By the end of a minigame, a number of Zoombinis may be left behind.
The player then has to do a series of minigames, helping the Zoombinis traverse through dangerous places until they reach the next location on the island. Each combination can be used twice in the game. The player starts at Zoombini Isle, where they assemble a team of 16 Zoombinis, picking from 5 different options each in hair, eyes, nose color, and footwear, for a total of 625 possible combinations.
