Known Issues

Current version

The latest version of Zoombinis for Windows is 1.0.2. Please make sure you’re running the latest version.

Some puzzles are unsolvable in a way that all Zoombinis can’t get through

Some puzzles can just be really hard, but if you think you’ve spotted an issue in the logic, please email us at zoombinis@terc.edu and include as much detail as possible including your device info and screenshots if possible.

FAQs

I remember the Zoombinis have "feet" sounds as they move - will they be restored?

The sounds were in our pre-release builds but we ran into technical issues and in scenes where multiple Zoombinis were moving it resulted in a cacophony. We still hope to bring them.

What about the two Zoombinis sequels - Mountain Rescue and Island Odyssey?

We would like to do more Zoombinis, but have no plans at this time.
