The ZipString Luma Glow in the Dark is a pocket-sized toy that turns gravity, lift, and a little bit of magic into something seriously cool!

Launching a loop of string at speeds up to 56 km/h, it lets you pull off wild tricks that look like they’re floating mid-air.

And now it glows - so the fun doesn’t stop when the lights go out!

To play, just thread the string through the wheels, press the button, and get ready to step through, loop around, or invent a trick no one’s seen before.

There’s a second button to light up the glow strings, so your moves really pop in the dark!

It comes with five different strings in various lengths, including two that glow for nighttime action.

It fits in your pocket, charges with a USB-C cable, and runs for over four hours on a full charge!

There aren’t many instructions (just a few tips and tricks for tackling the "corkscrew" or "the portal") - because part of the fun is figuring it out yourself.

But, scan the QR code included to see it in action and get inspired to create your own moves!

This is a brilliant gift for kids, teens, or any gadget lover who likes toys with a twist. It’s easy to bring along, fun to learn, and glows like a champion.

  • Includes five strings in different lengths and colours (2 of them are glow in the dark)
  • Glow button lights up the string for night-time play
  • USB-C rechargeable with over four hours of battery life

Grab one now and let your tricks light up the night.

Gave a zipstring to my grandson at Christmas and he loved it and then lost it. Ordered two more and then he found the original. So now it becomes a zipstring party when his friends come over. A great toy.

I bought several for Christmas and they were a huge hit with the kids and adults alike. We love our Luma zip strings! We need to buy more glow in the dark strings to really take advantage of the blacklight though. They're super fun and I love that they're rechargeable.

This was a fun gift to give! It is so nice because everyone can play and enjoy this interactive gift. It is so cool to watch others whether they are holding the Zip-Line or playing by touching, dodging or climbing between the string. It's great for all ages and abilities! It was easy to set up and to change colors. AND nobody cried the whole time!! Everyone played and had a great time!

I gave one of these to all 13 grandkids for Christmas. However, I had to take one out of the box and play with it myself for a while. Great fun. As a bonus grandkids learned how to untangle knots when they get it tangled ha ha. Very fun gift, buy some. One of the all-time clever ideas for a toy.

So grateful that these came pre charged and ready to go out of the box. I had bought 3 for my 5 year old grandson as he is pretty rough on his toys and I got a better price for buying multiples, it was the absolute favorite holiday gift last year! Very durable, he successfully played most of the day without needing to switch it up. The only downside was that he had to share with the other kids. Grandmas take heed, get one for everyone as everyone wants to play!
