ROKR takes you on a journey of science and sorcery with its latest marble run model, Alchemy City. Travel an enchanting path filled with magical tracks, colorful effects, and pulsing rhythms that echo the pursuit of perfection and the immortality of matter. Are you ready to witness the continuous alchemical metamorphosis of speeding spheres?
The Lore of The Alchemy City
The transformation begins with permission from the Alchemical Council, granting you a 247-piece 3D puzzle kit you need to build into a futuristic metropolis of colors and flashing lights. Once assembled, the alchemical process commences with an automatic ladder lifting the marbles in succession to the top of the circuit. One by one, they are released into shimmering crystal passages, a transparent elevator, twisting sky bridges, and the towering Chaos Capitol, where a creature hovers in a capsule awaiting transmutation into its purest form. At the end, the marbles reach the eternally burning biomass core that powers the city. All the while, lights breathe and shimmer in combinations different from the last, creating a dreamscape spurred on by ambient sounds. Then, the cycle repeats.
As part of the Parallel World Series of marble runs, the kit includes a link pack that connects it to other models, such as The Last City and The Future City. It’s called the World Kit, a 191-piece connector structure that expands the marbles’ travel to neighboring universes.
Special Alchemical Features
The Alchemy City is no mere display. It’s a 3D puzzle and marble run toy with an interactive light show powered by environmental music and sound. The effects result in a breathing cityscape designed with intention and powered by imagination.
Immersive and Interactive LED System
The model is fitted with 7 light boxes that create over 120 combinations of light sequences for a fully entertaining light show.
Watch the video to see how the lights of the ROKR Alchemy City Marble Run change with the surrounding sounds.
Intriguing Alchemy Theme
The design is inspired by ancient alchemy philosophy, demonstrating the cycle of metamorphosis and infinite power with each channel and obstacle.
Node Gear Drive Mechanical Core
The Alchemy City has synchronized movement through an interconnected system of gears controlled by a single, powerful hub.
Dual Operating Modes
With one touch of a button, Sport mode activates the automatic staircase, the journey of the marbles, and the endless combinations of pink, orange, purple, and green lights. Touch the power button again and activate Viewing Mode, where the marbles halt their journey but the lights continue to react to ambient sounds.
Ease of Assembly
This marble run model utilizes the jack-type panel system for easy, snap-on construction that doesn’t need endless screws or adhesives. Easy, breezy, but ever busy.
Premium Color and Texture
A series of quality surface finishes, including low-pressure spray, pad printing, and UV coating, creates tangible textures, depth, and clean layers on the structure.
Limitless Expansion with the World Module
Connect as many Parallel World marble runs as you want to this model using the World Module, a 191-piece link kit that’s included in every purchase of the Alchemy City.
The Magic is Yours
ROKR continues its tradition of offering immersive builds with creative and meaningful themes. With the Alchemy City, the company applies the traditional concept of continuous transformation into perfection with its intentional design. The luminous tracks reflect the search for enlightenment, the infinite marble cycles reflect eternal refinement, and the mechanical core represents order within chaos.
Relating it to our crafting hobby, 3D puzzle building doesn’t just increase our skills in miniature construction, but it is a spiritual journey towards stress relief, relaxation, and mental well-being. It involves meditation, focus, and time away from the noise of the outside world to build something that is ultimately beneficial to us and our health.
That’s the magic of crafting. The clever engineering and impressive effects are just the icing on the cake and the cherry on top of that icing.
Alchemy Belongs to All
Because of these benefits, the Alchemy City is an interactive desk display not limited to experienced builders, collectors, gamers, or STEM learners. It is for everyone fascinated with light, motion, and mythic storytelling. It’s also for those seeking unique gifts for any occasion.
We are all builders in one way or another. Thus, we are all alchemists.
Looking for an Experience?
ROKR continues the pursuit of excellence with the Alchemy City. This miniature light show and marble run not just entertains, but reminds us that the purpose of motion is to travel further and improve ourselves along the way. Our lives are infinite loops of transformation towards our immortal destination of meaning and significance.
But first, we need to build to grow. Growth is limitless, with ROKR Parallel World ever-expanding and ever-evolving.
