The third installment of the wonderful Zoombinis series does not disappoint. Greedy creatures called Bloats have ruined the ecological balance of Zoombini Island. Your task is to lead teams of Zoombinis on a journey across the island, resolving math and logic puzzles along the way and restoring the island's habitat. In one area, you decipher hieroglyphs; in another, you determine and match sets of patterns. This sounds a little dry, but it's not. The game is colorful and well animated, with appealing characters and music.

To achieve your goal, you'll have to go through each challenge numerous times. Fortunately, the puzzles change enough each time to keep things interesting. Kids might find some areas easier to master than others, in which case the game automatically raises the difficulty level (you can manually reset this). Help is available at each juncture, but the game does not hold your hand; kids will have to make good use of their right brains—and so will parents. This makes it all the more satisfying to succeed. For kids aged 8 and older.
