Assembling your Marble Genius Marble Run is a creative process. The pieces are designed for easy connection, allowing for stable structures.

  1. Unpack All Components: Carefully remove all building pieces and marbles from the packaging.
  2. Familiarize Yourself with Pieces: Refer to the "Components List" section to identify the different types of tracks, connectors, and action pieces.
  3. Plan Your Design: Before connecting, consider the path you want your marbles to take. Start with a stable base structure.
  4. Connect Pieces: The connectors are kid-friendly and fit snugly. Push pieces together firmly until they click into place. Ensure connections are secure to prevent the structure from collapsing.
  5. Incorporate Action Pieces: Integrate funnels, wheels, and loops into your design to add complexity and visual interest.
  6. Test Your Run: Once a section is built, test it with a marble to ensure smooth flow before adding more height or complexity.
  7. Build Vertically: Utilize the various column pieces to build tall, impressive structures. Ensure the base is wide and stable enough to support the height.
