For parents, grandparents and teachers

Nobody warns you that scissors are a skill.

Laces became velcro. Dials became buttons. Everything became a swipe — and children's hands stopped getting the practice they used to get for free. This is a climbing game for the kitchen table that gives it back.

You're not a bad parent

You're not a bad parent. Nothing in a modern house asks a child to use their hands.

Teachers have been saying it for a decade: the pencil grip, the scissors, the lunchbox they can't open. It isn't the children. It's what we handed them.

And every fix you've bought so far was boring, which is why it's in a drawer. This one they fight over.

How it works

  1. Pick your block

    One for the kitchen table. Two or three for a family or a classroom.

  2. Screw on the 12 holds

    One Allen key, two minutes. Then hand it over and say nothing.

  3. Let them find the routes

    32 of them, Yellow to Purple. Easy enough at six, hard enough at sixteen.

  4. Play them for it

    Loser does the washing up. This is the step that makes it stick.

From parents who bought one

Thought this would entertain them for maybe 20 mins… It's been 2 weeks and they still rush to it after school.

Verified buyer

It's for my son — he's 12 and I want him to continue to love climbing the way he has. It's been so good for him.

Post-purchase survey

Less screen time for my daughter hopefully, and a game we can play together as well as the hand exercise.

  • 60 days. If it never gets picked up, send it back.
