The Brain Game Retailer's Force Friday Mystery Giveaway Draws Unprecedented Entries

CHICAGO, Sept. 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Marbles: The Brain Store announced that it will be a select retailer of Sphero's highly anticipated BB-8 droid.

Marbles has been one of Sphero's preferred retailers for over two years. Sphero's app-enabled technology allows users to control BB-8 via smartphone to listen and respond, communicate via holograms and adapt its personality based on use. Sphero's BB-8 will retail for $149.99.

"We have no doubt that BB-8 edition of Sphero will prove to be as much of a crowd-pleaser as the original Sphero, if not more," said Lindsay Gaskins, CEO of Marbles: The Brain Store. "We are excited to share BB-8 in advance of the movie's release. Our hands-on approach in-store allows Star Wars fans of all ages to test out the BB-8 technology and bring it into their own home."

In advance of Force Friday and the release of BB-8, Marbles held a mystery item giveaway, which saw unprecedented interest for the brain game retailer. For every purchase between August 10 - September 3, 2015, customers received a physical key in store. Today, Marbles customers will return to the store with their keys and attempt to unlock the Mystery Item. The winner will receive a BB-8 Sphero. An additional Enter to Win Giveaway was held on Marbles' Facebook page and a winner was announced on Thursday, September 3.
