What Makes It Uncommon

Part build kit, part game-night legend, this hands-on puzzle is where old-school arcade vibes meet modern-day marble run mayhem for a fully interactive tabletop challenge. Your mission? Assemble the machine, then guide your metal ball through high-speed stages using a system of knobs, levers, and switches—no screens, no batteries, just gears, gravity, and glorious gameplay.

  • Includes 653 precision-cut pieces to build a working mechanical marble run with interactive controls.
  • Shaped like a retro-style game controller for a nostalgic-meets-modern look.
  • Race your marble through six dynamic challenges using knobs, levers, and mechanical buttons.
  • Features include a sky track loop, jump ramp, separator wheel, high-speed conveyor, and ejection cabin.
  • Celebrate a successful run with a rising flag and the ding of a copper victory bell.
  • Great for hobbyists, families, STEM learners, and anyone who loves hands-on fun.
  • Assembled size: 11.6"L x 7.7"W x 8.1"H.
  • Build time averages five hours.
  • Made in China.

Usually ships within 24 hours.
