Most of the puzzles involve the physical features of the Zoombinis as part of the solution. The game depicts the Zoombinis’ search for a new home, featuring a variety of logical puzzles which the player must solve to get the Zoombinis to their new home. However, they are tricked and enslaved by their neighbors, the Bloats. The Zoombinis are a race of small blue creatures depicted with varying facial features, initially living in prosperous peace on a small island called Zoombini Isle.
