Explore physics — and have a lot of fun doing it — with BoomTrix marble trampolines!

BoomTrix, from Goliath Games, is a series of sets of small trampolines and ball bearings, along with some other fun gadgets and devices so you can set up a course and send those metal marbles bouncing. I was sent the “Showdown” kit to try out, and my kids and I had a blast with it.

Here’s what comes in the Showdown set:

  • Ramp Tower
  • Booster
  • Stunt Ring
  • Firework Goal
  • 6 Trampolines
  • 4 Ramp Curves
  • 12 metal balls

The exact trampoline count is a little funny, because it counts the one attached to the booster (the center of the top row), but apparently does not count the one attached to the ramp tower, which is a different color than the rest but otherwise seems identical.
