Logical Journey of the Zoombinis (All Puzzles, Every Difficulty) Walkthrough

Never thought I would see you comment on a video like this lol. And I’m in the exact same boat. I’d almost forgotten what a cool game this was

[@beaukennedy4618]

I have dreamt of this game for nigh on 2 decades straight each time being just groggy enough to let its name slip from memory this brought me to tears I've been going manic unable to remember which parts of my childhood were real I'm not alone this is surreal

[@matthewwilson1226]

It's an awesome flashback! Would love to get it for my kids.

[@jadenschroeder6015]

I played this so much as a kid, but to come back as an adult and hear, "Soon the bloaks stole everything. . . Taking profits. . . CANCELING HOLIDAYS. . . the zoombinis were getting VERY STRESSED OUT" This clearly proves parents in the early 2000s were wrong, video games prepared children for adulthood probably more than school 💅🏽

I was a lonely child. The first time I can remember feeling proud of myself was all the way back in 2002 in third grade when I and a girl were the two best players of zoombinis in our classroom. What a deep wonderful memory. Our “computer lab” teacher used this game to teach us problem solving skills on the rainbow plastic iMacs. The richness of the art and music filled my dreams and was something I thought about for hours after I came home from school every day.

[@isaacdelarm1490]

Same omg 😂 I loved this game as a kid

[@thearkedcrown]

I was also very lonely when I was a kid. I played this game a lot back in the 90s and playing games like this helped me feel better. Life seemed very boring and lonely to me back then. I don't know why that was.

[@sethost2548]

YOOO same I was the only one to make it all the way to the lily pad level in my computer lab and everyone thought I cheated or something. I just had played a ton of it at home on our old shitty laptop. Still have the rom in my room to this day :)

[@RanterInShades]

My elementary school had this game on all the computers and it was a favorite among us. So much so that I asked my mom to get us the game for PC. I always loved the pizza troll and would sometimes say "MAKE ME A PIZZA!!!" whenever I wanted pizza. But one thing I'll never forget was being in college and scribbling around in my planner. I wrote in big letters "MAKE ME A PIZZA!!!" and showed it to a couple of my classmates trying to strike up a conversation about childhood nostalgia. They had no idea what I was talking about, and that made me super bummed.

[@akajulester]

Yeah, I played this in my 7th and 8th grade computer class. I had transferred in for 7th grade and never played it before, whereas everyone else had. I was the only one who didn't know how to play it, haha. I don't know why, but I never realized that the question mark button would give you tips on each section, so every time I played I would leave behind many Zoombinis (especially at the Allergic Cliffs XD). I really, really, REALLY want to play this game again, but I have no clue where I'd get a CD of it, I don't have an old PC, and the updated version of the game is apparently a mess. :( It really bums me out...

In like 2008 we had a windows 95 or some shit at my great grandmas house and me and my sisters would spend hours playing this. I have no idea how my great grandparents acquired a copy of this game as back then you had to buy the cd, however whenever I try to tell anyone about this game they think I am crazy. I always wanted to play more but it also gave me nightmares. Its so somber and such a listless lonely vibe. I'll always remember the pizza minigame, and watching my older sister beat it so easy when I couldn't understand anything

[@MrEightThreeOne]

Oh wow, that's really incredible to be honest. I love hearing stories from people who played anything I played past its prime, and how you can find common ground with people worlds apart in age. They may have found the game either at a thrift store or on eBay, not sure how they would have known of its existence though. But regardless of that I'm glad you got to experience the game, and it doesn't sound like every memory is fond but I still enjoyed hearing you recount that. Thank you for sharing your story!

[@Theshark15z]

At the beginning I didn't realize the whole patterns of solving the puzzles to this game. In fact I used to just randomize the Zoombinis which was a big mistake because you have to arrange them all in a certain order according to Hair, Eyes, Nose Color and feet.

Something like that.

[@Darkninja105]

Fun fact: If you have a small number of Zoombinis at the start of Titanic Tattooed Toads, the crabs will move based on flowers or colors instead. I don't know why. A few of the puzzles will change if you only have a few Zoombinis. I can see why the devs did that with, say, Bubblewonder Abyss but I don't get why it does that with the toads since it's not based on the Zoombinis themselves.

You are thinking of The Learning Company's re-release. That one has a recorded version of the original MIDI file from the beginning and it got rid of all the other MIDI music. So yeah, sadly that makes it the lesser experience by default.
