General

Gameplay

Minr Zoo tasks the player with completing ten different sections of gameplay, each of which is in its own animal exhibit.

  • Giraffe: Parkour involving ladders, vines, and slimes.
  • Elephant: Four puzzles, each of which awards the player a fruit. Getting the red apple, yellow apple, green apple, and grapes and clicking the pink concrete button completes the exhibit.
  • Monkey: Parkour involving ladders and slimes.
  • Lion: Parkour involving ladders, honey blocks, and low ceilings.
  • Panda: Parkour involving bamboo and vines. A sequence from outside the panda is needed to enter the code within.
  • Polar Bear: Logic puzzle involving changing the polar bears to the correct color.
  • Penguin: Search requiring the player to find 30 penguin player heads.
  • Turtle: Timed sprints where the player has ten seconds per egg to click eggs in a sequence.
  • Dolphin: Mastermind style puzzle where the player needs to run through each ring using a riptide trident.
  • Sea Lion: Parkour across several birds to reach the ball a sea lion is balancing. The player then navigates a parkour maze.


Every time the player finishes an exhibit, they are taken to a room which shows them their overall progress. All ten exhibits must be completed to finish the map. There are several maps located around the zoo that list all of the exhibits on them in case the player cannot find an exhibit.

Aesthetics

The map is split into two major zoo areas dividing land animals and sea animals. Each exhibit is mostly enclosed, but several entrances exist on each exhibit to get into them. All exhibits have several organics of animals inside of them, and the map itself is enclosed with mountainous walls. Areas outside exhibits are also highly detailed, with some areas containing their own organics like the reindeer outside of the progress checker room. A large number of mobs, some of which are based on the exhibits, also populate the map.

Challenges

This map is featured in 7 challenges: 2019 Assortment, Glorious Expedition, Sightseeing 2020, The Path of Heroes, Wrapping Up Loose Ends, Hexa Chapter II: The Renaissance, and Hexa.

Trivia

  • A large number of the armorstand NPCs that appear throughout the map are for players that were active at the time.
  • Shortly after the map's release, players discovered and reported that the polar bears on information board maps throughout Minr Zoo spoiled the correct colors of the polar bear logic puzzle. This has since been fixed.
  • While both the organics and the map mention the tenth exhibit as being for sea lions, the head at the end and the one in the progress checker room use a walrus read. This might be because there were not many sea lion heads at the time.
