This innovative marble run uses a specially designed system of flexible tracks that does not require any support structures. Traditional marble runs require lots of pieces to create vertical height, but with Gecko Run, your doors, windows, cupboards, bookcases – virtually any smooth surface – become part of your track, allowing you to build higher with fewer pieces. Attach the tracks to surfaces with the help of clever nano pads, which work like nanoscopic suction cups, to create a strong, but temporary bond. Because the pads are not glue-based, they can be quickly and easily repositioned many times without damaging adhesives or sticky residue. A quick wipe with a microfiber cloth will keep your pads ready for action! The versatile tracks are made from renewable, durable, and sustainably sourced raw materials. Thanks to their wide range of motion and flexibility, you can create hills and jumps, and even turn corners to generate a limitless number of tricks and stunts. No two tracks are ever the same! Each unique configuration promotes hands-on experimentation, supports problem-solving through trial-and-error, develops motor skills, and encourages creativity for kids and their grown-ups! The Gecko Run Deluxe Starter Set has everything you need to zip, zag, bounce, skip, and hurdle into an awesome engineering adventure. The Deluxe Starter Set includes all components from the original Starter Set, the Loop Expansion Pack, and the Trampoline Expansion Pack. In addition, it also comes with a bonus funnel and lever component. A 16-page illustrated manual guides you through setting up your first runs and teaches you how all the different elements work. Witness physics in action! Use independently or combine with any of the other expansion packs (Twister or Snake).

This marble maze is amazing! I bought this as a last minute Christmas gift for our 12 year old son. Wasn't sure if he would be too old for it, but he loves to tinker and has had fun putting these tracks on the patio door and coming up with designs for the track! It was a great gift!

We got this for our 11 year old son. He has used it every single day. The suction cup option is perfect. He has it set up on our glass door and every day he's changing it and testing it. It's been perfect for cold winter days. Keeps him occupied and helps him learn.

It's pretty cool, but a bit over priced in my opinion. I have it on a very smooth and clean wall in my son's room and it sticks most of the time. The funnel peices don't stay stuck very well but the tracks peices do pretty good. My boy likes it, but gets frustrated when he can't get a peice to stay stuck.

For context, my 6 year old son loves STEM projects and games. That should explain why I chose to get this for Christmas. Long story short, none of the stickers stuck to any of our walls, the refrigerator, the dishwasher, the windows, or basically anything that this product suggests building on. Now, that was extremely frustrating because of the effort we made to re-build our concepts several times over. Moving onto the second issue, the marbles or metal balls are way too heavy for this concept in my opinion. They move entirely too fast because of this the bridges and cups for the ball to land into do not support this. Could be the lack of quality product over-all though.I whole heartedly discourage you from buying this. Look into other brands. We got more frustrated over a toy than we should have. I guess because we really wanted it to work but ultimately it wouldn't. Despite trying all of the recommendations. But you really shouldn't have to accommodate a toy as much as we did. So. I hope this helps any potential buyers.

I really wish that I read through the reviews BEFORE I bought this. We designated a wall spot just for this track and it won't stay stuck! Its glossy paint and I even wiped it down to remove dust first, no luck. My daughter is very frustrated because it would actually be alot of fun. I am going to look into getting a large peice of sheet metal and gluing magnets onto the back of the pieces instead. I really like the idea of this toy and was really looking forward to it, so to say I am frustrated is an understatement. I wish things just worked how they are suppose to!!

I bought this for my son who's very ingenuitive. We tried to put it on the wall and it wouldn't stick. We put it on the side of the cabinet and it stuck for about 3 minutes . He doesn't play with it because we can't get it to stick to anything. If you have a wall you don't mind screwing the tabs into, then maybe this is good for you but then they wouldn't be able to create new tracks. I feel like I wasted my money
