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.

I gave a ZipString to my 8 year old son for Christmas, and he loves it! Especially the glow-in-the-dark string, haha. My only complaint is that it is difficult to load the string properly onto the wheel. It takes me several tries to get the string positioned just right so that the device will work. Once it works, it is fun and amazing, but just difficult to get the string on properly. My son cannot do it by himself... yet.

I ordered about (7) zipstrings for my nieces and nephews and they all love playing with it. And it’s not just the kids. The parents are often found playing with it too making it an all around fun experience for the whole family. We still don’t have the full hang of it. Sometimes if we’re not careful, it’ll snag and we’d have to untangle it and start again. But I think it just takes practice. Thank you for a wonderful and fun product. ☺️

Glad we bought 4 for our family. So much fun from a 6yr old to a 60yr old.. The QR code for tricks made the fun even better. We were outside in the dark loving the glow in the dark part. Them being rechargeable is great too. Recommend buying at least 4 so everyone can play.

My nephews LOVED their zipstring. They do her tangled…IT’S A STRING the flies in the air that it bound to happen. It’s easy to fix as long as you don’t try to yank the tangle. Just gently look and adjust the tangle. Simple!!

I got one of these for my granddaughter for Christmas and she and her little sister loved it and had a lot of fun with it. It came with several lengths of string and she especially liked the longest one. Guess I should have bought two though.

I bought this for my eight year old son for Christmas. I also have two adult sons, that I should have bought one for. Just out of the package I had to recharge this twice because everyone was having such a good time with it. Such a simple wonderful concept that provides a ton of entertainment!

The anticipation and the constant checking by my grandson to make sure that I have seen what this thing is and do I know where I can buy it and do you think I can get it for him for Christmas? He wanted two so his other grandmother is getting the second one. I couldn’t take all that glory on myself. The two of us are ridiculously excited about this thing. So the answer is, it’s the best thing ever, although he has not yet opened them.
