Solving this puzzle is like playing Guess My Rule - on Level 1 the game sorts the Zoombinis according to one characteristic - for example, all the Zoombinis with sunglasses go across the bottom bridge the rest (one-eyed, two open eyes, regular glasses, and droopy eyes) go across the top bridge. Zoombinis who are placed on the incorrect bridge are sneezed back by the Cliffs (this also removes one of the six pegs holding the bridges in place). Each Zoombini can go over only one of the two bridges. Players get six chances to get all 16 Zoombinis across a chasm. Logical Journey of the Zoombinis: Sample Dialogue
