Questions

The stuff people usually ask.

What are GlowBlocks?

Personalised letter tiles that glow when you connect them together. Pick a name, we make the tiles, you connect them and watch them light up.

How do they work?

Place your letters together and they glow. Pull one away and it goes dark. Push them back together and they come right back. No Wi-Fi. No app. No setup.

What's the setup like?

Unbox. Connect. Done. That's the whole setup.

How long do the batteries last?

5-7 months while connected. When tiles aren't touching each other, they enter sleep mode and conserve battery. When it's time for a swap, it takes seconds.

How bright are they?

Not harsh at all. The tiles breathe slowly and softly — more like a candle that doesn't flicker. It's the kind of glow you want on a nightstand, not a spotlight.

How big are they?

Each tile is 2.52 inches wide by 2.5 inches tall. Small enough to fit anywhere, big enough to notice.

Can I choose different colours for each letter?

Yes. You can pick a preset theme that applies colours automatically, or switch to custom mode and choose the exact colour for each individual letter.

What are the preset themes?

Rainbow, American Flag, Party, Tropical, Sunset, and Ocean. Each one applies a curated set of colours across your letters. Or go fully custom with any hex colour you want.

How much do they cost?

$14.99 per letter for 1-3 letters, $12.99 for 4-6, $10.99 for 7-9, and $9.50 for 10+. The longer the word, the better the deal. Custom colours are a one-time $5 fee.

How long does shipping take?

Standard shipping is 5-7 business days ($5.99). Express is 2-3 business days ($12.99). You pick at checkout.

Where do you ship?

US, Canada, UK, and Australia for now.

Can I return them?

Yes — 30-day return policy. If they're unused and undamaged, you get a full refund. Check our return policy page for details.

What's GlowBlocks: Words?

It's coming soon. A spelling game that uses the same tiles. Tap a word card on the reader — it reads the word out loud — then your child finds the right letters and connects them. Get it right and the word lights up. It's a toy and a spelling enrichment tool in one. Stay tuned.
