FAQ’s:

One Failure Toy Kit is good for up to 20 players, which works out to 2 groups of 10. If you prefer smaller groups, you may want to have 1 Failure Toy Kit for every 10 players.

Every Failure Toy Kit comes with a guidebook that has everything you need to start playing right out of the box! We’re currently updating our training offerings but in the meantime, you can get playing as soon as your toy is delivered.

We ship our toys once a week from Ontario, Canada.

We can ship almost anywhere in the world, and we ship using UPS or Canada Post. Once your order has shipped, you’ll be provided with a tracking number of so that you can follow your toy on its journey!

The Failure Toy is player powered, which means that every game is different. You can also vary the rules of the game or the objectives to change the experience. Our team has played the Failure Toy many times and we still learn new things about the toy and each other every time we play. Previous experience with the Failure Toy also allows players to practice skills that they developed. 

Our Failure Toys are made of maple and walnut wood, magnets, and metal. They are designed for players between the ages of 9-99.

The Failure Toy contains magnets, which can be dangerous if they end up inside a living body. Please be careful to keep your Failure Toy away from kids, pets, or anyone else who might put pieces in their mouth.

If any of your players have medical devices that are sensitive to magnets, they can still play the Failure Toy! Just make sure to remove all of the magnetic pieces for all teams before you get started.

If you need to submit a purchase order or pay by a method other than credit card, please fill out our contact form and someone from our team will be in touch!

Not yet, but the Failure Toy is language agnostic! As long as the person running the workshop knows the rules of the game, the players can use any language to communicate.
