## Overview

The Gumball Rally STEM Pinball Machine Kit lets kids 6+ build a fully customizable pinball game using edible gumballs. Featuring 45+ modular obstacles, a 3-level rotating ramp, and a clever Archimedes screw ball return, it combines hands-on physics learning with endless replayability. Recognized as a 2025 Toy of the Year Finalist and a top STEM toy of 2024, this kit delivers creative problem-solving and fun in one award-winning package.

## Description

Explore lessons in physics and mechanical engineering with the sweetest pinball machine ever! Build your own customizable pinball machine that uses edible gumballs as the pinballs. Learn about force, motion, collisions, gravity, simple machines, and more as the gumballs bounce off bumpers, slingshot around spinners, ring bells, slide down tracks, and whiz around the obstacle course you create. The targets and accessories can be quickly repositioned into countless configurations, making it easy to test and refine your designs. The pinball machine’s spring-powered launcher and responsive flippers work like their real-life counterparts, propelling the gumball pinballs up, down, and all around! A central ramp rotates to direct the projectiles into three elevated playing areas and ultimately down the winning ramp, where the gumball can be claimed as a sweet prize. Did you miss your mark? Don’t worry! When gumballs fall out of play, a cool mechanism called an Archimedes screw stores them and moves them back toward the launcher again for a new game.

Review: Lo compré para un regalo y le encantó Lleva horas entretenido con esto
Review: This thing is the best gift I bought for Christmas for my 9 year old. He loves legos, but he builds them and then they sit on a shelf. This he built by himself, and he loves playing with it! It is a great little pinball machine. The gum doesn’t taste good, and falls on the floor easily, so it’s more for game pieces. Even my cat is obsessed. And the game is modular. You can move the pieces around to change the game up. I love Thames and Cosmo. I have purchased from them in the past and their customer service is amazing. My son accidentally broke a piece on a mechanical hand toy, and he wrote them an email and they sent him a new piece. Even at full price of 39$, this toy is 100% worth it.

This was purchased a Christmas gift. This is great to build with the kids. The "pinballs" are actually gumballs.
