The 134-piece Quadrilla Vertigo Wooden Marble Run includes blocks and accessories such as three twisting funnels, one seesaw, and accelerators for designing dynamic marble racetracks. Suitable for ages 4 and up, this set encourages creative building with easy-to-stack wooden pieces that can be rearranged quickly using the included Idea Booklet or the free Quadrilla app.
Each piece is precision-crafted for small hands, allowing children to construct spiraling marble runs while developing STEAM skills. The set works best on a hard, flat surface and is compatible with other Quadrilla sets. Winner of the Oppenheim Platinum Seal, Quadrilla promotes spatial reasoning, problem-solving, and teamwork.
The set features straightaway rails, spiral funnels, and a seesaw for engaging play. Made with FSC-certified wood and finished with non-toxic, child-safe paints, Hape toys meet high safety and quality standards. Ideal for ages 4+, this STEM toy fosters 3D thinking and endless building possibilities.
Things to Keep in MindA primary concern among users is the toy's significant lack of stability, as constructed models are frequently described as wobbly and prone to collapsing easily, leading to frustration and repeated rebuilding. Additionally, some users find assembly challenging due to difficulties distinguishing colors in the instruction manual and the necessity for very precise piece alignment for the marbles to flow correctly. There are also mentions that some key components are plastic, which may not function reliably, and this raises questions about the overall value for the price. Why You'll Like ItThe toy is consistently praised for its high-quality, durable wooden construction and smooth finish. Users report that it effectively engages children and adults in building, fostering imagination, and introducing concepts of physics and probability, often aided by the detailed instruction booklet with multiple design options.
