Frequently Asked Questions
Are STEAM STUDIO magnetic tiles compatible with (i.e. same dimensions and shapes) as other magnetic tile brands, like Connetix, Magna Tiles or Picasso? +
Yes, STEAM STUDIO magnetic tiles are compatible with leading magnetic tile brands, however our tiles contain stronger magnets than most so other tiles may not hold together as strongly. Our tiles contain the same strong magnets as found in Connetix or PicassoTiles (newer version). All square tiles and small triangles are with the same dimension as these brands. Our large triangles are the same size as Connetix's newer version. We have provided a detailed review of our tiles here.
