Troubleshooting

Tiles not connecting securely

Ensure the magnetic edges are clean and free from debris. Check that you are attempting to connect magnets with opposite poles facing each other.

Structures are unstable

Build on a flat, level surface. Use more tiles for base support and ensure connections are firm. Avoid creating overly steep inclines without adequate bracing.

Tiles are dirty

Wipe the tiles gently with a damp, soft cloth. Allow them to air dry completely before storing.

Missing pieces

Carefully check the packaging and surrounding area. If pieces are confirmed missing, contact customer support for replacements.
