Help your child strengthen the thinking skills used in math, science, and problem-solving with Gravity Maze, an award-winning logic game that challenges players to build a pathway for a marble to travel through a tower maze using gravity alone.

Each challenge card shows a starting setup, and your child must figure out how to place the remaining towers so the marble travels correctly from start to finish. As children test different ideas, they learn to analyze problems, plan solutions, and adjust their designs when something doesn’t work—the same process used in engineering and scientific investigation.

This type of thinking directly supports expectations in the Ontario Mathematics curriculum, especially in spatial reasoning and problem-solving, where students learn to visualize how shapes and structures fit together and predict how movement will occur through a system. As children build and test their marble pathways, they practise mentally rotating objects, recognizing patterns, and thinking several steps ahead.

Gravity Maze also reflects the engineering design process emphasized in the Ontario Science and Technology curriculum. Children naturally follow the same steps used by engineers: plan a design, build it, test it, and improve it until the marble reaches its goal.

With 60 challenges that progress from beginner to expert, the game grows with your child’s abilities, encouraging persistence and independent thinking while keeping them engaged with hands-on problem-solving.
