Details:
- Innovative: Design your own vertical marble runs with this specially designed system of flexible tracks that does not require any support structures, allowing you to build higher with fewer pieces.
- Intuitive & Mess-free: Tracks attach to smooth surfaces with the help of clever nano-adhesive pads that create a strong but temporary bond; the pads are not glue-based and can be quickly and easily repositioned without leaving behind damage or sticky residue.
- Open-ended & Educational: Combine different configurations and environments for endless possibilities; develop engineering and problem-solving skills and see physics in action.
- Tracks are made from renewable raw materials.
- What's Included: The Starter Set comes with over 60 pieces, including 12 tracks, 7 marbles, 40 nano-adhesive pads, levers, a funnel, and more.

I personally would not bother with it again.

Anyone who has this... are you able to tell me the diameter of the area that has the adhesive? Want to see what size round magnets I would need to find.

While the idea of sticking it to a metal whiteboard worked, the magnets have to be strong to stay on there.... but the metal marbles also sticks to them.
So it's an expensive idea.. and likely need to change metal marbles (even more stuff to purchase) to a diff material marble (or just try your best with metal ones). Probably not worth it....
My complaint is that it is very easy for the marbles to go so fast that they jump out of the tracks. They could have made the tracks just a little deeper. They anticipated this problem in the instructions and blame it on chaos theory and claim it is educational. Ok, sure, but some better engineering would have helped.
It wasn't very long before I was looking to try to make a loop de loop, but it was impossible.
Overall, I can see why it is on sale and at the sale price it is fun and worth it for me. We had some laughs and a little learning.
