Game on! The Gecko Run Challenge Edition  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 damaging adhesives or sticky residue. A quick wipe with a microfibre 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 Challenge Edition has everything you need to zip, zag, bounce, skip, and hurdle into an awesome engineering adventure. The Challenge Edition Starter Set includes 11 feet of track, 2 x launchers, 2 catchers, 2 funnels, 2 x snakes, 2 x trampolines, 2 x twisters & 4 x turns. 

With 32 challenge cards, two rapid-fire launchers, and enough parts for two kids (or two teams) to build their vertical marble runs at the same time, this set turns Gecko Run into a fun, thrilling engineering game.

The open-ended challenges set rules such as using only the specified parts in an allotted amount of time to achieve a stated goal, like the longest run or the fastest run. There are many possible solutions to each challenge, making them excellent for hands-on engineering design activities.

A 20-page, illustrated manual guides you through setting up your first runs and teaches you how all the different elements work. Then draw a challenge card and see if you can win the challenge! Use independently or combine with any of the expansion packs.
