Time Magazine has revealed its annual list of the Best Inventions of 2024 and the Thames & Kosmos vertical marble shoot, Gecko Run, is on it.
For the past two decades, Time has compiled a list of best inventions across a variety of categories. Time editors and correspondents evaluate countless worthy submissions on a number of factors, including originality, efficacy, ambition, and impact. The result is a list of 200 groundbreaking inventions that are changing how we live, work, play, and think about what’s possible.
“We are so pleased to learn how much our fun twist on the classic marble run has resonated with so many people”
Jo Drage, sales director of Thames and Kosmos UK, said: “We are so pleased to learn how much our fun twist on the classic marble run has resonated with so many people. It is with your support that we are able to create toys like Gecko Run [Shoot] – products that inspire kids (and adults!) to think deeper, play longer, and figure stuff out!”
Gecko Run is all about flexible tracks, fast curves and clever additions – each component is individually attached to vertical, smooth surfaces using residue-free nano adhesive pads and can be moved, adjusted and fine-tuned in a matter of seconds. Whether over obstacles, on doors, glass panes, tiles or shelves – the Gecko Run tests what is possible.
