These cookies are essential for proper site function. They include things like the language you prefer, the country your IP address is from (so you can view the correct version of the page), and whatever cookie preferences you choose here.
These cookies help us understand behavior on our website and are critical to help us see which of our advertising and marketing efforts are working.
We advertise on a variety of platforms including social media and internet search providers. These sorts of cookies and the information we share lets platforms match you with your social media or internet search account (we can't see that information, only the platform can). That's helpful because it allows the platform to indicate whether our ads resulted in purchases or not. Then we can optimize the way we serve ads so that we aren't wasting money on ineffective ads. The platform also isn't driving you crazy with completely irrelevant ads. This doesn't make you get any more ads, it just makes the ads more relevant to you.
Turing Tumble is a new type of game where players (ages 8 to adult) build mechanical computers powered by marbles to solve logic puzzles.

Discover how computers work!

A quite sturdy toy that’s great fun AND educational. It’s great that the box includes a way to organize all the bits and pieces.
The only issue that I have seen so far, is that the lever at the bottom right when pushed down by the weight of the marble sometimes doesn’t let go of the marble. This means that the marble releaser at the top doesn’t reset, and the flow stops.

Christmas gift - 8 year old grandson
This turned out to be a wonderful gift for our 8 year old grandson. He loved the story and found the patterning and coding challenging and fun. He could do them on his own.

Turning Tumble
My granddaughter loves the game. I believe it could have been made of a slightly more durable (thicker?) plastic. It remains to be seen how long it lasts. Also, it came with a flyer for a ball picking? Why did this not come with the game? I did just glance at it but saw no obvious cost to the ball retriever.

Big Hit
The little girl I bought it for loved it as a Christmas present, and upper story is the only place online willing to ship it (other places say the manufacturer insist on it not being shipped). As the recipient lives on the other side of the country, this was huge for me. I will be back next Christmas to send more gifts from upper story!
Bought it a day before the cutoff for christmas delivery (dec 15) but it wasnt dispatched until dec 23rd, and It wasnt delivered until 5 days after christmas. Pretty appalling service. Won't be buying anything else from them. It's all very expensive and they cant even ship out orders in time for christmas, even when ordered 10 days before it. DEFINITELY don't recommend this company. it still sits in the box untouched as arrived ao late no point in giving it as a gift. Epic fail.
