What size marbles are compatible with this set?

Hi, Scot, it's me again! I just checked the box and nowhere, on the outside, does it state specific marble measurements. I researched several brands before I made my final purchase decision, and I must have been recalling a different marble track item. The "marbles" that are included with this set, are actually some type of very hard plastic and they are silver. The real, genuine vintage, marbles I purchased to go along with the gift, are working just fine with the track. I think the real marbles are just a bit heavier.

Sorry, but I don't remember! It is stated on the box, though! I gave my grandson a bag of extra marbles, I purchased online, to go with his Marbulous Run and they worked just fine.

Yes! There are some ideas of how to build it and any marble works fine with it. If your kids are anything like mine, you'll need to replace lost marbles eventually. :) This is a fabulous set. My siblings and I played with Marbleworks for hours as kids and now we are buying additional sets for our kids. Enjoy!

It can really be any size depending how you build it. I actually threw it away and bought a wooden one. This one was very junky and not useable. It caused many tears for my son as it would fall apart at the slightest touch and the marbles would get stuck no matter how carefully it was built.

The marbles are good quality, a variety of colors. I purchased them to give to students attending a field trip to a one room school

Sorry I can't answer the question. The marbles were very light, but they are at my grandson's so I can't weigh them.

Sorry, I'm not sure if they would fit or not. I do know they were a big hit and still played with all the time. Just the right size for little folks.

We do not have the original set, however from what I have read it is not compatible. I would read on line and see what others have to say. My grand daughters are really thrilled with the set and love making different mazes.

Much smaller than a normal marble, more the size of the little "pearlie" marbles...less than 1/2" 5/16" maybe 6/16"

Measure them and do a search on Amazon or ebay for "steel balls". I got a big lot of them for a rolling ball sculpture for just a few dollars.

I was planning on doing just that, but didn't end up buying a second set. If you look at the different sets, you'll see that they contain some of the same pieces. Fyi - I work at a school, and the kids loved playing with the set! Lots of opportunity for kids to analyze why a marble won't go through and then solve the problem. Fun family activity too!

Bought this set for my grandson, and don't know for certain, but my set is regular domino size -- whatever that is. Sorry.

Some of our regular marbles work fine. Some are ever so slightly too big. They will roll part way, then get stuck. Ours that are transparent with a small flame-like design in the middle would get stuck, but most of our solid colored ones worked nicely. These are old marbles from about 1980-ish. Overall, half of our old marbles worked.

Get square inches for puzzle (1708) and square inches for Puzzle Presto (623.5). If you divide 623.5 into 1708, just by eyeballing it, I can see one will need 3 sets and have too much, but Puzzle Presto is still the best way to go!

I gave this set as a gift, which they love. I don't know size, but I think, the size is noted on the "description" on the Amazon site.
