil and Chris Hancock, creators of Zoombinis, wrote an article on this subject back in the 1990s. How are math and logic skills snuck into the game? We’ve been waiting for over a decade for a chance like this to bring it back! When the popularity of tablets rose, we realized they were the perfect platform for a re-launch. The original, in particular, still had a strong fan base, was still regarded as one of the best educational games out there, and TERC regularly had fans asking how to get a version for modern platforms, not OS 9 and Windows XP. Logical Journey and its two sequels sold over a million copies when they released. We loved the Logical Journey of Zoombinis but why did the team decide to recreate the game? This week, we have the opportunity to speak with David Libby, the Director of Technology at TERC about this Logical Journey of Zoombinis rework. The creators figured out a way to immerse logic and math concepts that children and adults alike find compelling. This game is not only addicting but also educational (don’t tell the little kiddies). During each encounter, there are a limited amount of guesses before the game starts dispatching your Zoombinis or before the remaining pack gets separated from the group. The puzzles get more and more difficult as you successfully arrive at each destination point in your voyage. Potato like versions of Zoombinis and help guide them through a journey of puzzles to reach the promised Zoombiniville.
This year, the team has started a Kickstarter to bring back the game with improved graphics, new content and an updated version for tablets and desktops.Īs one of my favorite childhood games, you get to create Mr.
The Logical Journey of Zoombinis is a classic, beloved and award winning puzzle filled adventure created by TERC and Broderbund in the late 90s. Take aim with your paint combinations on the Mud Ball Wall
