When this happens, switch to the practice mode so that players can experiment without losing Zoombinis. This puzzler features the hilarious antics of cute robots known as Podrace Pit Droids. He challenges the player to move 144 droids from the transport ship through eight locations on Tatooine to the Podrace Arena. Moving droids requires solving a series of puzzles using spatial mathematical logic skills. Puzzles start with Pit Droids being launched onto a grid made up of hundreds of individual tiles.
Players get an arsenal of tiles to place on the grid.
For example, placing a blue arrow in front of a blue Pit Droid turns it in the direction the arrow points. Testing hypotheses and trying multiple solutions are the keys to success. It provides a laboratory in which children can experiment with math concepts such as set theory, geometric and spatial relationships, ratios and functions. It boasts an excellent set of tutorials and help. In addition to the game's 300 preprogrammed puzzles, children can design their own.
