Marble mazes, while not well-known, are often thought of as a fun way to keep children busy, allowing them to engineer different types of tubing and tunnels together to create an ultimate maze for the marbles to race down. From big drops, to jumps, funnels and spinning valves, these mazes have evolved over the years and have become quite mesmerizing for even adults to enjoy. Just like with Dominoes, which have grown rapidly and drawn the attention of many Americans thanks to DaksDominoes on AGT, marble mazes are quickly becoming a fun hobby for many adults to enjoy. But the fun doesn’t start at creating a maze out of different tubing and tunnels, but rather, taking the fun to the beach!
How do Marble Mazes Work at the Beach?
If you’re wondering how a marble maze would work at the beach, you aren’t alone! Contrary to the more “traditional” way of building these mazes, many coastal towns have combined the maze building with sandcastle building and instead, try to build and create different trenches in the sand for the marbles to race down.
There is no wrong way to build a beachside marble maze, which just adds to the fun. Little kids can grab their shovels and start digging winding trenches, or adults can get competitive and take it up a notch. Mounding sand and starting at high ground ensures that your marbles get plenty of speed or add in some water features and create a “water slide” for the marbles to race down, the sky is limit when it comes to building marble mazes at the beach. Make sure to get different colored marbles so you can track and watch the one you think will make it to the finish line first!
Whether you want building your marble mazes to be a fun family activity or a die-hard competition where the loser buys lunch, by getting out on the beach with your loved ones and crafting and engineering your perfect maze you’re able to slow down, breathe in the ocean air, and truly embrace what living in such a stunning coastal town is all about.
