Wooden 3D puzzle Marble Run Chain Hoist from Ugears. DIY model kit. No glue needed. Choose a favorite marble and try to guess which path it will take!
What is it about marble runs that makes them so compelling? Kids and adults can watch marbles going down a track, passing through various obstacles, for hours on end. Marble runs and races have become an unexpected YouTube phenomenon, with thousands of videos racking up millions of views. You choose a marble to watch, to cheer for, you wonder which path it will take, you put yourself in the marble's place, imagining that you are right there with the glass ball, going on a marvelous, unknown journey, with twists and turns and surprises around every corner. The thrill is even greater when you've built the marble run yourself. Now you're not just passively watching a video—you're fully invested because you built a wondrous machine with your own hands.
Presenting the Ugears Marble Run Chain Hoist—an exciting kinetic sculpture and an intricate toy that teaches as it entertains. Turn the handle clockwise to set the machine in motion, and watch as the wooden chain hoist collects and lifts the marbles to the top of the machine, where a 3-way switch distributes them on different tracks. The Marble Run Chain Hoist is modular and can be connected to other Marble Run Chain Hoists (2 or 4 models can be connected, in pairs) using special connectors (included). Attach two Marble Run Chain Hoists together frontally, or connect four together, both frontally and laterally, for a mini system of hoists and runs.
