Build. Solve. Make it move.

New: the Boom & Bang and Magnet packs, a castle to knock down, letter blocks, paint, iCloud sync and seven languages.
Can you make it move?
Things In Motion is a playful mechanical puzzle game about building machines, understanding motion, and finding clever ways to make simple parts work together.
Start with 30 handcrafted challenges built around gears, pulleys, ropes, springs, ramps and gates. Experiment, rebuild and discover your own solution — there's more than one way to solve each.
Then leave the rules behind.
Open a blank bench and build whatever you want — walking machines, marble runs, a mechanical piano you can play, or something nobody has thought of yet.
Explore 42 blueprints to see complete machines in action, understand how they work, and take them apart for your own creations.
• Solve 30 mechanical challenges
• Build freely on an open-ended sandbox bench
• Explore and learn from 42 working blueprints
• Experiment with gears, cams, pulleys, springs, ropes and magnets
• Create walkers, marble runs and musical machines
• Share videos, with sound, and invention files with friends
• Watch every part interact in real time
Free to start: the first 5 challenges, a starter kit of parts and 13 fully editable blueprints. Every machine runs for everyone. The Full Workshop unlocks 15 more challenges and 12 more parts. Two packs add more: Boom & Bang (drums, strings, bombs, a confetti cannon and fireworks) and Magnets (bar magnets, electromagnets, a compass and a coil lamp). Each is one purchase, yours on every device. No ads. No subscriptions.
There isn't always one right answer.
Sometimes the best part is simply asking:
What happens if I connect this to that?
Build something.
Make it move.
