El juego en general muy bien, pero un interruptor vino defectuoso y se queda atrancado al pulsarlo
Gracias por su reseña. Hemos enviado un interruptor de repuesto. Por favor, contáctenos en hello@upperstory.com si tiene alguna pregunta.

I bought my first Spintronics for my daughter. Then, I thought about giving it as a prize for our Erasmus+ robotics competition. Upper Story showed us what caring about pupils means and gifted our prizes ! This is a TRUE story about learning and care !

Spintronics, (y Upper Story en general), es único, una idea original y apasionante, que engancha desde el primer minuto. Es una mezcla de arte e ingeniería en todo su esplendor, a mis hijas (de 9 y 14) les encanta, pero lo que me sorprende es que la pequeña está aún más interesada y siempre quiere "un reto más".
A nivel pedagógico me parece una maravilla, he sido profesor de electrónica y hay conceptos que cobran vida e incluso se siente como magia cuando montas los circuitos, una verdadera pasada, maravilloso.
Sobre el precio, vale hasta el último céntimo, normalmente los juegos los usan una o dos veces y pierden el interés rápido, pero no es el caso con Spintronics, te invade la necesidad de saber más y llegar hasta el final.
Si además le sumamos un servicio de atención al cliente impecable, es una compra asegurada de diversión y aprendizaje como pocos juegos.

I am 64 years old. I’ve been an exhibiting artist since graduating from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1990. I’m also a writer, currently publishing a book with Brill (Brill Research Perspectives in Popular Culture). My work lives in language, structure, rhythm, and perception.
I am autistic, and I live with a disability following a failed knee replacement, which has significantly limited my mobility. My world is smaller now, physically—but cognitively, something extraordinary just opened.
I discovered Spintronics.
Not by using it at first—just by seeing an image of it.
And something clicked.
I don’t say that lightly. I mean something reorganised in how I understand systems.
I’ve always been drawn to science. I remember pictures - formulas, diagrams, fragments—but I could never quite bridge them into a living system. Spintronics did that instantly. It made logic physical. It made time, force, resistance—real, touchable, visible.
It didn’t feel like learning.
It felt like recognition.
I now have Act One, Act Two, and I’m working through Turing Tumble (half built and already brilliant). I’ve got more on the way because these systems connect—you can expand them, combine them, build worlds out of them.
And that’s exactly what they are:
World-building systems for understanding.
I genuinely wish I had this as a child. It would have changed the trajectory of my life. I would have instantly brought them into my two daughter's loves.
But here’s the thing—it’s not too late.
This has already transformed how I think, how I see structure, and how I will work going forward.
I work with communities in Scotland, often in high SIMD (Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation) areas. Now based in the Scottish Highlands I explore language—Gaelic, visual systems, pattern, signal. Spintronics will become part of that work immediately. I’m already developing ways to introduce it to young people and communities—because this isn’t just a toy.
It’s a bridge.
A bridge between intuition and system.
Between play and knowledge.
Between confusion and clarity.
And finally—Upper Story’s customer service is extraordinary. Not just good—deeply human, responsive, and generous. That matters.
A lot.
Final thought:
This isn’t a product review.
This is gratitude.
Spintronics didn’t just teach me electronics.
It gave me a new way to think.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Znakomita zabawa, syn 7lat jest bardzo zadowolony, zaciekawiony godzinami spędza przy zabawie, a mama razem z nim. XD Wszystko jest bardzo dobrze wyjaśnione, super historia w książce opisuje krok po kroku jak działa cały mechanizm. Części są solidnie wykonane. Same plusy. Polecam z całego serca. Top firma, dobry i szybki kontakt.

For those who have act one this is a continuation where you left off from act one

Encore en train de jouer avec l'acte 1, j'en suis à la moitié... Pas encore ouvert les autres boites...

My 10 and 16 year old mechanically and computer minded sons love it!!! Even my daughter is reading the book and figuring it out. Great purchase!
We got the bundle with Act I and II

El juego es muy curioso, puedes hacer en él mecanismos muy interesantes y aplicar conocimientos básicos de electricidad. El libro tiene una calidad de impresión genial. Las piezas están muy bien construidas y vienen en un plástico para su mejor conservación. Como manitas, solo me preocupa que se seque la lubricación o que las resistencias no funcionen correctamente en le largo plazo.
En el video se muestra cómo el motor libera desacopla el juego cuando hay un "cortocircuito"

The kids gravitated right to them they come in at lunch just to build and create

Super jeu qui entraîne à la construction, réflexion, attention, passion 👍

My son is 9 and can sit for hours playing with these. I’ve never seen him so focused. Everything is so well made too.

Originally I left an unhappy review because the main battery broke about 10 minutes into opening the box, due to a small part that broke. The company saw my review and immediately (the same day) contacted me to let me know they were sending me a replacement right away. I was so surprised and happy! They did not ask me to change my review, but I wanted to say that I appreciate the kind and quick response of the company to fix the situation! When we got the replacement, we all had so much fun playing with the game, and we all (adults included) learned a lot! Thank you Upper Story for being the kind of company that takes good care of your customers!

My ten year old son bought these with his savings. He has no regrets. These are an amazing toy and he has learned quite a lot already. He was slightly disappointed that the gramma phone doesn’t play music. He has also hoped that the set could be used to build things that would be useful in real life, but that’s not really what it’s intended for. Once he started working with it and solving the puzzles, he loved it!
I just wish it came with even more puzzles!

I previously purchased Touring Tumble and decided to purchase Spintronics as well because we love the stories related to the challenges. The parts are beautifully made, and the challenges teach the concepts in a tactile, engaging way. I would recommend this to teachers and parents alike, but be careful because you may end up playing more than your kids!

I am an electronics engineer and have also worked in production as well as design consumer products.
Everything about this kit has far exceeded my expectations. I could go on and on about how clever and well made the injection molded parts are. The chain links snap together so nicely.
This kit is really wild it’s like it came from an alien universe. The book is very well down. I got this for my toddler, you would think that’s too young he’s almost two and probably a couple more months he will be able to connect the chain and gears together. Right now it’s his favorite toy he begs to play with it. Of course the pieces are small and choking hazdards so do not do this without risk. The ages are 8 and up for the box. He will be able to grow with this kit until he’s in college. I may get another set just to keep at my desk at work to show off. I would love to build a battery and motor pack for this thing. I don’t think this thing should be viewed as a kids toy. I’ve been engineering for a long time and some of the circuits I have to sit and think about for a minute. If I had this in college it would be so much easier to think about with filters or just current flow. I am so impressed with this kit may God bless this company and the designers that made it to help people around the world learn faster.

Mijn zoon is net 6 jaar geworden en gefascineerd door elektriciteit. Dit spel was vanaf het eerste moment een schot in de roos. Niet alleen is het erg leuk om mee te spelen. Het is echt leerzaam, ook voor mij.
We hadden een probleem met 1 van de items , en na een kort mailtje werd direct een nieuwe item opgestuurd per post. Super vlot en vriendelijke aftersales.
Wij gaan hier nog veel plezier aan beleven
Vader en zoon

Produit testé avec des enfants de 7 à 11 ans. Grande qualité du contenu pédagogique. Belles finitions des différentes pièces et de la boite. Permet de bien comprendre le fonctionnement d'un circuit électrique.
Bonne progressivité des énigmes.

Really well done packs of fun. The analogy works and one can wonder why it took so long for someone to think of using it to explain electronics and make the subject tangible. It’s funny that the moment the stories diverge from the analogy by talking about what spintronics can do beyond the field of electronics, the subject matter becomes tougher to understand. However, maybe this is related to my understanding of electronics that preceeded my experience with spintronics. In any case, this stuff is beautiful!
