 Great game for the kids, 2008-03-14
The kids picked it up in no time (ages 9 & 6.) Me, I couldn't figure it out but at least they enjoyed it. However they beat it in one day.
 Disappointed--doesn't work well with my computer OS, 2008-02-07
My fault. I should not have purchased software produced in 2001 for a computer system built in 2007. Too many incompatibility issues. I will give this to someone who has a more compatible system than mine.
Too much of a hassle to use, 2007-12-28
The game itself is great, however, at least on my pc (Windows XP with service pack 2, with an intel motherboard and intel on board video) Each time we want to use the game we have to go to start, run, type in dxdiag, go to the display tab and turn off direct draw. Then we can launch and play the game. That's a bit too much of a pain to use. It says it works on XP, but every machine I know of uses direct draw, so this is really more engineered for older versions of windows I think. This game should be updated so folks don't need to go through this hassle. Otherwise the game itself is great. If you don't mind going through these steps (and maybe if you are lucky you won't have to) buy it.

Great Fun For Your Kids, 2007-03-16
We Got this from a friend, it came highly rated, and it didn't disappoint. My 6-yr-old son loves this. It took him a little while to figure out some of the puzzles - it took ME a little while to figure out some of the puzzles - but is very playable and enjoyable. One caveat is there is a middle part of the game where you will play the same puzzles over and over and over again. If your child is easily bored - beware. However, my son doesn't seem to mind this - he just tries to get better and better at each of the little games.

 An excellent software. I recommend this!, 2006-11-08
This software has many brain-using games, and they are really fun!
There is a story about the Zoombinis so I would recommend you to buy
"The Logical journey" first as it is the first of the story. But,there is a problem. I have two computers, one is XP, and the other is Windows 98. When I tried to use this game and the "The logical journey" on my XP,it didn't work. But on the 98 one, it worked! So well, if you have a XP edition...
But,(here's another but !)XP users don't be disappointed. There is another software named "Island Odyessy" that you can use.
Otherwise, everything is ok. I would say it has been a lot of trouble keeping away from my computer when I have this software running. So be careful parents and everyone, because your child or you will be stuck to the computer and the parents WILL have to drag your child away from the computer. :) All of the software is games, but I think it will be good for the children AND adults because it keeps your hard brain become soft.
Also, it might improve slow minds too.(I myself am a very slow person.:)
I hope this will be a great help to you.
