Marble race video maker

Marble races are one of the most watched kinds of satisfying video: a handful of named marbles, a track full of drops and spinners, and one question that keeps people watching until the end. Who wins?

These simulations run in your browser. You name and colour the racers, choose the track and the physics, and preview the whole race for free before recording it as a vertical video.

Race and marble run simulations

  • Marble Race preview frameMarble Race: Run a seeded 3D marble race and turn it into a vertical video. Name and colour up to six marbles, pick a wooden, neon or candy track and its length, tune speed, bounce and friction, then preview the whole race for free before you record.
  • Marble Machine preview frameMarble Machine: A hopper feeds small marbles into a chain of counter-weighted cups. Each cup fuses the marbles it catches into a bigger marble of the next colour and tips it onto the next contraption, until the rainbow marble lands in the bowl.
  • Ball Slide preview frameBall Slide: Marbles slide down a tower of alternating neon ramps; two that meet at a ramp lip merge into a bigger marble of the next colour until the rainbow marble forms in the bowl. A second rule set rolls one steel ball through self-healing glass pillars and multiplies its weight with every break.
  • Ball Barrier Race preview frameBall Barrier Race: Two lanes race down numbered barriers or floor columns: power against crowd, 1 ball against 1,000 balls, or 5 balls against 1 accelerating ball. Neon, nebula, midnight and paper looks.
  • Ring Escape preview frameRing Escape: A small ball bounces inside up to 150 rotating concentric rings and slips out through each gap while the camera zooms out. Ring shapes, colour styles, rotation patterns, trails and a 1-3 ball race are adjustable.
  • Stick Race preview frameStick Race: Stick figures sprint through a procedurally generated obstacle course of themed zones until one survivor finishes. Style presets switch the whole look, from classic night to storybook, 3D worlds and an arcade stadium.
  • Corner to Wheel preview frameCorner to Wheel: A polygon tumbles down a long slope; every bump chips off a corner and adds a side until the shape rolls as a smooth wheel. Ten looks, rainbow or custom colours, physics sliders and races on up to six lanes.
  • Blob Escape preview frameBlob Escape: Jelly blobs hop through a maze towards the flag while a flood rises behind them. Pickups make a blob big for a few seconds: strong against numbered blocks but too wide for narrow openings.

How to make a marble race video

Open a game in the studio, change its settings, press preview to watch the full simulation, then sign in and record. The video downloads as a vertical 9:16 MP4 for TikTok, Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts.

In Marble Race, every race is seeded: the same seed and settings always replay the same race. Preview a few seeds, keep the one with the best finish and record it. Rename the marbles and you have a rematch.

Ideas that work

Name the marbles after followers, countries or teams and ask viewers to pick a winner in the first second. Use a two-marble versus race for a quick rivalry, or a longer track with six marbles for a standings battle. Marble Machine and Ball Slide are slower, calmer marble runs that merge marbles into a rainbow marble; Ring Escape, Stick Race and Corner to Wheel are races with a different twist.

Questions

Is there a free marble race generator?

Yes. You can preview every race on this page without an account, and the Free plan records non-premium games with a watermark. Paid plans remove the watermark.

Can I put names on the marbles?

Yes. Marble Race lets you name and colour up to six marbles; Ring Escape, Stick Race, Corner to Wheel and Ball Barrier Race also take your own racer or lane names.

Can I choose the winner?

The races are physics simulations, so you do not set the winner directly. Seeded games replay the same race for the same settings, so you can preview until you like the result and record that one.
