Well, adults love it for the same reasons, but there are other plus points that speak for the innovative marble track system from Ravensburger: for example, through the free design and exploration of the rolling behaviour of the marble, science is experienced in a playful way and the understanding of physical and mathematical laws is sharpened. We learned that having a level table is vital for this because sometimes the subtle height changes in a design aren’t significant enough to keep a marble rolling if the whole thing is tilted a bit in the wrong direction, and sometimes marbles would roll backward out of a landing area if it bumped into something. We're always happy to answer any questions or queries you might have, please get in touch using one of the methods below.

You will need the base set to play with these, though, as no tracks, tiles, or marbles are included. It’s already had plenty of play in my house, and I look forward to bringing it out for any design-minded visitor. This is how an individual course is created from your and our ball track world - and a lot of fun with the result and the way to it. With powerful action bricks, smart elements and a spectacular mix of magnetism, kinetics and gravity, GraviTrax is not only endless fun to play with, but also science to touch and experience.Some of the accessories, such as the zipline (not tested) and the magnetic cannon (included in the starter sets) require you to use extra marbles to make them work, but those accessory sets don’t seem to come with extra marbles.

It can be relatively affordable, just by purchasing a base set, or it can be something you literally build on over time, with expansion sets and accessories. Through twists and turns, redirections and boosts, you get to see which marble makes it to either the finish line or a finish receptacle first. and the pillars and balconies need to be assembled—this is pretty easy as everything is marked with letters and there are instructions in the booklet. Are the gravity spheres stopping or flying off before reaching the end target, then simple, it's time for some problem solving! The marbles are made of metal and are decently heavy for their size, so they roll really well and keep their momentum.The GraviTrax PRO, along with its expansions and accessories, is a marvelous set that can build both simple setups and elaborate configurations, depending on the ages and desires of the people playing.

GraviTrax is made with premium quality materials adhering to the highest UK and EU standards and regulations. Similar to needing a level table, you must make sure that all of your hexes, tiles, and pillars are seated snugly and pushed down completely. With the most diverse elements and building blocks, a huge portion of action, fun and the laws of gravity, the GraviTrax system creates incomparable tracks - and unforgettable moments.The landing pad is also a useful tool, especially for routes that are coming from different directions. This also changes the turntable itself, giving kids more control over possible routes and allowing them to build ingenious tracks. Combine with the “GraviTrax Pro Starter-Set” or any “Starter-Set” and boost your track to a new level, chock-full of tall towers, twists and stunts.

It’s helpful that three of the marbles are a color other than silver, which helps you follow them around the track and know which marble started where and which one ended up in which place. If height is really, really your thing, even the number of pillars and walls included in the PRO’s starter set may not be enough for you. The magnetic cannon is a really cool inclusion in the base set, since it takes one marble that might not be moving very quickly and, when that marble hits the cannon, propels another marble with a lot of speed, possibly giving it enough momentum and energy to go uphill on another track piece, extending the marble’s potential run. Children love GraviTrax because they can let off steam creatively, build worlds and have lots of fun and action. They are placed under the tiles and curves, but can also be integrated into the towers and balconies.The base tiles being cardboard, though, means that they could easily wear out with a lot of play, with the constant insertion/removal of pillars and tiles. Larger items, primarily outdoor or ride-on products are shipped directly from Hamleys partners and may take longer to arrive. Freestyle with your own track design, or use the included tasks and blueprints to help you get started in the world of GraviTrax! With the GraviTrax marble run system, world builders and designers from 8 to 99 years can develop their own course and reinvent it again and again. Building the included designs was fairly straightforward and didn’t require a lot of thinking, but building your own sets, both simple and sophisticated, really got our mental juices flowing.
