Description

Gecko Run takes classic marble runs to the next level with new creative challenges and less restrictive building requirements. 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 any 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 grownups! The Gecko Run Starter Set includes everything you need to zip, zag, bounce, skip, and hurdle into an awesome engineering adventure. 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 expansion packs.

  • Great toy
Kids love it and have played with it over and over again

  • My son loves this set!
My 9 year old has always been a fan of marble runs but this one was a little different and hence captured his interest. He loves the versatility and experimenting with different setups. Very good quality and worth the money. It was the first toy he wanted to play with after opening his birthday presents. ... show more

  • Great toy for saving space
I love this wall mount marble run . It’s great for keeping set up and out of the way . Only able to use a few configurations with this set but well worth the cost

  • Fun Concept. Failed for us.
I loved the idea of these. My 7 year old son was very excited about them when he got them. I helped him set up an easy track and for the life of us couldn’t get the ball catch to stick after getting the marble to it on all but the super gentlest of landings. We were playing with it on the front of his metal locker. It’s been 5 months now and I haven’t seen him play with this since the 2nd week of having them. His older brothers (9,13) also tried various placements to see if they could get it to work properly and had issues with the sticky part detaching in use with multiple different pieces and brand new sticker pads. ... show more

  • Not for those who are easily frustrated!
Well…. This was a FLOP. I read the reviews so I knew what I was getting myself into. It just looked SO COOL. My son is almost 5 and is autistic. He loves marble runs and building things, so I thought this would be a fun addition to his new big boy room. It looks a lot like some of the marble tracks I’ve seen at our local kids museum. It’s so dang hard! I think peeling all the sticky things off is what got me frustrated, and my son fed off my energy and got super overwhelmed. It took too long to get it all ready to put together, and by that time we were both SO OVER IT. He has normal walls in his room, but maybe they’re not smooth enough? Couldn’t get anything to stay stuck. If we did, the tracks kept coming off on one end. I can’t even review this fully since we never got it set up all the way. Someday when he’s at school and I’m in a super chill mood, I might try again. There’s no extra pieces, so be careful! Like another reviewer mentioned, they should have made it with suction cups. Do yourself a favor and don’t buy this if you or your kiddo get frustrated easily!! ... show more

  • Loads of fun but…
This is great and the run sections easily can be manipulated, however…. The adhesive pieces lose stick almost instantly. Got less than a day out of those stickers. You need your own double sided tape.
