NEWS – Get ready to roll into the future of marble runs! Marblelous, the world’s first high-tech interactive marble run lauches today (March 25th, 2025) on Kickstarter. This isn’t your grandpa’s marble run – it’s a game-changer that blends classic fun with cutting-edge tech.
What Makes Marblelous Special?
Marblelous takes marble runs to a whole new level. It’s packed with smart sensors, light and sound effects, motors, and actuators. This means every track you build becomes an immersive, interactive experience. But that’s just the beginning.
Smart Home Integration: Marblelous plays nice with your smart home setup. You can connect it to systems like Home Assistant, Sonos, Philips Hue, Google Home, Alexa, Nanoleaf, and more. Imagine your marbles triggering your favorite tunes or lighting up your room!
Endless Creativity: With Marblelous, you’re not limited to a fixed set of pieces. You can use common household items to extend your tracks. Got some paper straws lying around? Perfect! This eco-friendly approach means you can build bigger and wilder tracks without breaking the bank.
App Control: The Marblelous app puts you in the driver’s seat. Drop marbles remotely, start races with friends, tweak settings like motor speeds and LED colors, and choose different sound options.
The Brains Behind Marblelous
Stephan van Lumig, the creator of Marblelous, is a 44-year-old tech enthusiast from the Netherlands. With a background in applied sciences and a history of founding innovative companies, Stephan’s no stranger to thinking outside the box.
When COVID-19 forced him to close his home cinema and escape room businesses, Stephan didn’t just sit around. He poured his energy into bringing Marblelous to life. For the past five years, he’s been working overtime to perfect this high-tech marble run system.
What’s in the Box?
Marblelous is launching with a complete lineup that includes:
- Starter Set: Everything you need to begin your Marblelous adventure.
- Six Smart Tricks: These are the secret sauce that makes Marblelous truly special.
Let’s take a closer look at some of these Smart Tricks:
- Marble Dropper: Drop marbles with a touch or control it through the app.
- Spiral Lift: Automatically lifts marbles to keep your track going.
- Wheel: A futuristic device that elevates marbles in a 3D setting.
- Lane Switch: Directs marbles left or right based on color, random selection, or your choice.
- Teleporter: Makes marbles “disappear” from one spot and “reappear” in another.
- Detector: Tracks lap times and can trigger other smart home devices.
Building Without Limits
One of the coolest things about Marblelous is how flexible it is. You’re not stuck building on a tabletop. With suction cups, you can create tracks on windows, whiteboards, or storage boxes. Got some LEGO bricks? There’s a connector for that too.
Want to take your marble run outdoors? No problem! Marblelous comes with “ground mounts” that let you build in your garden or even a sandbox. You can weave plants into your track for a truly unique design.
More Than Just Fun
While Marblelous is a blast to play with, it’s also got some serious educational chops. It’s STEM-certified, which means it’s a great tool for learning about science, technology, engineering, and math. Kids (and adults!) can explore concepts like gravity, momentum, and cause-and-effect while having a ball (pun intended).
The Future of Marblelous
Stephan and his team aren’t stopping here. They’ve already got two expansion sets waiting in the wings. This means the Marblelous ecosystem will keep growing, offering even more ways to build and play.
