After Almost 20 Years, the Zoombinis are Coming Back

The world was introduced to the Zoombinis for the first time back in 1996 with Logical Journey of the Zoombinis fromTERC (published by Brøderbund Software, back when they existed). The quirky learning puzzle game earned its fair share of supporters over the year - so much so that TERC recently reaquired the rights to the series and ran a successful Kickstarter campaign to remake it. Which means you're going to have Zoombinis on your iPad pretty soon.

The game hasn't simply been adapted for tablets; the visuals have also had a complete overhaul. So now everything will look better than ever as you guide more and more of the little blue critters to freedom (and safety) as you solve each puzzle. And with 400 of the little buggers to save, you're going to have your work cut out for you.

Zoombinis will be available for the iPad for $4.99 on August 6.
