The Story: Why PUCK RACER Exists

Let’s be honest: We built this because we were simply too cheap to spend 300–400 € on a commercial reaction light system that only comes with 4 pucks, requires a paid monthly subscription, and offers 200 extremely similar games… that essentially boil down to 5 different game modes.

PUCK RACER now features over 25 unique games. Highly customizable. Multiplayer and multi-group support.
Simple training aids and tools for coaches, exciting reaction games in team or group mode, and plenty of straightforward games you can creatively integrate into your training sessions. Take a look at the Games page.

We also noticed that the sports equipment at my kids’ elementary school hasn’t really changed in 30 years. It was time for an upgrade.

We developed the system together with PE teachers and coaches. It is currently in a testing phase under tough real-world conditions at an elementary school.

PUCK RACER is the answer. Perfect as professional training support for sports clubs, to spice up PE classes at school, or simply to be the absolute highlight at any kids’ birthday party.
We’d describe it as a PODs DIY solution – only on steroids :-)

The Catch

Yes, building 4–10 pucks and a coordinator does take some effort. It requires time and patience. But with the upcoming PCB, soldering becomes very easy. Each puck takes about 7 hours of print time on a 3D printer (e.g. Bambu A1 Mini).

The Reward

You get a fully customizable system where the hardware costs per puck can be pushed below 20 €. Do the math. 😉

Nice side effect: Teach your kids how to solder. The difficulty level is easy to moderate. My 9-year-old twins built 5 pucks almost on their own – with only minimal help.

Our Philosophy: Your Game, Your Rules

We’re not fans of subscription models. Maybe we’re old school that way, but we love the idea of buying something and actually owning it.

That’s why PUCK RACER is deliberately different. There’s no cloud, nobody collects your data without asking, and you’re not dependent on an app that might disappear from the store tomorrow or start charging fees.

PUCK RACER is designed so that everything runs independently and locally on the coordinator. All you need is a reasonably up-to-date smartphone or tablet with a web browser, connect to the PUCK RACER Wi-Fi, and the fun can begin – simple, direct, and without detours.

Privacy: Short and Sweet

The system runs completely locally and does not collect any personal data on a server. No data from your players or training sessions is sent anywhere.
