Zoombinis Mountain Rescue
Product Description
Serenity is shattered when a band of Zoombinis disappears inside a mysterious mountain. In this adventure, you’ll get to develop foundational and advanced math skills while exploring menacing puzzles!Amazon.com Review
Zoombinis are small blue guys and gals that inhabit a kingdom reminiscent of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth, and ingeniously teach math principles using puzzles instead of numbers. In Zoombinis Mountain Rescue a group of Zoombinis gets trapped in a cave, and it’s up to players to organize a search party that can withstand the most likely travails of a journey owing to this perilous and quirky terrain. There are nine “obstacles” by the side of the rescue route. Players cross a bridge of turtles by sorting Zoombini search party members by nose affect, hairstyle, or other characteristics. Deducing (again, based on features) which Zoombini can snowboard down what path furthers the mission, as well. The search party is held up briefly in a cafeteria where it must use logic to wait on Norfs who drop oblique hints about what they want, or don’t want, to order. Each game will stretch your outcome’s ability to use forethought and analysis to assess a situation. Even the simplest of the three levels is designed to be challenging, so be prepared to help out by the side of this creative and strenuous path.
The genius of this Windows-only program is that it turns sophisticated mathematical concepts into engrossing activities. We played a game called Boolie Boggle endlessly. Boolies either smile or frown, and in this game, the object is to change frowns into smiles by bumping Boolies with pinballs. Pretty simple until you start getting chains of Boolies and chains of pinballs. Soon your mind is throbbing as you try to figure out what a sequence of three pinballs will do to two frowning Boolies. “Binary addition” sounds pretty intimidating, but that’s exactly what Boolie Boggle is teaching. “Algebraic thinking” and “information-age math” are among the other things this program teaches–mercifully, it manages it with small creatures and 3-D mazes instead of formulas and numbers.
As this journey unfolds, members of the search party drop off due to mismatched noses, incorrect path choices, and other errors. Fortunately, there is a practice mode where kids can play the sports meeting without sacrificing their Zoombini friends. Puzzles change elements, so there’s no way to “learn” a level then do again it by rote. There is also a very thorough parent’s guide, which is helpful for parents who have, er, forgotten about binary numbers. Zoombinis Mountain Rescue is a gentle, yet challenging, program that will probably even work its subtle magic on math-phobes. (Ages 8 and grown-up) –Anne Erickson Amazon.com Product Description

Zoombinis Mountain Rescue was really,really dull. I have played the first on and it took me like 2-3 years to work on it. (only because 1) I didn’t play it all the time and 2) I always wanted my dad to help me) ok now we are at a new type of adventure. I had to admit it was sort of enteraning at first then it got just plain dull. I was able to end it in maybe and hour to an hour and a half and the worst part is you don’t have to use all 635 (or something like that Zoombinis) you just need about 180. So I would not recomend this for somebody who want a chanllege, but if you want something honestly simple stick with this. If you want a chanllege take the oringal Zoonbini Adventure.

This game is really excellent, but:
1.The sports meeting are somewhat the same as “Most likely journey of the zoombinis”.
2.The graphics are terrible.
3.It is not very hard to play. I played 2 days and got 2 sports meeting up to the toughest level.
I would buy this game if it were on sale but not for regular price.
