A few days ago, we shared this preview for the 2020 Season across several platforms. Our intention is, to hype the fans a bit in the off off-season and to give them something to speculate about: The next host. There are a lot off different hints in this picture - Some misleading, some being of value. Feel free to share your findings in the comments here!
We already selected the host in our Com...

Hey gang!
That's right, we are so happy to finally share with you, that we are working on our own Quarcetti Marble Run Set! Dion spent a lot of time in the past days at their central in the Netherlands and discussed a lot of details for the set itself.
You get to know a few of those right now, but first of all, a small disclaimer: This is EXCLUSIVE news to you - Please, do not share it to the public yet! This is out secret for now!😉
The set wi...

Dear Patrons,
we did it. The MarbleLympics 2019 main tournament is over and the feedback we received so far was overwhelming. Our team has finally some time to catch our breath and to look back at the season as a whole. Our staff will start their evaluations for every event soon and we will present the results to you guys here, of course.
Now, what will await you in the next couple of months?
After a short brake, during which Jelle and Dion will go to Japan,...
2019-06-12 12:23:31 +0000 UTC View PostDear patrons,
with the production of the MarbleLympics almost finished, it's time to break the silence and provide you the extra content you well deserve here again! Today we present you a preview of the surfing event (E12). Jelle even made some custom surfboards for the marbles to make the event as immersive as possible!
The scoring will be a combination of surfing distance and finish time - A very interesting dynamic. How do you like the event? Let us know!

Hey #KnikkerClan! This is the first version of our rulebook. We published another version on twitter, which is reduced to the events with detailed rules only.
In this version, you will find all events that have been and will be in the MarbleLympics. Feel free to read through it and give us some feedback!
Our priority at the moment is to add detailed rules for the upcoming events first.
1. MarbleLympics
So far, everything is running smoothly and we are full on schedule. E3 is already fully edited and ready to launch tomorrow at 19:00 UTC!
E4 "Gravitrax Slalom" is also fully recorded and being edited by our team, just as E5 "5m Sprint". We expect these events to come out in time too.
In response to the controversy of our decision not to redo Heat 1 of E2, we started creating an official rulebook that will be accessible to the public. We will write down globa...

A bit personal but I think I can share this with this small community. As brother I’m so proud to have Jelle as my brother, we grew up together (Jelle 1983/ Dion 1981). To explain to you, for someone with Autism it is hard to express emotions/ reciprocity to their loved ones. But Jelle shows a lot of love for his family (and my kids), he is still developing social skills that I had never expected. This is very rare for someone with limited opportunities to develope these. Amazing to see, fo...

The last four marbles found their way to the stadium today. Jelle sends his best regards and he's really looking forward to present the Opening Ceremony and E1 on Friday!
2019-04-17 10:47:16 +0000 UTC View PostJelle upgraded the stadion with Light Staxx Blocks and demonstrates some of the programs in this video. Amazing addition, isn't it? Enjoy the video!
2019-04-16 12:24:15 +0000 UTC View PostAs promised and eagerly anticipated by some of you: Here's the answer to the mystery. Jelle treats them all so lovely! Enjoy!

And look how beautiful you all are! Enjoy your stay at the Seven Seas Stadium and thank you once again for supporting us! We will order the rest of the VIPs soon.
2019-04-10 15:21:56 +0000 UTC View PostIt really is huge. To give you an idea of the size of the Oceanic's stadium, in which the 2019 MarbleLympics will be held, I filmed the whole length of the stands. Additionally, enjoy this picture here in which you can see some of the brand new fan signs:
Exclusively for our Patrons, we present the overworked water track with greater visibility and even more exciting races. Enjoy!

During my visit to Jelle's studio today I was able to take a lot of pictures and I'm so excited to share them with you guys! To make the final countdown until the MarbleLympics a little easier, I will share a couple of pictures every day and along with that, some exciting details and stories Jelle told me! I also managed to record a sleek test run of the water race in 60 FPS, which I will share with you in a couple of hours.
Stay tuned and keep rolling!
