There’s a new marble run kit on the block, and kids are losing their marbles over it! Unlike other track-building playsets, Marblelous has some epic tech-savvy tricks up its sleeve. 

Marblelous combines the old-school fun of marble racing with the magic of today’s technology. By using gravity-defying mounts, smart sensors, light and sound effects, motors, and more, every surface opens up a new world of creativity and learning for kids to discover. The brand launched in March on Kickstarter, met its fundraising goal in minutes, and is preparing to hit the toy aisle this summer!

Each set includes enough eco-friendly paper straws to build elaborate marble courses on almost any flat surface, from the tabletop to the walls! Older kids can use suction cups or reusable putty to bring their creativity to new heights or put their pile of LEGO bricks to good use with the special universal mounting system. As they design, kids can strengthen their STEM skills, experiment with chain reactions, and foster curiosity that lasts a lifetime. 

Kids can customize their builds with super-cool Smart-Tricks. These electronic devices use the power of Wi-Fi to wirelessly drop marbles, switch lanes, and lift marbles to new tracks. Kids can even bend the rules of space with the Teleporter Set, which magically “teleports” marbles across the room — or across the globe! Each Smart-Trick also connects to Smart Home systems and the Marblelous app, so families can keep the ball rolling anytime, anywhere.

Marblelous sets are available for preorder now with a limited-time discount! The Starter Set gives kids a taste of the marble mayhem, containing 10 meters of track and obstacles for $87. If they’re already racing experts, the Mega Geek Kit ($547) includes two starter kits, 20 meters of track, and all six electronic Smart-Tricks to upgrade their ride. The sets are slated to ship later this summer.

Good news — Marblelous has already passed its crowdfunding goal! Visit the project’s Kickstarter to learn more about this innovative product and be among the first to secure a set.
